I visited Dr. McGivney as a referral for DDD, spinal stenosis as well as other issues. The needed procedure was a multi level disc fusion as well as repairing facet joints. Dr. McGivney did not waste his time making promises of a positive outcome. Instead Dr. McGivney used his blessed hands and has completely changed my life. The surgery was done at Rush Copley with a three day hospital stay. Prior to the surgery I was up to (6) 7.5 mg. hydrocodone a day as well as gabapentin. The first couple of days were rough but a week after the surgery I am down to one 10 mg hydrocodone and somedays I break that in two. My orthopedist had warned me that Dr. McGivney was very straight forward and a great surgeon and he was 100% correct. Don't listen to anyone who says otherwise he and his team are great. Try them and you will see for yourself!

Dr. McGivney was awesome! I read these reviews before my appointment and I was highly concerned that these bad reviews were true but this was not the case. Dr. McGiveny was soooooo nice to me today! He listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. What I appreciate about him the most was that he was open and honest! I'm so glad I didn't let these reviews scare me away. I would definitely recommend going to see him!
