Dr. Joseph Edward Snavely, MD

Excellent Dr and Surgeon. I’m completely satisfied and I highly recommend.

I recently had ACDF surgery performed by Joseph Snavely, and I could not be more grateful for the care I received. From the very beginning, Dr. Snavely was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He took the time to explain the procedure clearly, answer all of my questions, and make me feel comfortable and confident about the surgery. My surgery went very well, and I am extremely pleased with the results. Dr. Snavely’s skill and expertise as a spine and scoliosis specialist truly showed throughout the entire process. His staff was also kind, attentive, and supportive during my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Snavely to anyone needing spine or scoliosis treatment. I appreciate the excellent care he provided and the positive difference he has made in my life. — Jackie Wakefield

I had spine surgery on 2/26/26 for sciatica pain. Dr Snavely was knowledgeable, compassionate & caring. He understood my problem. His team & staff were helpful, skilled & friendly. I came home the same day as surgery with no pain. I slept good for the 1st time in 5 months. My incision was small & recovery minimal. Thank you Dr Snavely!

This surgeon is genuine and sincerely cares about his patients. He clearly explains what to expect before, during and after surgery. I had a successful surgery and am happy with the results. The entire staff: especially Barbie his receptionist who always has a friendly smile and welcome; and his medical assistant Stephanie sincerely listens and is truly concerned about your needs.

I had 3 other previous surgeries and was still in constant pain. I could not stand too long or walk any distance. I was referred to see DR. Snavely, who performed surgery that rebuilt my spine. My recovery was quick with minimal medication. Within a week after surgery, I was up walking on my own and able to do distance walking that I could not do before. He was very thorough in explaining what he was going to do in surgery so I knew what to expect. He exceeded all my expectations with my quick recovery and ability to be more mobile. He is easy to talk to and listens to what you have to say. He is an outstanding surgeon that I highly recommend.

I had surgery scheduled for January however in early November I woke up and couldn’t walk. I was taken to the er by my wife and I had them contact Dr Snavely. The next day he operated on my L-5 and S1 this being my fourth fusion. I had severe pain down both legs and lower back pain prior to surgery the surgery was very successful and I have no numbness or pain in the legs. Prior to surgery Dr Snavely came into the room and prayed with my wife and I for a good outcome. Doctor Snavely is a gifted surgeon who cares about his patients and their families his medical assistant Stephanie is very attentive and helpful with any problems after the surgery including with insurance companies. I am thankful to doctor Snavely for giving me the ability to walk again I will recommend doctor Snavely to anybody needing surgery.

After being in serve pain in lower back I feel I a new life even during my current recovery. Dr Snavely kept his promised to take care of me as I was terrified and he was very attentive. I really don't feel much pain from incision area as I feel pain from my hips that need to be replaced. God gave him the talent to operate to fix old hardware plus add knew at the L4, L5, S1...recovery is great. He made sure I got a home nurse and PT plus I was well taken care in the hospital. Stephanie is awesome as well and easily to contact for any issues. His whole staff are instinct and they are there for the patient. I like the fact if you don't need surgery he will not do it but use other alternatives. I highly recommend Dr Snavely to anyone! Thank you for my new life!

Dr. Snavely listened carefully, reviewed my MRI thoroughly, and gave me an accurate diagnosis after months of pain. I was able to get surgery quickly, and I woke up completely relieved of the pain I'd had for five months. I’m very grateful for his skill and care.

Dr. Snavely and his staff are the absolute best! If you want a knowledgeable doctor with a great personality and matching bedside manner look no further! Dr. Snavely and Stephanie, his MA, are there for you from your first appointment through your post op answering every question you may have.

Dr. Snavely is courteous and professional. His expertise is above reproach. He answers all questions directly and politely. I will not have another neurosurgeon and only Dr. Snavely.
