I had a Laminectomy on March 15. The next day I walked 150 ft with a walker. Dr. Salinas is the best Neurosurgeon you could have. I travel from North Richland Hills to Fresco to see him. Every mile is worth it. He is the best.

I underwent a L3-S1 ALIF/PSF w/ lami and am 3 months out! I already able to walk much better and completely pain free as a 70 year old. I feel better now then my 20s.

I had excruciating pain and numbness in both hands. Prior to ACDF surgery, I tried epidural injections and even a rhizotomy (burning nerves). Nothing worked. I then had carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel surgery by a hand surgeon that provided no relief at all. I then went to see Dr Salinas. Dr Salinas reviewed my MRI and said my pain and hand numbness were originating from my cervical spine. I had discs bulging into my spine.

Dr Salinas performed a 3-level ACDF surgery on me in Dec 2023. It is now March 2024 and I have totally regained the feeling in both hands and the numbness is completely gone, as is the excruciating burning sensation pain I had 24/7. The ACDF procedure is for the most part painless too. I spent one night in the hospital for observation, and I was discharged the next day. I wore a rigid neck brace for a couple of weeks, which does make sleeping a bit of a challenge, but you get used to it. The only "discomfort" I had was from the rigid neck brace. I did have sore throat for a couple of days, but that went away with Tylenol. If you are on the fence or nervous about ACDF, have confidence that DR Salinas is your best choice for surgery and a successful recovery.

Absolutely amazing experience. I needed surgery in a bad way, I’m glad I chose Dr. Salinas. Shelby and the whole staff were top notch.

Amazing! Its only been 2 months and I feel like I can do anything with my back now. I can not thank you all enough.
