My experience was pleasant, timely & professional. All my questions were answered & explained to me layman terms so that I understood exactly what my MRI findings were. I would definitely recomend this to all.

Check in was smooth, check out was smooth. Services were a bit slow but I was also late so they were juggling me with others and I understood that. Dr Francis' style and method were flawless. I have nothing but highest praise.

I was bucked off of a horse which left me with severe pain down my right arm. I had a previous cervical repair performed by a surgeon in Victoria that dis not heal. I fell in February of 2016 which increased my pain to a level that made me keep my right arm at my side and I had to use my left arm and hand to operate the mouse for my computer. October 12, 2016 was the day of delivery from my pain. I had 3 discs replaced in my cervical spine and I went back to work in a week (only 2 hours a day but I was still there). A month and a half after surgery I feel like I have my life back. Dr. Francis is wonderful and I would like to add that

Dr Francis was behind but he sees every patient personally and he gives each person as much time as is needed. I feel very safe with Dr. Francis.

I have had neck problems for years. I've had several chiropractors tell me that I had terrible spinal stenosis caused by osteoarthritis in my neck. I would get terrible cricks in my neck several times a year, where I could not turn my head and I suffered great pain. I was an avid equestrian. On October 17, 2010 a green-broke horse threw me into the panels of my round pen at home. When my husband heard the noise of me hitting the panel he found me face-down unconscious and not breathing. He gently rolled me over and held me in his lap on the ground until EMS arrived. In Bay City Texas the doctors did an MRI that showed I had fractured my C-2 vertebrae but they were just as worried about the arthritis damage in my neck. I was life flighted to Hermann Hospital in Houston where Dr. Rex Marco put me in a halo brace for four months. My C1 and C2 fused together, but he told us that eventually I would half to have next surgery to deal with arthritis damage in my neck. Since then I have experience numbness in tingling in both my arms and hands. I often awoke with both my arms completely numb. In March 2016 I started having severe pain in my neck. I huge not appeared. I went to my primary physician John niece PA who took x-rays of my neck. He said I was going to need surgery. The bone spurs and calcium deposits between my seat three and C6 would have to be cleaned out. My desk between C4 and C5 was bulging and putting undue pressure on my spinal cord. He immediately said he would not recommend any other doctor to perform the surgery but Dr. Richard Francis at SPINE ASSOCIATES in Houston. From the time husband and I entered the Spine Associates clinic we were treated with such friendliness and compassion. The staff there is very efficient. Dr. Francis before my surgery on April 27, 2016. He said all went well with no complications. I am now three weeks out of surgery and mending well. I had no numbness or tingling in my arms and hands. I would recommend Dr. Francis and his associates for any spine related surgeries. I was extremely impressed by the website and all of Dr. Francis' accomplishments in spinal surgery. Thank you, Spine Associates, for many more years of playing with my grandchildren.

Dr Francis was the second surgeon I considered and his diagnosis was far more complete and accurate. The procedure was far more extensive than the previous surgeon disclosed however the recovery time is 75% shorter than my first potential surgeon. I am very thankful to have been referred to Dr Francis

I would recommend Spine Associates because they offer professional advice, understanding and they are great at what they do. I appreciated the fact that my problem was solved and the positive attitude of Dr. Francis and his co-workers. Since having my back surgery, my daily life has improved immensely; I can perform all day to day actions pain-free.
