SUCCESS STORIES

I originally saw Dr. Possley as a 3rd opinion….trying to avoid major back surgery. I’d received a couple of injections previously but they didn’t work. Dr. Possley suggested another injection and it worked! It reduced my pain by about 80%. He works to help alleviate pain without that major surgery. If I do need surgery in the future, he will be the surgeon of choice. I can trust him.

Dr. Possley performed my spine surgery… I had been experiencing pain for 2 years and tried other recommended options with no real relief. During my care Dr. Possley was caring, gentle and explained things so that I understood. Now it’s been 2 months since surgery and my pain is gone. Feels like a miracle and Dr. Possley expects me to even get better within a few months.

My experience with Dr. Possley has exceeded my expectations. His professionalism and God given skills as a surgeon are outstanding. From the first consultation, through the surgery and post-op visits, I’ve had no complaints. He has explained everything very well.
