About this business
After sustaining a major spinal cord injury in 2005 due to a bicycling accident that left me initially quadriplegic, I have personal experience as a patient in need. Through excellent surgery, rehabilitation and caring from others, I was able to resume my career as a spine surgeon and my meaningful goal to help improve the lives of my patients using my own experience and decades of knowledge in the spine surgery field.

Dr Spann does not listen to his patient, he looks at the MRI and says "we all have tears." I told him I can't sit for more than a couple minutes without pain and I can't lift more than 20lbs. He said "go live your life." The problem is my life consists of lifting more than 20 lbs and sitting 8+ hours in a day for work.
He caused me unnecessary pain for 7/8 months through mid-diagnosis of an error in his fusion of my spine. He recommended hip replacement to alleviate the pain in my hip and spine which did no good. Over about 7 months I visited his office 7 times complaining about high pain. Each time he said it was a hip problem, refusing to own up to a surgical error on his part. He didn’t recommend an MRI to locate the pain source. A pain MD had to do what Dr. Spann should have done. Very poor at listening.
Dr Spann is only available on Friday s the rest of the week he is doing surgery. I had arthroscopy on my knee March 22 and I am in worse pain 3 months later. He diagnosed me with a very rare PVNS and provided no relief except saying he would refer me to a radiologist. I went for a second opinion at AR Orthopedics and three doctors dismissed the PVNS theory. Did not even need the surgery . AND they charged me $25 for my own records! Then they bill incorrectly so what was paid for last year is
After a previous surgery, continued pain, progressive leg weakness and years of going to pain management I had lost hope of ever feeling good. I saw Dr Spann at the urging of a family member and the surgery he completed instantly relieved 10 years of leg pain! Wish I had found him sooner!!!
I had resigned myself to living with my painful back and resulting leg muscle soreness along with a numbing foot and lower leg. I couldn't walk or stand more than 15 minutes then I'd have to either bend from a standing or sitting position to relieve the nerve pressure and get the feeling back in my foot and leg. I heard about this amazing surgeon and from the moment I spoke to him the first time I knew he would work miracles on my back. L2-S1and released a nerve. No more numbing. Amazing results
I had a fusion of my lower lumbar. L4/L5 &L5/S1 with Dr. Spann almost exactly 3 months ago and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!! I am amazed and so thankful to him and his excellent team. I just wish I hadn't waited SO long... I was so scared after reading about the recovery time and pain-- but it actually was a breeze for me. NOT KIDDING.. All of my appts, surgery etc all went like clockwork. He was caring and personal too. Feel blessed and thankful to have found him. I HIGHLY recommend him-
