Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Dr. Dagnew performed the surgery on my 72 year old mother around March 2020. She was in extreme pain going into the pandemic and I was not sure how long she would have to wait. I believe there was a delay, but it was minimal considering how unprecedented the brand new pandemic was. It is now 2 years later and was able to return to normal after a reasonable amount of recovery. Scarring was minimal and no side effects. She is back to visiting the pool and light housework and I believe he extended her life because she can do what she enjoys again. We highly recommend Dr. Dagnew if you need to have back surgery.

Dr Dagnew and the Concussion Department are amazing. They are extremely responsive and so very friendly. The staff and the Dr overall are very caring individuals, I appreciate the practice's attention to detail and the priority they place on the patient experience. I highly recommend Georgia Brain & Spine for great service and excellent customer support.

Came here for a 2 level disc replacement in my neck. Dagnew is very thorough! He has great bedside manners, listens to his patients, and has great nurses who go above and beyond!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Doctors been spot on on all my issues. The only bad thing is he's popular because he's a very good doctor. If you have a back issue this is the man to see he cares and he takes care of you pretty quick. I would recommend them to anyone I've been to several doctors over my Past 25 years because of back issues and I would say he is rated at the very top of all the doctors I have seen
