Patient Reviews/Experiences:
- For many months, I lived with pain and numerous trips to doctors’ offices in Dallas and here in East Texas. Each trip was a new diagnosis with further tests and useless prescriptions. I was experiencing numbness in my right arm, pain across my back, and VERY significant pain in my right chest. These were costly on fixed income. I even had to make a trip to an emergency room in Dallas to rule out heart issues. One specialist finally ordered an MRI of my brain, neck, and back. I was referred to a physical therapist for God knows what, but after 10 sessions I could no longer drive. I could not function on the daily level in which I was accustomed and had no semblance of my former active life. I could only beg and cry for relief, but not able to understand where the problem resided. I no longer experienced any relief in any position. At the urging of a family member, I made the two hour trip to Dallas to see Dr. Kendall Carll at Texas Spine Consultants. Dr. Carll was immediately and graphically able to explain my condition with a 2 level disk issue in my neck, as well as my options. Even though he did not advocate surgery, this was the option I chose. I was very fortunate to be able to schedule this surgery just a few weeks out. The day of surgery I had neither fear nor reservation because I knew I needed relief. I put all of my trust in the skilled hands of Dr. Kendall Carll and his staff. I awoke from surgery and recovered approximately 4 hours later with absolutely no pain or numbness in my right arm or chest. I was so amazed and grateful. Each day has been better than the last. I am truly grateful to Dr. Carll and his staff for giving me my former life back.
- Dr. Carll is one of the best doctors I have encountered. He was very kind and personable. I was treated with great respect and was very accurate with my diagnosis. He also made everything easy to understand and took extra time for any questions I had. Overall my experience with Dr. Carll was great!
- I saw Dr. Carll for a second opinion after another surgeon told me I needed surgery without explaining what kind of surgery and why. He walked me through my x-rays and the surgery I would need to remove the pressure on my spinal cord. He answered every question I had. At the end of our conversation, he said he would be happy to do it but did not force the issue. He even called me a few days later to check on me. When I told him I was going for a 3rd opinion, he encouraged it. I haven't decided if I want to have surgery yet, but I will be going back to Dr. Carll if I do.
