I would highly recommend Dr. Cummings. Relieving pain with a shorter recovery is his primary goal for patients.

He is the most dedicated doctor that I have had as a physician.

Dr. Cummings did two lower back surgeries with no success, then he wanted to do another, more evasive one. He milked my insurance and has stuck me with more bills than I can pay. I am filing a law suit. He should worry more about his patients than his $200,000 car he bought.

Very personable, yet also has a ego issue. During first visit all I heard was all the people he fixed that were told could not be fixed... He is very convincing at getting you to believe you need a surgery that you do not need and then when problems arise he will tell you did what he needed to do successfully and shows you the door. It has taken over a year to get my ability to semi function normally after being turned away from several doctors that did not want to fix what he messed up. I just hope nobody else e ER has to go through what I have because of this excellent salesman!

As others have previously stated, Dr. Cummings truly does care about his patients. When my family Dr first referred me to him I was seriously questioning how long I could live with the pain I was in. After surgery I feel I am almost back. I certainly don't wake up everyday in tears now and feel like a burden to people I love.

Dr. Cummings did a great job in the diagnosing of my problem. I needed a double si joint fusion. I've had three back surgeries that gave me only a short period of relief. I've been in pain over 35 years, been on lots of meds and have felt like a pin cusion for all the injections in my back. To top it off I've been to some of the best Doctors in Indy - until my Pain Management Dr Arbuck of Carmel wanted me to see Dr Cummings to see if he could help me. He could and he did. I had Surgery Aug.14th just a few weeks ago. He is now my HERO and my Guardian Angel. If you have the chance to see him. Go!!! If you are a Insurence Company and doubt this prcedure - don't it works. God Bless Dr.Cummings.

Dr. Cummings did Bilateral Ifuse on my SI joints. After being in a wheelchair for 12 yrs, I am walking, spending 2 hrs at a time in the gym and feeling 100% better. In a matter of months I went from wondering if life was worth it to having a great life once again. I can walk!
