Testimonials

Dear Dr. Morgan and team;
My name is J. Wilkerson, and on April 4, 2008, I had a L4-5 Lumbar Disectomy performed by Dr. Morgan. I am writing to complement your office on your professionalism, compassion and follow-up that I've received.

I called for a follow-up appointment and your office got me in that same day. That was more than I expected and then I was wowed by the service I received.

Also impressive was the experience that I had with the Nurse Practitioner. Her knowledge, listening skills and recommendations were refreshing and appreciated. I was seen on time, and during the appointment she listened to all my questions, and I did not get the feeling of being rushed.

Thanks you all, keep up the excellent service,
J. Wilkerson, DDS

Dear Dr Fleming,

I want to thank you for not operating on my back! I had been experiencing back pain pretty consistently for years and when my primary care physicians referred me to your office I was apprehensive, worried that I was on the road to back surgery. I was afraid I would have to hang up my boots and give up my true passion, horseback riding.

Instead I met a wonderful clinic assistant, Jody, who instantly put this ranch lady at ease and a remarkable doctor who educated me about my condition clearly and honestly. What a bonus that you are a horsewomen too! I instantly felt that you understood my concerns and would provide me with the options that were best for me. Knowing that I can manage the pain and continue with my lifestyle is such a relief. Thank you, thank you.

Dear Drs. Dawson & Morgan,

Just a short note to than you both for your surgical skills that repaired my lumbar spine almost 2 1/2 years ago. The result has been spectacular such that many of the pleasures of life have returned to me in full. Golf, horses, hiking...everything outdoors that I engage in with my sons and friends.
I am so grateful.

All the best to you,
Terry Friedman

Dear Sierra Neurosurgery,
Thank you for saving my retirement! I woke up from my back surgery with Dr. Morgan and was pain-free for the first time in four years. He is a miracle worker.

I was a nurse in Reno for over 30 years, so I knew I had a lot of options for a back surgeon. After getting a grim diagnosis in the Philippines, where my husband and I have retired, I wanted a second opinion from a trusted doctor with a great reputation. And even though I had to travel around the world to get it, there is no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice with Sierra Neurosurgery and Dr. Morgan.

Thank you for the great care and for giving me back my life.

Dear SNG,

I just want to thank you for everything everyone has done for me. I am only a little over two weeks post-op and can already tell that I have a new and exciting life ahead of me.

Dr. Dawson, thank you for your quick diagnosis. Your experience and expertise quickly found the problem. Dr. Morgan you are an amazing surgeon and one of the most amazing men I have ever met. You have helped me come back to being the person I once was. Dr. Vacca, I appreciate you coming in on a Saturday to check up on me. Tina, your fantastic smile and attention to my specific needs have helped greatly in my recovery.

To the staff at SNG, thank you for all you have done. My children thank you for bringing back their daddy, my wife thanks you for bringing back her husband and I thank you for giving me hope to do all the things I want to do.

Sincerely,
Lonnie Ford
On August 15, 2006, my son was brought to Washoe Med via Care Flight. He was in a single car, triple roll over accident. His head was fractured in several places and suffered two open wounds clear to the skull.

Dr. David Leppla was the attending neurosurgeon. How wonderful this man is. From the first moment in ICU to the final days of our stay, I was always at ease with Dr. Leppla's care and confidant that he was in command of the situation. He delivered the daily news with hope, compassion and just enough reality to keep us going strong always taking the time to answer the many questions an uncertain parent asks.

Our family is forever grateful for the outstanding care and talent Dr. Leppla brought to our critical situation. As my father said leaving the hospital August 28th, "Thank you for giving us our grandson and son back."

Sincerely,
Melanie Mason
Please pass on a thank you to Dr. Dawson and all of your staff on behalf of my mother, Dawn House. Dr. Dawson's efficient and accurate diagnosis and your help and kindness truly made a difficult situation better. My mother is doing well and we are very thankful.
