Spine Works Institute

Fantastic experience: I have had 5 back surgeries from various doctors in the past. I want to say that Doctor Phelps is the best of the best when it comes to surgeons. He is caring and tells you the truth up front. If you don't need surgery, he will tell you. If you need pain management, he will tell you. He is honest and very intelligent.

Fantastic experience: I was originally referred to Dr.Phelps by a physical therapist who noticed that Dr.Phelps patients had a tendency to heal quicker than patients from other Dr’s. That was 7 years ago and I’ve been making an hour plus drive since to see both Dr. Phelps and Dr. Hay. I’ve received back and neck injections almost annually with Dr. Hay until the decision was made to move forward with Surgery. I was confident in Dr. Phelps surgical skills, but reluctant because of the anticipated pain following the surgery. Let me go back and preface this with the fact that in seven years of being a patient I have requested meds a handful of times (when the pain was extreme). Dr. Hay has always listened and never let me leave without some relief. Having heard rumors that Dr. Phelps was an excellent surgeon, but didn’t believe in the efficacy of pain relief, I was terrified. So much so, that I actually canceled the first surgery. After years of the physical and emotional toll of pain, the last thing I wanted was to have a major surgery and be left hurting yet again. I am now 21 days post op from a fusion and not only did the surgery go incredibly well, Dr. Phelps has also been proactive and responsive to my pain control. It’s common knowledge that pain medication is a taboo subject these days and the Dr’s hold a huge responsibility to keep patients safe while also minimizing pain for optimal healing. And Dr. Phelps Is doing that. Additionally, my physical therapist has said that I’m doing incredible for being 3 weeks post op. The combination of having an excellent surgeon and adequate pain control has afforded me the opportunity to put forth more effort in physical therapy thus improving my healing process. I highly recommend Dr. Haye and Dr. Phelps if you’re looking for a skilled team to help with any back situation you may be experiencing.

Fantastic experience: My husband is 15 days post back surgery, is pain free and feels better than he has in a long time. Dr. Phelps and his staff provide excellent care, I could not be happier with his outcome!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Phelps is the absolute best. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Des (unsure of spelling) . I am 4 weeks post Lumbar Fusion and just received more necessary paperwork to be filled out. 3rd set requested, one for Short-term disability, one for FMLA and now this specifically for my job!! ???? She was so very kind to offer to get in done while I waited, which was incredible since I'm not allowed to drive yet and my daughter is my driver. This whole office has always been so kind, but this is top-notch ???? ????

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say about this office. The office staff is prompt, cheerful, and professional. Dr. Hay and his assistant, Trina, definitely put me at ease. Dr. Hay went over my MRI results in detail in a language I could understand. I was able to have my initial appointment and get my epidural steroid injection within 24 hours of each other. I'm very pleased with Spine Works Institute after calling other places and my initial phone calls not even being returned.
