Neurosurgeon - Bradenton, FL

"I ended up here because I was checking that my new insurance option will include Dr. King. I was really worried it wouldn't, and while he's still practicing, I don't want to see anybody else. I had a ruptured disc and almost constant muscle spasms. I wanted to die. The surgeon I originally went to see made me incredibly uncomfortable and acted inappropriately, so on a recommendation, I made the switch to Dr. King, and couldn't have lucked out more. My C6-C7 spinal fusion went off without a hitch. I had very little pain after the surgery, and almost didn't need any pills. I was even able to swallow, and my voice was intact. Under the bandage, the stitching job was top-notch. I followed his instructions exactly and didn't bend over for a month. Within two weeks of surgery, I was walking over a mile almost daily. I was very eager to return to work, so I asked Dr. King for permission to return early, and after assessing my condition, he said I was looking great and could return when I felt ready, as long as I was careful with myself. I was back to work about a week later, just to be on the safe side, and everyone was amazed. Within a month, I was back to my 4-6 miles every day, and with very little stiffness in my neck. Here I am, almost a year later, and I barely get stiff at all. I feel normal again, thanks to this man, and I can enjoy my life again. The only real difference in my life is when I hold a phone for too long, and I avoid heavy lifting. It's an incredibly small price to pay for having my life back. After the fact, talking to people who noticed my scar, I've heard many people say good things about Dr. King, and I wouldn't want to see anyone else if I could at all help it."
