Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Michael has been excellent. The best part of my experience was we are still in Covid and my adult children had concerns regarding my upcoming surgery. During my appointment when we scheduled surgery I told Dr. Michael of my childrens concerns and asked if he could set up a time to speak with them. He immediately said,"call them now, video call." I did and he was wonderful he answered all questions pointed the phone to my MRI results. He completely explained the procedure he was amazing. I knew then I picked the right person for the surgery. He is compassionate and the office staff is just as wonderful. All of the ladies in the office and the Addison hospital staff fantastic. I was in good hands. I'm 6 weeks post surgery and starting PT today. I walked a mile yesterday and am getting back to normal because I followed instructions.

I was sufferring from a disc herniation in lumbar area since 3 months which was affecting my left leg. I was reffered to Dr. Michael by my primary doctor and i must say he is the most humble and knowledgeable doctor. He explained every detail and in February i finally i had a surgery performed by Dr.Michael and his team. He and his team is a great support. I'am having no pain now and feeling perfectly ok.

Dr. Michael was amazing and his staff is super friendly and efficient. I had cervical stenosis surgery this past January and I'm been feeling better. I would recommend him who has back problems.

If you are looking for a good neurosurgeon look no farther than Dr. Christopher Michael. Dr. Michael and his staff were very helpful and pleasant. He's not only good at explaining about the procedure he is going to perform, he also put you at ease. But most importantly he is a great neurosurgeon! I feel like his great work on my surgery helped me recover quicker. I would highly recommend Dr. Michael for your surgical needs.

For the past year I have suffered with pain from a Synovial Cyst. The first surgeon (not Dr. Michael) I consulted did not leave me feeling confident. I researched reviews and found Dr. Michael. From very first contact I was handled in a professional and compassionate manner. Dr. Michael suggested removal of the cyst. Surgery was completed and I am without pain! I highly recommend Dr. Michael. He and his staff are great!! If I ever have need of a neurosurgeon again, he will be my choice.

I found Dr. Michael to be an outstanding neurosurgeon. He was able to determine the extent of my problem and clearly explained what he would do to correct the problem. I have never seen a doctor work so hard to see that there was a positive outcome to the surgical procedure. He was very professional, yet, very caring. I highly recommend Dr. Michael for any type of spine surgery.

I would and already have recommended Dr. Christopher Michael as I am extremely well pleased with what he was able to do for me with my back surgery. After years of being told I might not walk if having this surgery I trusted Dr. Michael and I am thrilled to be walking and without pain. He is definitely a 5 Star, top notch surgeon.

Excellent Doctor and staff. Addressed all questions and concerns ensuring that I was comfortable with the treatment plan recommended. Dr. Michael has a well organized team, on time for appointments ensuring all test and results were coordinated efficiently and effectively. From our first meeting I felt he had my best interest at heart. Hope I never need his services agin, but if so, would not hesitate to contact. Excellent result, completely back to normal..

I have been to a couple of different doctors trying to figure out what was causing pain in my hip and lower back. I can honestly say none put as much time and genuine care into figuring out what was wrong, and taking the most conservative approach to treating me, as Dr. Michael. Thanks to Dr. Michael, I feel 100% better now. I am very thankful and will certainly refer him to any family and friends in the future.

When it comes to brain surgery, needless to say I was hesitant to trust someone with the job. After receiving multiple opinions, Dr. Michael was clearly the surgeon for me. He made me feel comfortable, safe, and made sure I completely understood everything.

After steroids, physical therapy and many other things to help cope; my body literally gave up on me & I was no longer able to walk much less move without being in pain. I decided to go ahead with the emergency spinal surgery. I was so scared and nervous, when Dr. Michael introduced himself I immediately began to cry. He helped ease my worries, checked in with me before and after the surgery. His P.A. was also amazing! I am back to my old self & finally enjoying physical activities with my kids!
