Dr. Eastlack was excellent in thoroughly answering critical questions about the operation, post operation, recovery, and rehabilitation. He gave us high confidence in his experiences plus his recommendations by top doctors and friends in San Diego County. We have scheduled the surgery as a result.

Yes, he is kind and he takes time to listen, but most importantly he knows what he is doing. I have had many spinal surgeries with Dr. Eastlack. I would never trust my back to anyone else.

Dr. Eastlack helped me heal, however his office staff is the worst. They don't return phone calls. They move your appointments and don't tell you. I can't recommend him based on his office staff.

Dr. Eastlack has been my physician for over a year. I have had unusual presentations orthopedically and neurologically. He is very direct which I appreciate. He spends a lot of time with me at office visits. I feel he is a gifted surgeon, amazing doctor and compassionate human being. I had a successful lumbar fusion after 5 months of suffering. He continues to try and help me with complications from a previous surgery which he did not perform. I have seen a plenty of physicians and Dr. Eastlack is the best!
