He provides you with all the reassurance and confidence that you need in order to go through surgery. And what I love the most is that he tells you and explains to you everything that he is going to do prior and after. His team and him are very professional and I would recommend him to everyone. He is truly a miracle worker. He gave me my life back with no pain. Thank you so much !!!

This was my first visit with Dr. Robert Waldrop. I was very impressed with the friendly reception I received. Dr. Waldrop was very informative with me and explained what was wrong with my back/spine and what will need to be done to help me. I was happy with the straight forwardness I received.

Dr Waldrop was so relatable. He explained everything completely! He made me feel so comforted and cared for. His ability to explain the before, during, and after was so comforting.

He seemed much more caring and compassionate before he did my surgery than he did after my surgery at my 1-year follow-up but he's still pretty awesome and I would still recommend him

Review for Robert Waldrop There are not enough words to tell Dr Waldrop how I feel about his surgical skills. I have had chronic back pain for 5 years. I have been to some of the most highly recommended places/Neuro surgeons/spine clinics/ pain mgmt clinics in the valley and suffered through two previous back surgeries (one was total back reconstruction) I was unable to stand or walk without excruciating pain when another doctor suggested I go see Dr Waldrop for a second opinion. The first visit with him was like a breath of fresh air and when he went over the x rays showing what was wrong and then explained in detail what he could do to help me. Wish I had room to really tell it all, however,bottom line, the morning after surgery all that chronic pain I had suffered for years was gone. I am thanking God for getting me to Dr Waldrop. He is an amazing surgeon and a man of great character. Charlie Roberts
