I Started this journey with severe nerve pain in my neck back around 2019, Surgery was scheduled for February of 2020, But as life is it got way to busy, So I had to postpone surgery, I did pretty well for a couple of years but thShow moreen I’m October of 2022 it became very evident that I was out of options, So I again called advanced neurosurgery and got an appt with Dr Song and his PA Ashlee, I can say from the bottom of my heart Ashlee, Dr. Song, Cameron, Jolie, Cheyenne , are the most caring gentle souls I’ve have had the pleasure to meet. These folks took care of my concerns , All the red tape that goes along with being off work FMLA, Short term disability, Cameron and Jolie handled like champs, As for Surgery and Dr. Song there is none better, he saw what needed to be done and took care of it, always concerned for my well being my healing my recovery really my life after surgery of C4-C7 . I cannot say enough about Him, his PA Ashlee
I have been dealing with a bulging disc that caused sciatica pain that my life miserable. The first time I went to Dr Song he saw how much pain I was in and personally reached out to physicians to make sure he got me scheduled forShow more an epidural that same day. We chose to try Physical Therapy over surgery which didn’t fix my back pain. I received a second shot to hold off the pain until I could have surgery. Dr Song performed a Laminectomy two weeks ago today, I have been walking daily since surgery and seem to be improving daily. The incisions were tiny and painless and my ongoing recovery has been life changing. I have friends that are suffering from chronic back pain, who are reluctant or afraid to have back surgery. Don’t listen to the horror stories of past surgeries years ago, the process was far less intrusive than laying flat in a vehicle and driving two hours to see Dr Song on my initial visit.

I always have a very positive experience when I have an appointment, and the front office staff is is always really nice and patient when I have to ask them questions.
I have had neck pain since 1987… so many doctors and chiropractors but my pain returned. When I met with Dr Song we talked about how it would go and decided that I was a good candidate for neck surgery. Night and day is how I describe my pain, from being in pain all the time to absolutely no pain at all!! It’s been almost a year and I am still pain free!!! Thank you Dr.Song for your care and compassion!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!! Sami N
We are so thankful that we got to talk with Ashlee. She answered all the questions we had and was very patient, encouraging and informative. We feel confident going ahead with the surgery after our conversation.
Ashlee is amazing and so attentive to your needs as a patient, nice to have someone who truly listens and goes the extra for the patients. Thank you!!
The surgery went well. I was sent home without Any muscle pain relaxer so once the implant pain relief expired I had to endure a couple of days in excruciating pain before I could get a prescription filled. I have also been dealing with a hematoma as a result of surgery, which has caused a lot of pain also.
Ashlee was great. She is very thorough and can tell she’s very knowledgeable in her field. She provided amazing care!
Extremely great care. Very professional.
Very pleasant interaction.
I have been a patient of Dr Song’s since 2010, have scoliosis, and several other conditions. Dr Song has taken excellent care of me and has completed the most innovative, most effective solution for my surgery's, his care of me before during and after my surgery’s is excellent and extremely caring. His knowledge and expertise is always present in his care of me. I would wait for however long it took to schedule an appointment or surgery with Dr Song, Dr Song staff is always kind and caring even in the time of covid and un know times. Just this month ago in Sep 2023 I was in severe pain, Ashley and Dr Song worked together to get me in to surgery within a few weeks for a endoscopic laminectomy. Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you always Dr Song and Staff at Advance neurosurgery Shelis Forant
