What Patients Say?
To Provide Comprehensive Quality Care
"He saved my life!! I barely walked into his office because I had a vertebrae that was crushing my spinal cord. Dr Prior took one look at me and immediately sent me to the ER.. I was in surgery within the hour. He dropped everything to save me from never walking again. He’s an amazing Dr and whoever gets him is blessed.. "
I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Prior. I find him to be quite personable, intelligent, and informative. I actually look forward to my visits with him, as he and his staff always provide a great experience. My procedure went extremely well, I felt comfortable putting my trust into him from the start, and never regretted my decision to follow his recommended treatment. I would absolutely recommend anyone with cervical or spine issues to consider him as your specialist.
I HAD LOWER LUMBAR SURGERY IN MY BACK IN MARCH OF 2017. DOCTOR PRIOR WAS MY SURGEON OF CHOICE, AND I WAS COMPLETELY HAPPY, AND SATISFIED WITH HIS SKILL AND COMPASSIONATE CARE THAT HE GAVE ME. WHAT A TRULY GENUINE DOCTOR HE IS .... HE REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS, AND TREATS THEM LIKE FAMILY. AND YES, I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM, AND I WOULD HAVE HIM AGAIN AS MY SURGEON OF CHOICE.
