After years of neck pain and seeing several neurosurgeons, I was so fortunate to see Dr. Michael. He recently performed an ACDF 6 weeks ago, I am already feeling much better. I highly recommend this surgeon. He has an excellent bedside manner, is very personable, and knowledgeable.

I had a declining ability to walk & feel sensation in my right foot. After realizing it was getting worse every month, my regular physician ordered an MRI and based on the results suggested I see Dr. Christopher Michael for a professional evaluation. Dr. Michael and his PA (Marissa Shiller) took my medical history and had a series of X-Rays taken to confirm the issue. It was a classic narrowing of the channels in my lower back due to arthritis and my nerves were being pinched more & more. Several rounds of Physical Therapy were prescribed during which it was discovered my left leg was slightly shorter than my right. The PT & a shoe height change resolved the asymmetry of my right leg versus left leg and gradually moved the loss of sensation back up my leg and into my lower back. Dr. Michael reviewed the results of PT after several months and we mutually arrived at a minimally invasive procedure to clear out bone fragments and enlarge the channels in my lower vertebrae.The surgery was conducted on Feb 13th at Baylor Medical - Uptown. The whole process was seamless, painless, and very professional. All parties treated me with respect & professionalism.I am now in recovery and have slight restrictions on my movement and exercise out of an abundance of caution. My loss of feeling is resolved and I am walking daily while getting stronger & stronger.Dr. Michael, Marissa, and his entire team have been excellent. I am receiving the best care and know that this summer will see me back to hiking and exploring the outdoors like a man much younger than my 72 years.

I've had surgery for lumbar and cervical issues. Both were performed by Dr. Michael. The process from start to finish was thorough and excellent experiences. Surgery is always the last option and Dr. Michael insures all avenues are explored and verified before surgery is required. If you want the best care, go see Dr. Michael and his team.

Dr. michael was easy to talk to & explained everything to me in a way I could understand. After visiting 2 other Drs before him, I learned more about my problem than any other Doctor. I strongly recommend him.The staff was also very accommodating & caring
