NO PAIN! I have had 2 surgeries from Dr Haydel over a year apart. . 2 herniated disc in my lower back repaired with a disc ectomy and laminectomy…and 2 herniated disc in my cervical spine along with numerous bone spurs, where he put cadaver bone with plates and screws. After both surgeries I had no pain! I did not have to take the pain meds at all. Between the prayers of many saints of God and Dr Haydel incredible skill I am getting my life back. Dr Haydel really cares and explains everything until you have no more questions at all…he answers questions that you had not even thought about. If you are on the fence about which surgeon to trust your health and wellness to..look no further…you have found the best! Blessings!

Thank you for your kind words. Our staff's knowledge, compassion, and expertise are what make us a trusted healthcare provider. Have a great day!

I was to have surgery but mr Haydel took the time to explain to me the danger in this where it was located at it was dangerous. Most doctors would have just done it with no explanation.. but he don’t.. his 💯 in my book.. but with the help of the lord and medicine I will get through this..Thanks Doc

Dr. Haydel did a great job discussing options, making me feel informed on what he was doing, and 6 weeks later clearly an amazing job in surgery. For the first time in 7 months I'm completely pain free and feel as if my pretty severe disc herniation never happened. Have even resumed my previous workout routine with no complications.

Our Response:
That's exactly what we like to hear! Creating positive outcomes for our patients is central to everything we do. Thank you for your glowing review.

Doc Haydel was a pleasant experience. Enjoyed talking with him about my situation and I left feeling better mentally/emotionally than when I walked in.

Our Response:
It's good to hear about your positive experience with us. We work hard to make sure our patients receive the best quality of care. Thank you for choosing us!

I really like Dr. Haydel because he spent a lot of time listening to my concerns and answering all my questions. He is very comforting and an all around really nice person. I also like that he wants to try other avenues of treatment before resorting to surgery - I think it adds to his credibility. I would highly recommend him!

October 2022

Very good . Willing to investigate and get to the root of .my problem. Very capable and knowledgeable.

Our Response:
Thank you so much for this five-star review! We are thrilled to see we provided you with top-notch care.

We clicked instantly, he chose to be a neurosurgeon over a musician so yea smart man. He knew who Victor Wooten was so another plus, but most of all his experience and ability to explain the process most.
