"I had been “stuck” in a sea of doctors with opinions about what they wanted to do for me. No one seemed to care what I thought. I had a serious work place injury and had been dealing with Worker’s Compensation.

My interventional pain doctor had installed a neuro-modulator to control my pain. When it malfunctioned, he referred me to Dr. Dagnew. Dr. Dagnew listened, examined, suggested possible treatments and ordered some tests. From there it was only good! When I left his office, I knew I had found a new friend and doctor. He attempted to change my neuro-modulator but was unable due to scarring from the first surgery. I remember how upset he was that he couldn’t ‘fix me’. The disappointment on his face is burned in my memory. It reinforced my feeling that this doctor wanted only what was best for me and he would keep working with me to achieve what he could. I did have another surgery to open up the space for my nerves and rid me of the pressure that had been pressing on my nerves. I have since called him to ask his advice about a foot injury because I respect his opinion as a doctor and a friend. He gave me a fair, balanced opinion. I wish no medical problem on anyone BUT if a neurosurgeon is needed, I hope their doctor knows Dr. Dagnew at Georgia Brain & Spine and sends his patient to him. They are professional, friendly, concerned and available. You feel cared for when you deal with Dr. Dagnew and his staff. I am truly a believer and have no problem sharing with others how highly I regard MY NEUROSURGEON."
