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.

Very likely
I think he was very concerned before doing surgery that he tried everything!

Impossible to get an appointment with him
I’ve called twice, no call backs. Have had surgery fusing L5 and S1 in 1984. Have had X-rays at Neuro South probably 15 years ago. They just wanted to do pain management. All I want is an appointment so I can see if the constant pain in my neck can be stopped!

absolutely amazing Doctor !!!
Absolutely fantastic. Dr. Woodall did my back surgery on Valentine's day 2017, and today is my 6 year anniversary. He completely changed the quality of my life, for the better. Thank you Dr. Woodall. The entire staff was incredible, told me what was going to happen every step of the way, and also reinforced how important it was for me to "do the work" once I got home. It was the best experience.

Very disappointing
He told my parents that my mother’s back should not be operated on (compression fracture in L1) and she needed to just lay flat (in very intense pain) until it healed on her own. Sadly, my parents took his advice until they finally realized that was no way to live, as she was losing so much muscle mass in her legs. Thankfully, we found another doctor in New Orleans that successfully operated, and now she is pain free. I would not recommend seeing Dr Woodall, at all.

Dr. Woodall and his staff were great. I had a spinal fusion (L4/L5) and not only got rid of my severe back pain, but now I can walk again like a human. I cannot say enough good about both Dr. Woodall and hi staff and have recommended him to my own son.

You performed an anterior cervical directory fusion a little past a year ago. Here's still in trouble with excruciating pain, numbness pretty much loss use of right hand and arm. How could you not do what you were supposed to do in surgery and where was the neurosurgeon!!!

Wasted time and money! 1st visit after MRI and I had several options of treatment. Go back on 2nd visit after MRI and he wanted a stimulator put in. I advised him I had 6 already and the doctors there said I couldn't have another one put in. Well after that sentence( which I could tell it upset him, he acted like I was telling him how to do his job) I wasnt doing that only informing him of what other doctors said. His answer after that was there's no help then and he left room.
