STEPHEN SHOGAN, MD REVIEWS

My experience with Dr. Shogan and his PA was amazing. Everytime you walk in, you are welcomed by amazing staff that work the front desk. Then I met his PA, who always brought a smile to my face. She is amazing, smart and very funny. Then I got to met Dr. shogan , who gave me every option I could take which did not include surgery. After meeting everyone on the first doctor’s visit, I felt incredibly safe and never had a single worry about surgery or anything after surgery. Overall , I give Dr. Shogan and the staff: a 5/5 , 10/10, 100/100. Thank you very much. My life is a lot better now. I sleep better, I can feel my fingers, I have no pain , but most importantly, I am happier. Thank you again! Happy holidays.

This is a caring and highly skilled practice. I have felt welcome and in capable hands throughout my six year association with Dr Shogan, Becky, and Bonnie. They helped me choose the best treatment plan, performed a complicated surgery when indicated, and have provided follow-up care since. I highly recommend Dr Shogan and team.

Would highly recommend Dr. Shogun and his entire staff. I have been dealing with L-4 L-5 back pain and feel very comfortable with his treatment and advice.

GIANCARLO BAROLAT-ROMANA, MD REVIEWS

From the moment I got to Dr Barolat’s office I could tell it was going to be a positive experience. His front desk was kind and courteous. Dr Barolot was prompt and friendly. He was extremely kind and thorough. He spent an hour with me and my husband asking us both all kinds of questions regarding my health and the impact my health has had on our lives. He examined me, which many other doctors rush through or don’t do at all. He explained clearly all of the details of the new procedure we were considering. He really LISTENED. I felt very comfortable and safe with him. My husband and I walked out amazed at the high level of care and information and time that he provided. I think he’s an outstanding doctor and person.

Dr Barolat is amazing, not only did he relieve my pain with a spinal cord stimulator, he also has helped me with Dr referrals and consultations with my surgeon, all because he genuinely wants to help. He is trustworthy with his recommendations. Dr Barolat always takes my calls and will call me back after talking with my other doctors. In my opinion, he is the best!.

Dr Barolat and his staff are wonderful and welcoming and Dr. Barolot is a top surgeon in neurosurgery. He helped to get rid of my head pain that I’ve had for over six years. He is the most compassionate doctor I’ve ever met, he went over and above with mycare. I really enjoyed speaking with him, and I truly value his help. I Highly recommend this doctor.

ZAIN ALLISON, MD, FAANS REVIEWS

Dr. Allison and his team are absolutely incredible, over the past seven months they have been amazing support for my family. They have always been honest, detailed passionate and supportive of my family, Dr. Allison performed two incredibly difficult surgeries on my father and took extensive amounts of time that I’m sure he didn’t have to explain things to us and look into dads MRI scans etc even when dad was at hospitals not associated with Dr Allison and his team. Please keep doing what you all somehow do day in and out, if only you guys knew how much it meant to us.

Dr. Allison just did a spinal fusion surgery for me. I found him to be very informative, open, etc. His team has also been very helpful and they've done a really good job of answering my questions etc.

Dr Allision is an amazing dr. He is caring and take the time to listen to your concerns. He isn't is a rush to move on to the next person like number. He is amazing and down to earth. Also an awesome surgeon.
