Dr. Loubert Steven Suddaby, MD

Did not do what was promised. He told my wife after he did the surgery that her back and leg pain would be gone. After 4 days in ECMC she was released and now a week later her pain is 10X worse, We went back there today and he prescribed more meds and wants more x rays and a cat scan. She has cried the last 4 nights from unbearable pain. In the mean time as she suffers terrible pain the healthcare system collects thousands for total lack of satisfaction to her. She may have to have another surgery on top of this one. We don't live in the area so there is a lot of extra expenses like hotels, meals, gas, and time off of work. This is all based upon total incompetence by the Dr.

He was an excellent doctor to me he was awesome in everything he done when he explained everything to you he made sure you understood them

I will NEVER recommend this Doctor, the Spinal Stimulator or ABBOTT. I BEGGED for it to be removed and they made me wait nine weeks to get it out.Suddaby said I just put them in and take them out,nice motto. Felt like I was in child labor for those nine weeks. I never had upper back pain until that stupid stimulator and how it was put in. I now have nerves that burn all the time.If you know what a bad toothache feels like, that is me everyday now. It's been a bit over a year since removal and everyday sucks.No human compassion what so ever.

Dr. Suddaby did a great job on my back. Don’t have the nagging leg pain anymore. I would trust him to do surgery on my back again. He’s very nice and straight forward.

This quack did my girlfriends spine surgery. He is the worst surgeon I’ve ever seen!! When she came out of surgery she was made to lay there in agony because he didn’t have any pain meds ordered for when she woke up. After surgery she lost 70 pounds and this guy couldn’t of cared less. He told her multiple times to go get into a methadone clinic implying she is a drug addict. On her last visit Dr Suddaby dropped her with absolutely no explanation. Something is not right in her spine now because of his sub par work yet he tells her nothing is wrong. Do not use this guy!!!! He is the worst most uncompationate Dr I have ever seen.

I was sent to Dr Suddaby after my pain management doctor had already ordered the right tests and made the diagnosis of a ruptured cervicle disc with possible bone fragments so I saw him just as a surgeon and was completely satisfied. My PM doc, Carstens, called him on Thursday afternoon, trying to get me in ASAP so Monday morning, I saw Suddaby, he understood the severity of the issue and explained to me why I needed to go straight home, don't do much because any jarring could work bone free and pierce the spinal cord. He wanted to do surgery Weds but had to wait a week so I could get off my heart meds first. His office made all necessary appts, got all lab work and exrays ordered, and the following week, I was in surgery. I only saw him for a few moments before surgery, mostly dealt with his assistant, the aneshesiologist and nurses, and don't remember him at all after surgery, though my family does. Reading his surgical reports afterwards was fascinating, seeing what he… did. I was aware of the severity of the issue but reading it, just hammered it home. I went back to his office a week after surgery for them to make sure everything was okay, then should have gone back a month later for an xray and follow-up, but I didn't. (That's on me, I should have. You have to follow doctor's orders or you cannot complain about it after.) Everyone at his office has been wonderful. If anyone was curt or abrupt, I'd put it down to the stress and pressure of the job and nothing more. For those patients complaining about treatment, I'd ask you to remember that too-and that your own pain might be clouding your judgement a little. As a one time medical professional myself, I recommend this doctor and his office highly and would send my family and friends there.

I have Never been treated so degrated, uncaring, no compassion and only came to see me once in the hospital after my spinal canel was punctured. He said I deserved the pain I was going thru because I was a smoker for a long period of time and only prescribed Motrin for 10+ pain after surgery. It was a nightmare. I begged to go home. Then had 6 painful leaks to be drained. I am still in pain but his lack of compassion has scared for life. Please take my advice and stay away from this butcher. I wouldn't take my dog to see him.

I've been a patient of Dr Loubert Suddaby since 2008. When I first went to Dr Suddaby I was in so much pain I could barely walk and I couldn't get out of bed. Dr Suddaby has done miracles for me. I've had a total of 3 neck surgeries, 4 lumbar surgeries, carpal tunnel surgery and he has freed up the main nerve in my left elbow. Since my surgeries I can walk to the local store with a cane. I would like to thank Dr Suddaby for all he has done for me. I tell everyone I can that if the need a Neuro-Surgeon they need to go see Dr Suddaby, because he does amazing work.

Dr. Suddaby is incredible. absolute trust in him and his staff.

I am glad you are on your way to recovery. However I am one of the cases with Dr, Suddaby that he treated like an idiot after I have my surgery with him. He performed an unnecessary surgery and then after was in more pain and he did NOTHING for months. He said pain management. I went to a second surgeon and within an hour he saw that the disc Dr, Suddaby did surgery on was collapsed and I was walking around with bone on bone. Now after my second surgery I am ten times better. So happy camper there is a reason they are going after him, and I am one of them.
