I went to a neurosurgeon because I have Degenerative disc disease. I have had a failed surgery in the past and was very reluctant to have surgery again. I also have another neurological condition which complicates my case. Dr. Sweeney not only listen to my concerns, he walked me through the procedure and had great bedside manor. He is very competent!!! and talented. After surgery he treated my family with respect and came to see me right after surgery and the next day. My surgery was a success!!
