After years of debilitating pain I have put Dr. Sudduth at the top of my list for favorites. He was my third Neurosurgeon in the past two years and the first to read what I wrote on new patient information to see where I was having the most pain. I am so Grateful to God that he worked a Miracle and I saw Dr. Sudduth.

Dr Sudduth explained my MRI in great detail. I was given a choice of a block or surgery. I like the fact that he didn’t go straight to surgery. I may have to have surgery later but want to try an alternative. Rachel his nurse was great as well! I would recommend this practice.

Dr. Sudduth was an exceptional Doctor. I had a myleogram on my back and he did not get in a hurry with me, but explained the problem and made a plan of action to help me. ask if we had any questions and was very patient and answered all of them. he seemed to be a most compassionate man. His nurse Rachel was equally as nice as were all his staff. I would recommend him to friends and family. very good experience for me and my wife.

I've never been treated so bad and unproffessionally by a doctor before.

I was shocked at the price ($450) of having the fluid drained from my knee. They should have told me before the procedure. I paid $250 for the appointment and no one informed me of the cost. I would rather be crippled for a month than in debt.

After looking at my x-rays he said surgery was required ASAP. My family doctor said I would probably require it 10-15 yrs down the road. I told him that and I was not going into surgery any time soon. He insisted he was right and raised his voice in protest. Told me to leave. I never went back. Nasty attitude if you disagree with him.

Suddeth complaint: I was verry dissatisfied with my visit..sudduth halfway listened to my complaint... I requested an MRI for my back... He said all I needed was therapy and didn't need an MRI.. Everyone else thought that didn't make since... Went to Spine Care Center and they requested an MRI which showed I had a bulging disc that was causing my pain... It was a waste of time going to sudduth... You would think after 4o yrs you would know a litte more as a physician...I should have read his reviews before I went..,
