The staff and Dr. Woods are very considerate, caring, patient and compassionate with you. You’re not just a patient here, you’re someone who needs relief of pain and suffering, and they make sure you’re taking care of. Best doctor and surgeon around! The staff is also very friendly and professional. They deserve 100 stars!!! Thank you so much! Misti

I heard a lot of good things about Dr Woods and read reviews here before having surgery. I had to have emergency surgery and was happy to know he came highly recommended. He is smart, professional, and yet very easy going, perhaps the most down-to-earth surgeon I’ve ever met. Wonderful experience and I feel very lucky I ended up in his gifted hands.

Doctor Woods did an excellent job with my surgery and I owe him a lot. He and his staff treated me very well. Neurosurgery is scary stuff and having a good doctor is everything. I highly recommend Dr Woods.

Had surgery several years ago for a bad disc at one level and started having problems again. Dr Woods performed similar surgery but this time at three levels and the incision was much smaller than my previous surgery and my recovery was much faster. He’s a great surgeon!

I have seen several surgeons over the years and this is one to see. I have not had very good experience with other surgeons but Dr Woods sets himself apart. My impression is that he is knowledgeable, competent yet down to earth. Not many neurosurgeons out there of his caliber. Highly recommended!
