Nick Theodore's Online Review Report Card

I had a major spinal surgery by Dr Nicholas Theodore and his team on the 19th of November 2021, once my anesthesia wore out i was amazingly feeling so so fine.All my multiple aches and pain,especially down both my legs had all gone.my numbness and tingling had all gone. He discharged me same day.My wife was hesitant to take me home,but eventually,we went home.To my surprise by the next morning,Dr Theodore asked me to go take a walk,and i walked a quarter of a mile. Its been almost 3 months since then and i dont have any more symptoms.I want to Thank Dr Nicholas Theodore and his team for a phenomenal Job,excellently done.

He saved my life by performing Brain Surgery on me March 20, 2006. Thank you Dr. Theodore.

I was experiencing hip, leg, and foot pain (walking, as well as standing, had become difficult for me) from lumbar stenosis when Dr. Theodore operated on me in July 2021. I had already tried physical therapy (including aquatic therapy) and three sets of corticosteroid injections without any improvement. Dr. Theodore gave me hope that I would be able to resume my active lifestyle after surgery. He performed an L4 hemilaminectomy, facetectomies, and foraminotomies to decompress my spinal cord and nerve roots. He patiently explained the procedure to me and showed great compassion and a much-welcomed sense of humor in his treatment towards me. I am now walking (at age 74) 8 miles a day and swimming 3 – 5 days a week at my local Y! Dr. Theodore and his team at Hopkins are awesome!

I was really impressed with the entire spine program at Johns Hopkins--from my first call for a consult to scheduling the surgery, from the surgery to overnight stay to follow-up. Dr. Theodore and his team really shine. Dr. T was professional, reassuring and answered all of my questions pre- and post-surgery.

I went to Dr. Theodore for a recent laminectomy. I had been having leg pain, foot numbness and lower back pain. Dr. Theodore meet with us for a consult, then performed the surgery and meet with us again for the post-op visit. He is very caring, concerned and professional. I was very pleased with the surgery. My leg and lower back pain is gone and the numbness is about 50% improved. Dr. Theodore believes I will have additional improvement in a month or two. I highly recommend Dr. Theodore and his team including Daniel and Dorothy. The staff at Johns Hopkins is amazing. I was very well cared for before and after surgery (1 night stay). Thank you, Dr. Theodore.

I saw Dr. Theodore for another opinion regarding the numbness and tingling in both hands I was experiencing after an auto accident. Previous surgeons had not picked up on the severity of one of my symptoms and had not impressed on me the need to have surgery. Dr. Theodore thoroughly answered all my questions and his office even put me in contact with a former patient who had a similar operation so I could prepare for my surgery. I felt as though I was in extremely capable hands. His office stayed in communication with me before and after surgery and promptly answered my inquires. The morning of my operation, Dr. Theodore put me at ease, and I was surprisingly calm as I went into surgery. He continues to provide exceptional care and is a compassionate physician. I highly recommend Dr. Nicholas Theodore. In my opinion, he is the BEST!!

Dr. Theodore and I met to discuss pain created by my scoliosis. He was well-prepared for our meeting having already thoroughly reviewed my MRI, was friendly and kind, and provided clear recommendations as to how to proceed. I trust Dr. Theodore implicitly and value the medical expertise he provided.

I went to Dr Theodore for lower lumbar and cervical pain. He and his staff performed cervical fusion and 6 weeks later he relieved the spinal stenosis that was causing my back pain. He was very friendly and treated me like i was a friend not a patient. The only problem I have is he left Phoenix and no longer practices here. He's a great surgeon.

Dr. Theodore did back surgery on me about 6 years ago. He is a very skilled physician. This during his time in Phoenix.

Dr. Theodore performed surgery on me this week to remove a cyst pressing against my lower spinal column. The pressure from the cyst was causing consistently severe and almost debilitating pain from my lower back through my foot. Dr. Theodore and his neurosurgical staff did an outstanding job of removing the cyst, and had me up and around within two days, and taking short walks within four days. His professionalism and demeanor gave me both confidence and comfort, going into and recovering from the operation.
