Testimonials

Testimonials From NSSC Patients About Back and Spine Pain Treatments

"I had TLIF surgery (4 hours!) with Dr Hunter.  My nerve pain is gone and I have my life back! Dr H was fantastic and post-op visited my room at 5:30 am. He also called my Son from the OR to advise that all was going well. My treatment- before, during, and after surgery- by Dr Hunter, his staff, and Caromont Hospital was world class !"

- Ed Paukovits


"Dr. Hunter did surgery on me for Herniated Disc. Excellent bedside manners, great hospital and office staff. NP in office is excellent and very efficient. I'll give more stars if available. God, continue to Bless his hands."

- Camille Michelle


"I have had 2 surgeries with Dr. Hunter. Hands down he is the best surgeon you could ask for. I love the staff here as well. They are very respectful, and polite. They do above their job. Thank you to all for taking excellent care of me. I appreciate you all."

- Tammy Tilley


"Dr. Hunter did surgery on my neck C-3, C-4 and C-5. Then L5-L6. Fusion and wedge with plates and screws. Fantastic job. No pain, or stiffness. I highly recommend him."

- Barbara Mann


"Dr. Hunter did an anterior cervical fusion on my neck last Christmas and I have done extremely well. I feel like a new person. I have suffered with neck pain for over 10 years and I should’ve had it done a long time ago. Dr. Hunter is a wonderful surgeon and shows compassion for his patients. He has a passion for what he does and it shows. I scrubbed in surgery and assisted him for 15 years and I can say he is the best! Highly recommended."

- Kim Holman


"So many good things to say about Dr. Hunter and his team. Got me in swiftly and had the utmost confidence in his knowledge and expertise which made me feel at ease. Helped with the appeal process with the insurance company and got me in for surgery close to within a month of the first visit. They got me out of pain and gave me my life back. Cannot recommend this place enough!!"

- Max Shirley


"Dr. Hunter and his staff are excellent. I highly recommend them for any neurosurgical problem. I have been treated for neck pain and headaches by Megan Wilkinson NP and my care has been outstanding."

- Karen Kurth


"From start to finish, I had the best experience with the office staff, Doctor Hunter, surgery, everything. I had previously seen my chiropractor, family doctor, another spine physician, and none of them were able to do anything to lessen my pain. I was stuck lying in bed for almost 2 months, i couldn't stand nor sit without immense pain. Thankfully my chiropractor then recommended me to the NSSC Neuroscience Center. The wait time in the office was very short, staff was very helpful, and knowledgeable. I met with Dr. Hunter who explained all the possible options, steps, and procedures, answered all questions, and did not rush. He scheduled an MRI rush (which my family doctor and the other spine doctor would not do until other steps were taken). Dr. Hunter then put a rush on my return appointment and got me in surgery within a couple of days (first doctor I've seen to help me get to the next step fast!). The surgery was smooth and gave me immediate pain relief. Recovery steps were explained to me in great detail, and all staff again were great. I am now 3 weeks post-surgery and feel great! Had my follow-up appointment and was treated the same, with minimal waiting time and great service. I am so happy I went to Dr. Hunter, happy and pain-free! I can't say a single negative thing."

- Andrea Poteat


"I feel so good now." I am now able to do most things again. Hiking, Dancing, and more! I love Dr. Hunter and his staff. I am so appreciative of the care they have given me."
