Benjamin Ling, MD - INLAND NEUROSURGERY & SPINE ASSOCIATES

Dr. Ling came highly recommended to me by a family I trust whose son has been cared for by Dr. Ling since a baby when they found a brain tumor. I had a neck injury from a car accident in early 2013, along with a shoulder injury. Had the shoulder surgery first, in April of 2014. Then Dr. Ling fixed my neck, or at least the portion the insurance company would authorize! I arrived at Sacred Heart Hospital the morning of September 10, 2014 for my surgery and was severely anxious, which turned into a full blown panic attack. While I had an IV hooked up, no one was doing anything for my severe anxiety. By the time Dr. Ling arrived I was in bad shape. Not proud of how I acted, but I was scared. He took charge, ordered the anesthesiaologist to immediately give me something, scolded all of them actually for allowing me to get this way. The next thing I remember was waking up with the pain in my neck and arm gone! I have never recovered from surgery this quickly or had this good of a result ever. I will soon need more neck surgery, the part the insurance company wouldn't authorize 7 years ago and that Dr. Ling warned them I needed. I would not trust anyone to work on my neck but Dr. Ling. I doubt I will be as anxious this time either. I now know what a great doctor he is. I am grateful for his skill and dedication as a doctor.

He is exceptionally warm and kind. His PA that works with him, Claudia Ramn, is equally as kind. I fully appreciate their care and concern. I would recommend them both. Dr. Ling is an excellent surgeon. He did spinal fusion and an additional surgery on my back. The healing has gone very well.

He saved my life. I had a large mass growing on the top of my spine instead my scull, he carefully removed it and left no debilitating side effects.
