All the staff are very helpful and friendly. The radiology staff, especially Kathy and Yesenia, are wonderful. I’ve only just met Dr. Francis and have only been seen by him once, but he really impressed me and my husband and I feel like he is going to do what needs to be done as far as finding what’s causing my back pain.
After meeting with Dr. Francis for the first time, my husband and I had no doubt that we had found the right spine surgeon. He truly cares for his patients and has their best interest in mind at all times. He is the best and my husband and I highly recommend him.
I would recommend Spine Associates because they offer professional advice, understanding and they are great at what they do. I appreciated the fact that my problem was solved and the positive attitude of Dr. Francis and his co-workers. Since having my back surgery, my daily life has improved immensely; I can perform all day to day actions pain-free.
Dr. Francis is an excellent and caring doctor. You couldn’t ask for a better doctor or person. His staff is very caring. Our family couldn’t thank them (Dr. Francis and staff) enough for what they have done. Words can’t express how grateful we are to Dr. Francis’s care.
Dr. Francis gave me my life back. I suffered with back pain for a few years and was once operated on by a different surgeon but the pain did not go away. I understand now how true the words are: “You are happy as long as you do not feel pain.” Thank you, Dr. Francis, for making me feel happy again.
Our mission is to get you back to enjoying precious moments
