I have total, chronic, permanent pain after my neck surgery by 'dr' Knox. The pain is 100% worse than before the surgery. Dr Knox refuses to own up to botching the surgery. Dr Knox invented the materials used for the surgery, and put into my neck. Due to this surgery, I am disabled. He ruined my life. His ego is so big, I'm surprised he can fit through his office door.

The best neuro doc ever! I've dealt with him in one way or another for over twenty years, and he did surgery if necessary, and didn't if it wasn't. He was not a money grubber, it took me months to pay off one bill and I never got a collections notice.

I would give 0 stars if I could, he treated me like I was an idiot and he was above me. I have 5 herniated discs and 2stress fractured discs. He said he was afraid to do any kind of surgery and nothing in relief for pain. And he had a brand new high dollar machine that my insurance wouldn't pay for, after he found that out wanted nothing to do with me. I would not recommend my cat to go there.

I got great relief from Dr. Knox's guidance and avoided surgery. His physical therapy staff is the greatest!!

After having two surgeries with Dr.Knox, one for my back in 1991 and again on my neck in 1997 after a car wreck, there is no one I trust more with my care. Every doctors office has problems with calls, appointments, schedules, etc. I would trust him with my life if I ever had problems again

Personally he should study up on arachnoiditis and listen to other doctors when patients are being treated for arachnoiditis . How surgery could make it worse. I feel if you feel pain after his surgery he definitely thinks it's in your head. Other than that nice guy

It took me about three weeks to be seen by Dr. Knox. I saw his PA first (two days after my referral was received) and my MRI was ordered. They were both very nice. Dr. Knox spent about 30 minutes explaining my neck condition in detail. Great group of people!
