William Dillen's Online Review Report Card

I highly recommend Dr. Dillen for back/spine issue consultation. For thirty years I’ve dealt with different levels of lower back pain starting with an initial rupture of my L5 disc, finally progressing to the last 2.5 years of constant debilitating sciatica pain. My lumbar issues were spinal stenosis, bulging L4 &L5 disks, and vertebrae calcification/spurs. I unsuccessfully underwent chiropractic treatment, Rolfing massage therapy, physical therapy, Pain management, and reduced my weight 30 lbs to 175. I consulted Dr. Dillen , and along with his PA-C Keenan Prentice, he intently listened to my description of my issues and history, he reviewed my records and determined I was a viable candidate for cervical fusion. I especially liked his explanation of my problem and his resolution options. He explained everything related to my surgery clearly and answered all my follow up questions. The afternoon of my surgery I was up walking the hall, standing vertically with no sciatic pain. A month later, as I continue my healing, I get up out of bed now after too many years of pain, completely free of all sciatic pain. I continue to heal and feel better a little more each dayOver the decades I had avoided pursuing any back surgery after hearing few success stories. . I highly recommend Dr. Dillen if you are entertaining a possible surgical solution, for a professional, competent and honest evaluation of your problem. If Dr. Dillen can improve your situation he will advise accordingly and provide options. If your situation makes you less of a successful candidate, he will honestly advise you of the reasons why. I can’t thank Dr. Dillen enough, as my surgery has been a complete success as he has given me back a back pain free life.
