I have struggled with lower back and radiating pain down my right leg for nearly two years. Tried every treatment possible and found no relief. The pain used to keep me up all night and restrict my day to day activities. I had losShow moret all hope when finally I googled Dr. Thomas Loftus. He is a miracle worker. I owe him a great deal. The pain is gone and I am feeling so much better. He is kind, a great listener, extremely knowledgeable and will provide you care that you need. His staff is AMAZING! Each and everyone is so helpful and supportive. They made my recovery process a breeze. Thank you Dr. Loftus and team, I’ll be forever grateful.

Thomas is as good as they come. No BS straight forward and no unnecessary procedures. If there is not a projected positive outcome he’s not going to advise surgery!

Alma M. • September 17, 2026

Finally at someone to listen to my problem of my pain. I’ve been through four other doctors that just wanted to take X-rays and tell me that I need a hip replacement or a knee replacement. Some other doctors wanted to replace two discs. Dr. Loftus and his team was a great relief experience that I finally got.
