Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very Happy Outcome!
I can honestly say that Dr Moss saved my life. I had a neck fusion and then a revision of a past lumbar fusion I had in 2016. I was in so much pain and suffered from so many serious and life-altering spinal conditions including: central and peripheral spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and degenerative scoliosis. Dr. Moss had to perform 2 separate procedures 2 days apart. I’m still recovering, but I’m off strong pain relievers and when and I am no longer bent over. No more spinal stenosis. No more spondylolisthesis. No more degenerative scoliosis. This surgeon was very dedicated to fixing my spine. I cannot thank him enough.

Dr Moss brought me back to golf.
I had siatic nerve problems. Couldn’t stand or walk without lots of discomfort. Tried lots of things to solve the problem, do nothing, physical therapy, meditation, cortisone, still pain. Finally went to Dr Moss in 2016. His surgery gave me back my life. Golfing 4 times a week here in the Sunshine state thanks to him. He’s best.

Lumbar Spinal Fusion
Dr. Moss and his entire team are very patient centric. They consistently listen to all concerns and address each one. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Moss clearly identified his approach ad expected outcomes. Follow up appointments addressed all issues and concerns and appropriately assigned next steps for me to follow.

Life altering surgery to return back to normal!
I lived in chronic pain from age 14 when scoliosis began. Later at 18 I had severe pain and sciatica. Over the years it would come and go. Physical Therapy, and ultimately some steroid injections and nerve blocks didn’t touch the pain anymore. I was recommended to see Dr Moss after being told that surgery was too risky by other Orthopedic Surgeons. I couldn’t believe multiple times that my spine was dismissed by any others that it was too deformed. I was told to use a wheelchair. At 54 a wheelchair 90% of the time. Cane or walker. I had an MRI & a consultation with Dr Moss. He explained clearly to me what he could do with compassion. He performed this surgery on my severe stenosis & didn’t go beyond what was necessary. After healing from major open surgery, I have absolutely no pain down the legs and feet or back. My hips feel great.No sciatica. Now 6 mo later, so grateful for his skill. Decompression & fusion of L4, L5 -SI worked perfectly for me! I fully trust him and recommend!

Back fusion with Dr Mosd
My visits with Dr Moss have always been a pleasure. He has done 2 procedures on my back now and I would never trust anyone else. He is the very best neurologist surgeon. I came to him the 2nd time in a wheelchair and on very strong opiates. I am now walking on my own...no came, walker or wheelchair and am weaning off the opiates will be opiate free in a month or 2. Not to mention...everyone says my back is a lot straighter and I walk perfectly with no limp on the left side. Am so very happy with the surgery and my recovery. Thank you so very much Dr Moss!!

Dr. Moss and his staff treated me amazing before, during, and after the surgery. Prior to seeing Dr. Moss many doctors were unable to fix my lower back pain, which resulted into 20 years of pain. Since the surgery I have been pain free, and that I am truly grateful for. Dr. Moss and his staff not only made my experience great but they also made my back feel amazing. Because of him, I will be able to run around with my grand kids pain free! Much love my brother.

After my lumbar fusion, family and friends could not believe how quickly my recuperation was; and that I attributed to the skill of Dr. Isaac and his team, both pre- and postoperatively. Since then, three people have been referred for consultation to Dr. Isaac after seeing my outcome. In addition, his office staff is outstanding behind the scenes in managing the necessary paperwork. A win-win all around!

I have had back problems from sports and heavy lifting for most of my life. I had previous surgery and needed for the doctor to listen to a recommendation from a former surgeon. Other doctors tended to ignore me as I explained what my first surgeon had suggested that was particular about me. Dr. Moss had an attitude that the more information the better and not only listened to me but took steps to insure that it would not be a problem. I am pain free now and can walk again.
