Dr Nora and his were outstanding. Thanks so much for getting me in weeks before my original appointment. I have left my primary care doctor at Swedish because she didn't listen to my issues or take them seriously, but overall Swedish offers excellent care.

This one appointment has been a life changer. Everyone else that I had seen up until this appointment was contradicting the other doctor. Confusing me and causing so much unnecessary stress anxiety & pain causing me to fear that I had a major Medical condition Multiple Sclerosis & giving me this information & DX very prematurely I know now. For 6 month no one was providing any answers to what was happening to me. Until seeing Doctor Nora! This is the only place that I would ever recommend to anyone.

Dr. Nora completed a three level cerivical fusion for me a few years back. I am in very good shape now. I saw him this time for a lower three level problem. He explained it completely, how the nerves were working in that area and the positions I could try for relief of pain. This is so helpful in my management of complex spine problems. I appreciate his team and his consultation.

I spoke with Dr Nora about spinal surgery. I have a chronic back condition. We talked about surgery, recovery, limitations and complications. I have a lot to think about but he answered my questions
