My team was VERY good at explaining the procedure. However, they did very poorly communicating my care after surgery and the fact that they had decided to change and cut down my pain medication after surgery when I needed pain management the most. They had no explanation for cutting my regular pain meds out.

Dr. Mcevoy is very knowledgeable; gives very good, straightforward explanations of my condition, MRI images, and her recommended course of action (spinal decompression surgery); and she listens to and answers my questions. Let me add that the foregoing is also true for all the doctors and nurses at the Clinical Neurosciences Center that are helping me through this ordeal: Dr. Mark Bromberg, Dr. Erica Bisson, and Nurse Clark Fredrickson. I have the utmost faith in all of them and I believe that they are giving me the best care available. I would recommend all of them and the Center to others.

Sarah McEvoy is amazing! We are dealing with a delaying of my surgery due to Covid and she was very understanding and helpful.

Sarah provided good feedback to my physical questions. However, I would like health care professionals to question how an injury affects overall physical and mental health. A prior online questionnaire asked a few questions relating to this area but no room for a response. Questionnaire responses do not replace time and concern provided by a one on one visit with my doctor/PA. I feel they are always pushed for time and anxious to move on to the next patient.

Sarah McEvoy was very knowledgeable and was able to explain everything to me in detail that I was able to understand. She answered all of my questions. She left, then came back with Dr. Bisson, who also joined in the discussion as we made plans together for future treatment options. They even consulted with their radiologist and reported back to me about their conversation. I was very satisfied with my treatment. I could not have been treated better. It was an absolutely positive experience.
