Stephen E Earle's Online Review Report Card

I had an anterior and posterior cervical fusion with instruments, then underwent a laminectomy and posterior hardware removal on one side with Dr. Earle due to a misplaced screw into a nerve. I went to him in a lot of pain, experiencing migraines and weakness. His challenge going in posteriorly to correct what another surgeon had done was nothing short of pure expertise. I am highly critical, question exhaustively and am my own advocate. I’m highly educated on my own condition, as it should be a must for anyone. His staff and family are second to none, wonderful daughter, much like his incredible wife. He is unhurried, thorough and honest. He tells it like it is. Read another review that a patient insisted the doctor told him only a few days to recover. He probably told him he’d notice a difference in a few days, but to not understand that the body requires time to heal is patient denial. Very unfortunate, because Dr. Earle knew I was a single Mom on a single income and spoke plainly about my recovery. We also have to hear what a surgeon tells us. If you are fortunate enough to be in the room with this doctor, listen to what he has to say. He’s saying it to you - for you. He performed my surgery in 2008. I’m writing this review in 2022, because that’s how much I’ve respected him over the years. He’s never left my thoughts and a good surgeon never will.

Great staff and very understanding of my injuries. Wonderful Doctor.

I’d like to start off saying that Dr. Earle operated on my spine yesterday and is an AMAZING surgeon. He is efficient and kept updating my girlfriend who was in the waiting room at the hospital waiting for me. His bedside manner is among the best I’ve ever seen in a doctor and that’s coming from a nurse. He brought me so much comfort me and my girlfriend and he’s hilarious. Dr. Earle explained the whole procedure and recovery time very well. He is making sure my pain control is taken care of and I am highly satisfied with the pain control plan. I can already feel improvement in the severe pain I had before surgery. I highly recommend him 5/5 stars.

Best surgeon EVER! Very friendly and thorough in speaking with his patients regarding plans for treatment of back issues. Very satisfied with my lumbar surgery.

Best surgeon listens to his patients. Only does surgery if you really need it.

I feel like I got the opposite experience of all the other reviewers. The front desk customer service was great , really nice girls and informative. During my initial consult w the Dr, for spinal fusion he indicated multiple times that my recovery period would be a few DAYS. I lift weights and asked him specifically about this and he indicated there would be no restrictions after 3 days. Fast forward to 10days before surgery and I receive a packet of paperwork saying I shouldn't eat solid food for a period of time, ill need physical therapy and won't be able to work out for MONTHS. When I called the office to inquire about this discrepancy in recovery time, understandably slightly confused and upset, the office manager SUGGESTED I cancel my surgery. Im in constant pain and have been waiting for this surgery for 2 years and cannot express my disappointment with the way my situation was handled when my 1st important question arose. The paperwork they sent says to call for questions and concerns. They made me feel so bad I wouldn't recommend them, specifically bc of the office manager

First off I've never been so impressed and felt more welcomed at a doctors office all staff professional friendly the greatest respect is shown and given to any patient no matter the reason for scheduled appointment. As far as Dr. Earle my fiancee and I left the office and the day of and after my surgery couldn't be any more welcoming n stress free gave every detail that I should expect before during and after surgery . Dr. Earle is a professional man who cares for his patients present injuries and future outcomes of surgeries I will always remember how he explained the whole ordeal to me n my fiancee I was like he can just tell me I need to have surgery and get paid for it or I can take time to think it over( it took me almost a year before I couldn't handle my pain & had surgery done) it was all up to me and how I felt and was ready ... I have nothing bad to say all great... Thank you to Dr earle n his staff

Dr. Earle is a fantastic surgeon and will not end your appointment until all of YOUR questions are answered and satisfied. As for his staff, they are absolutely top notch and handle everything so you have zero headaches. If 10 stars were available, I'd definitely give them that rating.

The receptionist/s are the best here. Never a nuisance to call for information/ questions (like MANY OTHER PLACES ARE!)

Gives you details and makes sure you understand everything!
