Doctor Atwater and his team are amazing. It's always a little bit scary when you're letting someone touch your spine. However I have the utmost confidence in him. I have only been a patient for maybe 8 months but I feel as comfortable with him as I am with doctors I have had for years. He is very hands on ,never too busy to give you the attention that you need and deserve. I never doubt that he only has my best interest at heart.

I will forever be grateful to Dr. Atwater for giving me my quality of life back. He did back surgery on me about 6 years ago and I feel wonderful. He is The BEST! I will never forget him. He also has wonderful bedside manner. Just an excellent Dr in every way. Still thanking you Dr. Atwater. Wish every Dr was like him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Atwater's since 2015. After a car accident left me needing multiple complex lumbar spine surgeries, he was the only surgeon I was willing to let operate on me at the age of 32. He is a skilled, empathetic and personable physician. The "backbone" of his practice, is his nurse, Kara Mace. I have required high levels of medical attention in the past 4 years and would not have been able to overcome the many obstacles in my path, had it not been for her. She gives every patient her personal and professional attention, with a smile on her face. She is attentive, informative and has made navigating life after spine surgery, seem hopeful. Be it prescription requests, insurance authorizations or an empathetic ear to hear your concerns, she has given this orthopedic office an edge above all others. Thank you!

I was in a car accident exactly 2 weeks ago Today. 10/13/19 I’ve had nothing but bad luck trying to find a Dr in general on such short notice, let alone a specialist! A Dr who specializes in spine treatment and pain., not a P.A. or N.P. I am on a 14 day time frame with the other parties insurance co. Otherwise my medical coverage goes down significantly. On top of being in such excruciating pain from this accident, to add insult to injury I am a full time cosmetologist and work 10-12 hour- 5 days a week standing on my feet behind the chair, and I run a business that I just can’t walk away from. One of my clients and her husband, who has been treated by Dr. Atwater for years.. had nothing but amazing reviews! She called on Friday explaining my dilemma. Dr. Atwater and his staff are so caring and understanding to real life situations.. they got me an Appointment within a 3 day window. I am so excited to meet this wonderful man whom I’ve so heard so many great things about, along with his reviews! I sure hope he can treat me and manage my pain temporarily without jumping right into a back or neck surgery like most Dr’s.. I’m only 35. I will respond back with a review after my appointment! Thanks a Million Dr. Atwater!
