Aaron Creek's Online Review Report Card

Dr Creek is the best doctor I’ve ever been to. So many back issues; he did a fabulous job on my back. 7 levels of spinal ( lumbar) fusion. He was honest about what I could expect. I went to UAB, Mayo. He was the one that told me he could and would do it. I’m not back to “normal “. But I’m able to get more out of life than the last 10 years! His staff is great. His bedside manner is so reassuring and empathic. I’m a retired RN and I have never been to or been around a more caring MD. I have sent many folks to him and am always thanked profusely.

A number of years ago I injured my cervical spine (neck) by working out and lifting weights above my head. This in time caused my discs in my cervical spine to compress. This compression lead to the discs pressing on my spinal cord. I had pain in my right arm/fingers which I can only describe as pins and needles but it was painful. Dr Aaron Creek was recommend by my primary care and a local chiropractor along with several other doctors as a go to guy. On my first visit we thought I was not ready for surgery as I was coping with the pain well and it would be a very major surgery. However weeks later the pain got unbearable and I could not function. Dr Creek always said when its stops you functioning its time to get on with it. I called him on the Tuesday and on the Thursday afternoon I had the surgery at Sacred Heart in Miramar Beach. I woke up in recovery with my wife sitting there and the pain was totally gone in my arm/fingers. Recovery was hard work and wearing the collar for a number of weeks was not easy but about three weeks later my neck felt great and I was pain free. Dr Creek has a unique personality which is very hard to find, he's compassionate, he cares and he listens intently to your concerns. One of my biggest concerns like everyone else was anesthesia, he continued to reassure me until I was comfortable. I just cannot recommend him enough, cervical neck pain along with back pain sucks, get out of pain and go live your life and let this gentlemen fix you, trust me he fixed me!

I’m 75, was referred to Dr. Creek for progressive leg pain. After our initial meeting and scheduled tests, my surgery was scheduled on a Friday afternoon. I was sitting in a chair at dinner time and walked myself to the bathroom with a walker. I was released the next early afternoon. First week was a struggle, but by my two week post op. the walker was ditched and I was walking a good distance and I got to drive home. I’m a blessed and happy woman!

I will recommend all my family and friends to Dr Creek. I have serious conditions that required an experience surgeon. When you are told surgery is your only option picking a surgeon is a big decision especially back and neck surgeries. Thank you Dr Creek and and staff, you guys made my life easier.

This Dr is just amazing. Had surgery on my neck 2weeks ago and felt relief immediately. Have had no issues at all. So thankful. His staff and Emerald Coast Hospital are also so kind and thoughtful. Just a great experience. Thanks to all of you!!

He brought me in as if he was eager to help. I’ve been treated as insignificant since. As a healthcare provider with multiple previous spinal surgeries I am appalled at his lack of compassion and willingness to help. Don’t bother!

Set an appointment but never called. 0/10. Don’t waste your time! I’m a medical provider who has been through multiple spinal surgeries. Never have I been treated so poorly!

I have been in pain since a teenager with chronic migraines and horrible neck pain. Being young I was always dismissed or written off as a "seeker". Was recommended by my physical therapist to seek out a consult. Got an mri and xray and was told that my neck was awful and the only corrective action was a 3 level cervical fusion. I am 3 months out of surgery and am finally able to have a quality of life and be a functional mother to my 2 girls. At 34 I want expecting surgery, but can say Dr. Creek has been a true blessing and I cannot recommend him or his staff enough!

Just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Creek and his staff for the excellent care I received from first visit through surgery and post-op follow up. Dr. Creek was very thorough in explaining my options and I’m very thankful for choosing Coflex. It’s been three weeks since surgery and I am continually improving each day. I haven’t felt this well in over a year. I would also like to thank Kami Hatley for her diligence in getting necessary approval and scheduling Thank you Dr. Creek for your knowledge and professional care as well as the personal touch with a phone call the night after surgery. That means a lot! Praying that God will bless you and your Practice as well as your staff and your families and are able to help many others as you have helped me. Kindest Regards, Rick Kirchner

Dr. Creek goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible care for his patients.... He genuinely cares about each one of his patients...
