  Today, marks my 6 months since my cervical surgery for c1-2, c4-6, and I feel much better. Tingling in my hands is gone, migraine headaches are gone, and my brain fog is gone. My quality of life is much better since my accident. I feel like the surgery went very well. I would recommend them to anyone who is having cervical spine problems. Thank you Dr Joel Franck and to Pam!!

  Dr. Franck is a life saver. Literally. He is the only surgeon I would want to touch my neck. He is incredibly intelligent; he cares about his patients, and he takes his time explaining things to you. A top knotch surgeon who is worth every penny. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He has saved many lives, and touched so many people with his healing prowess. Thank you Dr. Franck.

  Dr. Franck has given me a new lease on life. Before surgery I was in severe pain with headaches that woke me up in the middle of the night. After surgery, I've had no pain. He explained the procedure and recovery, thoroughly. He has a wonderful bedside manner and is happy to spend time going over all medical aspects of the surgery. His NP Pamela Perrin was available at all times for any questions or concerns. The travel was well worth the outcome. I had very little pain after surgery and had an easy recovery. They are both friendly and professional.

  Though my case is still in the courts, I can give you a quick version of how I came to need Dr. Franck and Pam and what they did for me. I do want to first explain that most of this information is as described from my notebooks during the time as well as from my husband (I still have incomplete and nondescript memories from the time the accident happened to surgery and a little thereafter).
  
  TLDR at bottom.
  
  I was hit by a semi in my Kia Soul and flipped off the interstate. In the days/weeks after: My left hand stopped working. I felt spacey and fuzzy and unable to focus. I felt like everything was going in slow motion, and I couldn't remember anything. My head and neck always hurt, like constant headaches. Lights and sounds were excruciating. I was in a perpetual fog. I went through various therapies including chiro, physical therapy, massage, etc. Those opportunities helped a little bit, but I still wasn't me. I was still having a lot of neurological issues that nothing was helping (including a weird tick in my face).
  
  Then, we found Dr. Franck and Pam! This was my last resort (for obvious reasons. I mean, nobody really looks forward to being opened up and drilled on). I had a bunch of problems, some of which we were already aware of from working with neurologists and medical professionals up to this point: whiplash, instability, cerebellar tonsillar ectopia, cerebrospinal fluid obstruction, neurological dysfunction... a bunch of stuff. What it came down to was this: C1-C2 fused/screwed together, suboccipital craniectomy and decompression, etc. The healing process was not easy, to say the least, but it was nowhere near as excruciating as I thought it was going to be. I do remember having issues trying to figure out a comfy way to sleep. So, back at home, we rented a recliner and I slept in that until I felt comfortable enough to lie in the bed.
  
  These days, those neurological issues and headaches from the problems in my neck/skull are resolved. I do still have other issues that need to be worked out, but they’re not in Dr. Franck’s field (psychological, emotional, etc.). Though I do have to live with this accident and the results for the rest of my life, I truly could not be happier with the outcome of the surgery; it really is a new lease on life.
  
  As for bedside manner, attitude, personality, etc. I never had a problem. Dr. Franck and Pam were warm, welcoming, patient, and kind. I felt very comfortable with them. They never had any issues with answering my questions whether in-person, by text, or by email. They were there the whole way, including just before surgery! They came in, we all talked (including my husband and father, who were there for support).
  
  As for the other hot topics: Wait times were quick, in my opinion. I never waited very long to be seen at all. Dr. Franck and Pam were always very thorough with their explanations and very patient with me and my husband. I truly looked forward to each appointment because I would always get a detailed analysis of my x-ray or MRI or DMX.
  
  TLDR: Excellent experience. Highly recommend.
