"Dr. Dagnew was a beacon of light during my husband, Mike’s, lower back pain. Mike had been in pain for many months and it continued to worsen even when he tried various other therapies.

Mike had tried physical therapy, traction, steroid shots, and chiropractic care all to no avail. He was living through pain by using pain medicine. We went to see Dr. Dagnew after a co-worker of mine recommended him because he “fixed her when no one else thought she was broken”. Immediately upon meeting Dr. Dagnew both Mike and I felt at ease. It was evident that he is passionate about the health and care of his patients. Dr. Dagnew also guided and empowered us to do research on Mike’s condition, degenerated spine, herniated discs, and narrowing of the spine, which helped us feel more comfortable with what would be happening to Mike. Dr. Dagnew recommended spinal decompression and fusion with rods and pins. The surgery was very intense. During the surgery I felt at peace. Dr. Dagnew’s surgical nurse called me every hour to update me of the progress. I knew Dr. Dagnew would be thorough and methodical. Mike woke up from his surgery pain-free for the first time in over 6 months. Under Dr. Dagnew’s care, Mike has healed and reclaimed his life. He was able to return to full time work 8 weeks after surgery, 4 weeks ahead of schedule. In conclusion, we always felt we were in the most capable hands. Dr. Dagnew gave us knowledge, peace and care- something few doctors can seem to find the right mix of to make patients feel they are being supported during some of the most difficult times of their lives. Thank you. "
