"I had suffered from back pain for years. The conventional methods of bed rest, pain medications (pills to patches), topical analgesics, ice, back exercise, physical therapy, epidural injections, and chiropractor were all unsuccessful to solve my problem. A friend recommended I consult with Dr. Elias Dagnew, since she had success with her back surgery.

After consulting with Dr. Dagnew, receiving a complete explanation of my lumbar films and MRI, he explained step by step how he would stabilize the lumbar spine, the down time for healing and instructions to follow. He was so logical and thorough in his briefing that I had no doubt he was the spinal surgeon to correct my lumbar subluxation. Dr. Dagnew is an excellent communicator, compassionate, professional surgeon, is very honest and will “tell you like it is”. He communicates well with patient and family. Post-operatively many of the nursing staff at the hospital said he was their choice for spinal surgery. His office staff was courteous, caring and professional and returned any calls or concerns you had whether great or small. Since surgery, I have had no pain and can continue my activities of daily living without any problems; thus my quality of life has improved 100%. The surgery experience was excellent, I took only one pain pill after surgery. Waling the hospital halls proved to be the best relaxation of my muscles and strengthened the back. The scar was minimal and “WOW, who says surgery can’t be painless”. The Atlanta area needed Dr. Dagnew way before his arrival here. I would definitely recommend Dr. Dagnew for my family, friends, or anyone who needs a spinal surgeon. If you are a future patient and would like to talk to someone who knows from experience, I’ll be glad to speak with you, just contact Georgia Brain & Spine Center.
Thank you again Dr. Dagnew for giving me back my quality of life.
Sincerely,"
