Dr. Timothy Putty, MD

Dr. Putty is the most remarkable neurological surgeon! I went though two years of pain and suffering. Unbelievable how I feel and a whole new outlook on life. Thank you so much Dr.Putty

Seeing Dr. Putty is a great comfort. What a great Dr. From all the test results to treatment he went over every aspect of care. Dr. Putty told me what to expect and he was totally correct. I wouldn't choose another Neurologist other than this one. His office staff is great as well.

Dr. Putty is very personable and made me feel very comfortable knowing he would be doing my surgery. He went to speak with my daughter after my surgery to let her know how everything went. Because I had Extreme nausea after the procedure I was kept over night. He was in promptly at 8 a.m. to see how I was doing and to sign my release papers. I was really against him prescribing any narcotics after surgery.....but I'm so glad I finally listened to him and got the Vicodin....by the 3rd day the pain was extreme., and I really need something stronger than Tylenol. I highly recommend Dr. Putty to anyone in need of spinal surgery. Thank you Dr. Putty for fixing a problem I've been suffering with for 8 mo.

Doc it's been almost 20 years since my surgery been pain free all this yearsð???

Awesome person and doctor.

Great results!!! All leg pain eradicated on day one L4-5 fusion post op. Only one night stay in hospital. Minimal post-surgical soreness thanks to muscle-sparing technique. After 2 weeks I was driving and doing exercises. Third week I began gym workouts and daily swimming. Rebuilding my leg and core weakness was my only challenge. I waited until 3 months to resume competitive sports, carefully, but without a problem. Few if any docs in NY can compare to Dr. Putty. I know this from mine and others' experiences.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO AND THATS WHEN I FIRST MET DR. PUDDY AT NORTHWEST HOSPITAL. HE IS VERY KIND, GENTLE AND CARING. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT HIS OFFICE WHICH IS VERY CLEAN AND MOST OF ALL HE TOOK TIME WITH ME. A LOT OF DOCTORS HURRY UP AND SHOVE YOU OUT BUT NOT DR. PUDDY. IM CURRENTLY GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY WHICH HE ORDERED AND IF THAT DOESNT WORK I WILL HAVE TO HAVE BODY CEMENT PUT IN MY FRACTURED L4. IM VERY CONFIDENT IN HIM AND HAVE DONE CHECKING ON HIM AND FOUND NOTHING BAD. MY ATTORNEY EVEN KNOWS OF HIM AND HE SAID I COULDNT BE IN BETTER HANDS. SO IF YOUR IN NEED OF HIS SERVICES GO DONT HESITATE. YOU WILL GET THE RED CARPET TREATMENT. HIS ASSISTANT COLLEEN WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR APPOINTMENTS IN A TIMELY FASHION. I ADMIT I WAS DRAGGING MY FEET ABOUT THE BODY CEMENT BUT NOW IM NOT AND I FEEL FULLY CONFIDENT. SO IF YOUR IN NEED PLEASE GO. YOU WONT BE SORRY.

My husband had a laminectomy 3 years ago and that was very helpful. However, his degeneration of his back continued and pain and atrophy progressed. He recently had a spinal fusion which required 4 hours of surgery and was released from the hospital in 24 hours. He is pain free for the first time in many years. First rate surgeon.

I work in clinical research and have interactions with physicians and research site staff on a regular basis. As a patient, my experience with Dr. Putty, Colleen, Dr. Ritter-Baker and the entire staff of Northwest Neuro has been a model of effective, caring and efficient treatment. As luck would have it, my particular case has been a bit complex. Yet, every time I turn to Dr. Putty and his staff, Iâ??m met with nothing but encouragement and a keen desire to resolve my issues both in the short and long term. I regularly refer friends, colleagues and others to Dr. Putty if they are having back problems and may be considering surgical intervention. I hope you never need back surgery, but if you do, I cannot recommend Dr. Putty highly enough.

Dr. Putty has given me back my life. After suffering with back issues for over 15 years, I finally gave in to the idea of surgery. I feel so good now that I wish I had made the decision earlier. Dr. Putty was able to see me quickly, took the time to explain the surgery procedure beforehand, and skillfully performed L3-4 and L4-5 laminectomies with a L3-4 discectomy on a herniated disk. I highly recommend this surgeon and his support staff!
