Scott Spann's Online Review Report Card

retired

He performed a surgery incorrectly on me and I have to get it fixed. Other surgeons have informed me of this, so it's not my opinion.

After years of back pain and one failed back surgery, Dr. Spann and his team were able identify and resolve the problem. The spinal fusion was a success and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I cannot believe this guy is still in business. Should have his license taken. After one x ray and a 5 minute chat, he had me booked for 2 level disc replacement!!!! Turns out, my issue was muscular. After a few weeks and PT, it was resolved. Thank God I got a second and third opinion. One of those opinions knew of Spann and that he is “knife happy”! Makes sense since he’s part owner of the surgical center. STAY AWAY!!!

I am great and my sciatica pain is gone after Dr. Scott Spann at the Westlake Orthopaedics Spine & Sports performed lower lumbar surgery. So much so that I broke my foot 6 months after back surgery and who did I turn to again. Dr Scott Spann and his team have done a great job on my back and foot I can’t say enough. I recommend this group to anyone.

Dr. Spann is an excellent surgeon. He spent time with me answering my questions in a detailed way that I could understand. My appointment did not feel rushed and the amount of time he spent was beyond anything I have experienced. He uses visual cues and analogies that make complex issues more understandable. Everyone on his surgical team was great and so was my experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Spann.

I saw Spann for back/leg pain (MRI: slipped L4 vertebra & stenosis) and he offered XLIF (fusion) as an indirect decompression. My experience of him did not provide the confidence needed to move forward, however, I did try a stem cell treatment to see if I could obtain some relief and it didn't. It was my overall experience that Spann doesn't listen to patients as he's too busy selling his services and as they say in Sales, 'if you telling, you aren't selling.' No sale here!

Im a current patient of Dr. Spanns and just had a lumbar fusion surgery three weeks ago L4 and L5 along with my previous fusion at L5 S1. The surgery was great very little down time. I was up and walking once I was taking to my room from recovery. I was able to go home by noon the next day. I'm currently walking 3 miles a day and I feel great. Dr. Spann also was the surgeon on my first surgery 12 years ago these procedures were night and day.. I recommend Dr. Spann to any one needing a lumbar fusion.

I have been seeing Dr. Spann for over a decade. I suffered from back pain for over 20 years. When I moved to Austin a friend of mine recommended Dr. Spann. He performed lumbar spine fusion in 2010 and I healed beautifully. Since then I have had cervical spine surgery and it also healed beautifully. He is a caring doctor and a wonderful surgeon.

I've been seeing Dr. Spann for over a decade, through two extensive back surgeries. He has always listened to my symptoms and needs, and done his best to improve my quality of life. He is responsive, and genuinely cares about improving my situation.
