I had a cervical lemectomy performed performed on me by Dr. Bands and was very pleased with the results. It was over 10 years ago and haven’t had any problems yet. He is very caring and explains everything well and doesn’ rush you. Never had to wait too long to be seen. Would highly recommend him.

Dr Bands and Frank are the best ever, my 80 yr old father had surgery recovered in no time, and then my husband was healed in 4 wks, then I have had 3 procures and couldn't have asked for better care, commitment and geniue devotion . Dr Roy Bands and his staff are truly unbelievable .

Thank you Dr. Bands. Had a great experience including the spinal surgery. He gave me my life back. His office is busy, but worth the wait.

I remember my first visit and Dr. Bands spoke to every person in the waiting room when he walked in the door in the morning. I think he is very personable and he will take time to explain your particular situation. Keep in mind he is a Surgeon and so I am sure he reserves the most precious time for those patients who are agreeing to surgery and I with that. Although I didn't make a decision to have surgery, he said if there was anything his office could do to please let him know. If I decide to have surgery, I feel confident in his abilities.

Excellent surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr. Bands to all of my family and friends. I had a laminectomy w/fusion L4-5 and was up walking the next day.

Thanks to Dr. Bands and his excellent staff I have my life back. After years of horrible neck pain and weakness in my arms, Dr. Bands performed a minimally invasive surgery that alleviated the symptoms immediately. Although his office was crowded at times, his staff was very nice and professional. I highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Bands tells you one thing and then at your next visit contradicts what he first told you. If you want to go the conservative route instead of surgery, then he doesn't even want to talk to you. He has no personality or bedside manners. If you are a woman beware, he makes comments like he is hitting on you.
