Dr. Laratta and Dr. Shillingford have explain to me the ALIF surgery they are both very professional and have answered all my questions. I’m very confident in both of their skills. The office staff is very helpful and kind and I’m ready to be pain-free!

Dr Laratta is excellent about listening and letting me ask questions. He doesn’t rush me. My surgeries have gone very well and I highly recommend him. I wouldn’t change a thing. He does listen and answer all my questions. I’ve had doctors in the past who did not do that. So it’s extremely important to me.

Dr. Shillingford is a wonderful surgeon. I had a spinal fusion and it's really made my life better before I couldn't walk without pain going throughout my back and legs and since the surgery everything has just gotten better for me. I'm super appreciative of all he has done for me and for how nice and friendly his staff has been. I would recommend anyone thats having back problems to be seen by him.

Dr Laratta came through for me during a difficult time in my life. I had constant nerve pain that traveled down my left leg and never went away. He went out of his way to meet with me and provide a temporary solution until we could do surgery. Immediately following surgery the nerve pain was gone, after 4 months of constant pain, I was pain free. He is a large saver.

Dr Shillingford has amazing bedside manners! He takes time to explain everything and you do not feel rushed! He makes you feel like you have known each other for a while. This practice is definitely the best around!

Dr.Laratta was great!!!! He saved my husband from being in a wheel chair for the rest of his life. Dr. Laratta was very personable and explained my husband's surgery to us and answered all our questions. He visited my husband every day in the hospital. We would highly recommend Dr. Laratta for spine surgery.

Dr Shillingford is one of the most precise surgeons I've ever encountered. Not only did he help my mother with an intense operation, he was one of the kindest and most professional MD's I've ever experienced. I would give him 10 stars if possible. Simply the best!

My pain is under control now all thanks to the amazing Dr Larratta! I have been suffering with back pain for many many years. My pain became so bad that I could no longer walk anymore untill I met Dr. Laratta, what a miracle worker he is! So far just milled pain. Thank you Dr. Laratta!!

Had a very painful lower back issue. After fusion surgery and recovery I feel better than I have in years. Dr. Shillingford is a fantastic surgeon and over all great person who actually listens to what you have to say. I would wholeheartedly recommend him.

He deserves more than 5 stars He was great from the moment he walked into my room to the moment he walked out. He explained everything to me He didn’t talk down to me and didn’t talk over my head. Great personality and seems very caring. He explained everything to me! I would recommend him! I’m looking forward to the future with Dr Laratta!

I saw Dr. Shillingford for back pain. I had such a wonderful experience I recommended my wife who had horrible neck pain. She would stay up crying from constant headaches and pain. She was missing work and time with our kids. I finally convinced her to make an appointment. She is so glad she did. The holidays were the best we have had in years! We absolutely love him. He deserves more than 5 stars!
