Brian Haycook's Online Review Report Card

Very good visit

After having a heart attack my heart function was 30% the left ventricular was damaged beyond repair and completely block and I had a blood clot in the area of the damaged heart. About the same time I developed a herniated disk pressing on the sciatic nerve causing unbelievable pain in my back and left leg so bad I was confined to a wheelchair. My only chance of relief was back surgery to remove the herniated disk. Because of my previous heart attack all doctors were reluctant to perform the surgery but Dr. Haycook understood the level of pain and wanted to help me. He did the surgery and the pain was gone immediately. I was able to be begin exercising each day to regain my strength and improve my heart function. I just had a new echocardiogram and my heart function is back to 60% Normal the left ventricular is open the damage area is almost completely healed and the blood clot is gone. Dr. Haycook saved my life

DR. HAYCOOK WAS COURTEOUS FRIENDLY AND GAVE ME THE TIME NEEDED TO EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM IN DETAIL AND PROVIDE OPTIONS TO PREVENT DREADED BACK SURGERY AND STILL BE MOBIL MORE IMPORTANT TO ME WAS THE PEACE OF MIND DR. HAYCOOK PROVIDED AND HIS MEDICAL ADVICE TO KEEP ME MOBIL WITHOUT FEAR. GLAD TO HAVE HIM IN ST. AUGUSTINE.

I had an SI joint fused prior to surgery I had pain only in the si joint after surgery I had pain down my leg. I was told to stretch effective for about 10 minutes. On the follow up in his office I could only see the PA. His demeaner was... this is what I have to say I dont want to hear your problem. Use Haycook in the past but no more in the future.

As always Dr. Haycook is very caring and knowlegeble and helpful. he always knows what is right for me.

Dr. Haycook is always the best Orthopedic surgeon I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Dr Haycook was referred to me by Dr McClone. They are in the same practice. McClone spoke very highly of him. Quote Diane knowing you as I do you will really like Dr Hayccok. I cant say that for other surgeons on our team. I have been a patient of Dr McClone for a few years. I trusted Dr McClone. During an hourlong appointment he reviewed my MRI and his official diagnosis was that I had a VERY ANGRY BACK and surgery was recommended. And then the appointment was over. I made a follow up appointment to schedule the surgery. WHY? The staff at the practice are great. David my Physical Therapist is awesome. So I figured two out of three was good enough. At the 2nd appt. he told me that he could not offer the surgery to me. I asked why. He could not or would not tell me. So no explanation was given and the appointment was over. It all worked out because I found another surgeon to do the surgery and he didnt have ANY MALPRACTICE suits on his record.

Dr Haycook is very understanding. After going to 4 other doctors and having numerous shots Dr Haycook did testing and determined surgery is warrented. He explained it in terms I could understand and was logical. Staff iare friendly and professional.

I get the best care from Dr. Haycook. He is so patient and caring. He takes the time to listen to his patients and never rushes them out the door. I have recommended Dr. Haycook to many people

Dr. Haycook made me feel at ease discussing and deciding whether or not I should have surgery. Went into great detail explaining options. I would recommend him to friends.
