Truly Life-Changing Care I’ve been a patient of Dr. Paragioudakis for many years, and I can say with confidence that he is one of the best spine surgeons anywhere. After several failed surgeries elsewhere, I was referred to him in 2015 — and the reconstructive spine surgery he performed completely changed my life. I was finally able to walk again without constant pain. Dr. Paragioudakis is not only incredibly skilled, but also compassionate, patient, and thorough. He listens, explains, and truly cares about his patients’ recovery and well-being. His surgical team is outstanding — professional, kind, and always supportive from start to finish. Because of Dr. Paragioudakis, I’ve regained independence and hope. I would recommend him and his team to anyone needing expert spine care. – Caroline Neff

Unfortunately, I have been riddled with back/spine issues for quite some time and have seen various pain specialists, chiropractors, PT, and surgeons over the years. However, no one comes close to Dr. Paragioudakis, in terms of his expertise, judgement, compassion and being surrounded by an incredible staff. I have referred several friends and family members to him and they all feel the same way I do.

Dr. Steve is the best!! He diagnosed me with hip issues, got those resolved with two hip replacements from Dr Chalnick and went back to Dr Steve for follow up on back. Going PT for strengthening my core to make it even better. Thank you for giving me my life back!!!
