“Dr Bassewitz was very professional, reassuring, with a great bedside manner. He was able to break down the complex into a simple description to explain what was going on. His simple explanation- and the way he described the MRI results- help quell my fears. In the end, he didn't even want to do surgery, and he explained what would have to change if we were to progress. I highly recommend him, and as a local Chiropractor, I will now ONLY send my people to him for surgical evaluation.”

“ I went to see Dr Bassewitz because spinal stenosis in my neck resulting in nerve tingling in my right arm. He and his physician's assistant, Edmund, took time to run through the test results with me and the MRI and explained what the problem was and even though he is a spine surgeon he did not immediately recommend surgery. He had me do physical therapy for two months and a month of mechanical traction which helped a little but did not solve/stop the nerve tingling. They recommended I come back if the symptoms become intolerable. Both Dr. Bassewitz and Edmond are easy to talk with and made me comfortable with their handling of my issues. I highly recommend both of them to anyone requiring their specialization. ”

“Dr. Tingey is preforming my 4th surgery. I think it's absolutely amazing that with the amount of people he sees everyday he remembers me by name. And so does all the staff.

I tell everyone about his and all the wonderful help me and my family has received. Thank you so much Dr. Tingey for your kindness and amazing work.”

“Dr. Miao is awesome! He did a fabulous job on my recent shoulder surgery. Dr. Miao's "bedside manner" is second to none. He spent the time with me to explain my shoulder issue, what his plan was to correct the problem, and even called me himself the day following surgery to see how I was doing. You don't find that in many doctors these days, if any. So glad I had Dr. Miao!”
