Dr. John Joseph Dusseau, MD

I WOULD PUT NEGATIVE STARS IF POSSIBLE, BUT HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY 67 YEAR OLD WIFE. ABOUT 2.5 YEARS AGO SHE HAD A FALL AND WAS PARTIALLY PARALYZED AND IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 3 DAYS,. WHEN SHE WAS READY TO LEAVE / DR DUSSEAU WANTED TO DO A PROTECTIVE SURGERY, AS HE SAID "I CAN DO IT IMMEDIATELY, I WILL PUT A CUSHION AROUND THE AFFECTED AREA", JUST STAY IN HOSPITAL AND YOU CAN MOST IMPORTANTLY PROTECT THE SPINAL CORD FROM NEW DAMAGE, HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM AND I WAS THERE. THE THING IS, HE DID NOT MENTION THERE WAS A FUSION OF C-3.4,&5. I AM 70 YEARS OLD MY WIFE AND I TAKE CARE OF AND HAVE CUSTODY OF OUR 10 YEAR OLD AUTISTIC GRAND DAUGHTER SINCE BIRTH. THROUGHOUT MY LIFE I COULD SEE DOING FUSION IF YOU COULD NOT WALK, OTHERWISE I HAD HEARD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH FUSION AND WOULD NEVER LET HER DO IT. I DON'T THINK HE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS TO HIS OWN FAMILY MEMBER. ANYWAY MY WIFE WAS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL / WE DID NOT DO THE SURGERY FOR 5-6 MONTHS, SHE HAD NO PAIN / WALKED / WAS… ACTIVE UNTIL HE DID THE SURGERY, I WISH I WOULD HAVE READ THE PERMISSION SLIP FOR THIS. MY WIFE DID NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE FUSION EITHER. SHE NOW HAS DEBILTATING LEVEL 8-10 PAIN IN HER FINGERS / CANT WALK PROPERLY, IS DIZZY, FAINTS, HAS AGED 10 YEARS. FYI WE BEGGED HIM TO HELP US , AFTER 6 MONTHS OF NOTHING, NOT A CALL, NOTHING. STAFF SAID GO TO PAIN MANAGEMENT. I AGREE - WHY WOULD HE ADMIT HE SCREWED UP. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN WAY MORE WARNING OF THIS POSSIBLE OUTCOME. I AM NOT PRETENDING TO BE A DOCTOR BUT THIS SURGERY CAUSED ALL OF HER CURRENT PROBLEMS. I LIVE IT EVERY DAY AND HAVE TO DO HER JOB AND MINE, I STILL WORK, I HAVE NO PENSION. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU.

Dr. Dusseau saved my life. He is wonderful, compassionate, knowledgeable and takes time to listen and explain. I am so lucky to have him as my Doctor.

Long wait but it is great to talk to you about the problem

Best surgeon,won't have anyone else,I been with back pain practically all my life,and this Dr. And God took care of my back I recommend him very highly,,'

Performed neck surgery - implanting disc replacement. I was back to work in a couple days. Almost no scar.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Dusseau. Not only did he save my sisters life by preforming emergency brain surgery, he did my back surgery that gave me my life back. He's a lovely person with amazing skill in the operating room

He is Awesome. His P.A. is awesome too. My experience from beginning to end was professional and a pleasant experience.

In the last 25 years I have had Dr. Dusseau successfully perform three separate spinal surgeries. I am so thankful that he got all three fixed perfectly. He is a fantastic doctor.

BEST Doctor and surgeon I have ever met....stayed with me in my room until my mother came back in....Just a wonderful talented man!! My neck has full range of motion now thanks to him!!

This man is most compassionate, takes his time with us and treats my husband, his patient with a lot of care. Thank you for the attention you gave us. Also the staff is a reflection of this man. All wonderful people.
