Don’t do it!!!

Since Mr. Adey operated on my cervical spine i am not close to the person I was. I am constantly dizzy, can’t play any sports, I have almost completely lost my hearing. Not being able to hear, with a heating aid, is a very lonely existence. Google hearing loss with cervical spine surgery and dizziness after cervical spine surgery. Think many times before having cervical spine surgery with any dr. I remember him telling me 2 times during pre operation appts. that his father was married to a woman 25 years younger than his father. As this information was ridiculous I wondered about how sharp this dr was and should have listened to my inner self and cancelled surgery.. This surgery from this man is the biggest mistake of my life. My entire family suffers because of my not being myself.

Lying piece of crap

This doctor talks a good game, but can not deliver. He performed surgery on my husband, told him he would not be able to work and refused to sign his disability paperwork. Almost a year after back surgery, he still has extreme pain at the incision site, and this doctor refuses to see him, stating he has done all he can. He lied to my husband and to me and should lose his license. How about fixing what you screwed up. Don't waste your time with this liar.

Excellent Neurosurgeon when no other surgeon would help me Dr. Adey was right there and did an outstanding job for me! I had an arachnoid cyst on my thoracic spine and was in a very difficult place and was unable to walk without assistance. He performed the surgery and I’m on my way to healing with rehab and I believe that he is the best Neurosurgeon in the world! Thanks for everything Dr. Adey and his wonderful staff. Betty Thomas

Four Stars

This Dr. Is an arrogant person.

As for follow up? Gives incorrect or no instructions to physical therapy follow up. I have had three physical issues that began immediately after surgery. Mr. Adey claims none of these issues could POSSIBLY be because of my surgery. Googling my surgery these possible side effects are mentioned. He loves to talk, but will not listen even long enough for you to complete a question. I would never recommend this person to anyone requiring neck surgery. Maybe my issues could have happened with another surgeon, but to completely blow me off and insist these sudden problems could have been caused by my surgery is ridiculous. I asked for a referral for one of the side effects, he refused to give it.
