Although I am still in the recovery process I feel 100% better. I am forever thankful!”

“I cannot say enough about Dr. Tyndall and Nurse Carrie. After having back pain which was unrelieved by pain management, I was very skeptical that my pain could ever be relieved. Dr. Tyndall saw me promptly, reviewed my films, and explained my care plan in language I could understand. I had surgery and was back to work in a few weeks. I am so happy that Dr. Tyndall performed my surgery. I have been pain-free ever since. I highly recommend Dr. Tyndall to anyone wanting quality care.”

He does not do surgery unless it is the only solution to your medical problem, in other words as a last resort. His nurse Carrie is so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable, she makes you very comfortable during your visit. I would highly recommend him.”

“Was very personable from the first time I meet him! Always concerned about what was going on before and after my surgery. His nurse Kerri is always pleasant and nice to talk to. Had to call her a couple of times, and she had no problem calling me back every time I called! And helped me with all my questions. She took time on her day off to bring my neck brace to the surgery center, because she had to order one because they were out of my size. That just goes to show the Big Hearts they have for their patients that they take care of and help! Both are Awesome!”
