SANAT DIXIT, MD - SPORTSMED ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY & SPINE CENTER REVIEWS
I was treated by Dr. Dixit for a C6/C7 herniated disc this past year. I had seen Dr. Dixit a few years ago for lower back issues (that did not require surgery). I opted for him again since he has such a positive demeanor and really takes the time to listen to your concerns as a patient. He definitely is not one to just jump into surgery as the only option and tries the most conservative options first. He initiated Physical Therapy and injections which worked for a few months, but I reinjured the disk 5 months later. The reinjury was causing me so much agony - when I called the office they were able to fit me in to see him that afternoon. Because conservative options were no longer an option, he suggested ACDF surgery and he was able to schedule it very quickly (the next week). The pain was completely gone after the surgery. Now I am three months out and feel fantastic! His team and staff were also helpful throughout the recovery process with the Sportsmed "Get Well" portal app. It was a very helpful tool for communicating with the doctor and his PAs during the post-op period. If you have any doubts or fears about ACDF surgery, I would say that a few days of post-op discomfort definitely outweigh the unpredictable and chronic pain of a herniated disc! I highly recommend Dr. Dixit as a surgeon and would definitely see him again if I have any recurring back/spine issues.
Dr. Dixit is by far one of the best doctors I have encountered in a long time. He was very high-spirited and friendly. He also reviewed what the nurse had provided and went a step further to retrieve more infomation instead of accepting what was given.
From procedure to physical therapy staff, a good experience. It has been 12 weeks since surgery (L5/S1 fusion). I am in no pain, I can function much better, with minimal post surgical issue. Only needed pain medicine for 1-1.5 weeks post procedure. Happy with my results.

JOHN D. JOHNSON, JR., MD - SPORTSMED ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY & SPINE CENTER REVIEWS
It was great. Dr Johnson and his whole team make you feel very comfortable. I had to have spine surgery, normally I would have been very nervous. I can honestly say I was not. He takes time explaining your situation then he asks if I had any questions. He answered my question and never once made you feel he was trying to rush. Through email his office checks on you everyday. I have never had another Dr office do this. I would highly recommend Dr Johnson and his team.
The entire staff all the way up to Dr. Johnson are beyond knowledgeable, trained and the best bedside manner ! I felt heard and we got the the main health issue immediately! Highly recommend!
Dr Johnson is a good surgeon. I have confidence in his work. He is kind and will take time to answer questions.

JOEL D. PICKETT, MD - SPINE & NEURO CENTER AT HUNTSVILLE HOSPITAL REVIEWS
There is a waiting period during regular appointments. This doctor is interested in complete knowledge of your problem and will spend the time with each patient to gain this information. Anyone that needs spinal surgery needs someone that is interested and capable of providing an excellent result. My Lamenectomy has completely removed the nerve pain I was living with.
Dr. Pickett performed a laminectomy at L4 to remove a tumor attack to the nerves in my spinal cord in 2011, I have not suffered hardly any pain and I'm forever grateful he accepted the challenge to remove the tumor, the pain of a spinal cord tumor is unimaginable to anyone who hasn't had one. Yeah you read that right, he removed a tumor in/on my spinal cord, I'm still amazed that he could do that and here I am eleven years later, walking pain free.
Dr. Pickett is to the point! Understand he has many patients and is an extremely proficient surgeon. If you don’t have time to wait go somewhere else!
