Dr Deckey is simply the best. He was the 3rd surgeon i had consulted with. Im 32 and have been dealing with back pain for about a decade. The last 2 years have been filled with severe pain, all types of conservative treatments (countless spine injections, numerous nerve root ablations, PT, massage, yoga, meds, etc) all of which failed and i continued to get worse.
During the consult we discussed the 2 spinal anomalies that i have, along with degenerative changes, bone spurs, and herniated discs. He mentioned that im so young to have so many issues/such great pain (the same as the first 2 surgeons, except with those 2, the convo ended there). Dr deckey continued..."i believe your pain is real. I want to help you. I just dont wamt to rush into surgery without knowing for sure or with more confidence where your pain is coming from." I knew right then this was my dude! He didnt write me off...HE WANTS TO HELP ME!
We came up with a plan that included me getting another facet injection in 1 vertebral joint only, to use as a diagnostic tool. Luckily he picked the right one the first time! Lol. Once it was convinced he had found the source of pain, we scheduled surgery. From consult to surgery, it took about 4 or 5 months, partly bc of scheduling issues with my pain specialist to get said spine injection. (Dr deckey doesnt do them). The last 2 months before surgery id gotten so bad that i had to leave work. I lived in bed for those months and it was hell! I literally couldnt sit for more than 30 minutes. Standing or walking? Forget it! I felt like a shell of a human being with nothing to offer anymore. All i could do was lie down.
I had an ALIF at L5-S1 in june of this year, and havent looked back. All though in the moment, waiting became frustrating and fed my hoplessness, im now forever grateful that dr deckey took the time to do the extra diagnostic testing. My leg pain is gone, my back pain is no where near what it used to be. Im working with my pain specialist on coming off of strong opiates after 2 years, I'm present in my friends lives, and i actually look forward to the future! I smile when its a beautiful day outside, instead of getting thrown into a tailspin of negative self talk about how useless I had become. Just this last weekend i got to be at my friend's son's 3rd bday party!
Dr deckey and his team are just incredible. There really is something to be said about a doctor that is so skilled at what he does, yet remains humble. My trust was well placed in the hands of dr deckey, and yours will be too, if you ever find yourself needing an orthopedic/spine surgery.
Excellent care, very informative shows care and confidence , he has great bedside manners as well and professionalism

I have been a patient of Dr. Deckey since 2004. He worked with me four years before my first spine surgery, a 5-level cervical fusion. A few years later a 5-level lumber fusion was required, followed up with a third 5-level fusion above the lumber. Dr. Deckey has kept me up-right and walking. He has treated me with respect, compassion, and remarkable skill. His staff, from the front office, to the PA, and Carmen have been nothing but excellent for these years. I'm suffering again with complications, I live out of state now and after calling Carmen I had the approval for new MRI tests in one day. I look forward to seeing Dr. Deckey in March, 2018, and solving these new problems.
The best. Scheduling and getting calls back from his staff was tough and you have to be persistent. But Deckey and his PA are the best. You are in good hands with him.
