Dr. Stefan Prada, MD

Dr. Prada performed surgery on my lower back first. Four days later he performed surgery on my neck. Right after and the next day I had ZERO pain. I did not take any pain meds after surgery. I had not been able to stand up without pain in 13 months. The next day I felt like I had not had surgery and could walk and stand without any pain. The neck surgery was a bit more because it is much closer to the brain. It did come with pain however the pain meds were not beneficial, but I had some muscle relaxers which helped with the neurological pain and getting sleep. Getting good sleep will help manage the pain during the day. The neurological pain lasted about 10 days but when it left, it was gone. Both incisions (one from each surgery) are minimal and very small.Dr. Prada is a very precise and compassionate doctor. He made me feel cared about and important. He made the entire situation so much easier than I ever expected. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Prada for your spine surgery needs.

Outstanding results! I delayed my procedure for months as I was very apprehensive about having a neck procedure after a car accident. However it had to be done and I honestly wish I hadn’t waited. Instant relief! I was absolutely impressed that with all the instructions and explanations from the staff- it was 100% true. Very easy procedure. Very limited pain and I was back to work shortly after the procedure. I definitely followed all his instructions and 8 weeks later I am still in great health and feel great!I would 100% recommend Dr Prada and his staff, they are amazing!Don’t delay like I did! Get it done and feel the relief!

After six consultations with other surgeons, I met with Dr. Prada, and from the very beginning, his approach stood out.He took the time to thoroughly explain why his surgical plan was different from the others I had received.His reasoning was clear, well-founded, and gave me confidence that his approach was the right one for my condition.The result:a surgery that has improved my mobility and significantly reduced my constant pain—both continue to improve each day.Dr. Prada initially estimated that full benefits would take 6–12 months, and at just four months post-surgery,I can already see major progress.Beyond his his surgical expertise,what truly sets Dr. Prada apart is the level of care and respect he and his team provide.From the first appointment through surgery,aftercare, and follow-ups,I have been treated with genuine concern and professionalism.His office continues to check in on my progress, which is a rare and invaluable aspect of patient care these days.

Dr. Prada at Orthopedic 360 is an outstanding orthopedic specialist and surgeon. He genuinely listens to your concerns and has an incredible team that maintains constant communication throughout your care. After being in a semi-truck accident, I was relieved that he took the time to hear my full story and consider every detail.Ironically, I struggle with anxiety—particularly driving anxiety—so I was extremely nervous about undergoing neck and back ablation surgery. However, Dr. Prada and his team eased my fears by thoroughly addressing all my concerns and even showing me a video demonstration of the procedure. Thanks to their support, I experienced zero anxiety on the day of surgery, which was truly remarkable.I highly recommend Orthopedic 360! Melissa, who works with Dr. Prada, was an absolute blessing—she was always available via text, making communication effortless. She made us feel like family, and that level of care made all the difference.

I never considered spinal surgery. It was such a scary thought for me that I avoided it at all costs. After an auto accident I was in so much pain that I needed to look for options because I could barely do daily tasks without a lot of pain. When Dr. Prada explained the ablation procedure, I saw a non-invasive option that could help me and alleviate some of the pain and I dove in headfirst because I could not wait to get some relief. It has been two weeks since the procedure and the difference is night and day! I can do daily tasks, and I feel so much better that I would do it again if I must. Dr. Prada and his team are such a great team of knowledgeable and sweet people that they made the process so much easier! Thank you all so much!

At your first visit, Dr. Prada will already be familiar with your file. He will take his time with you and he's a master diagnostician. If you have surgery with his team, you will have a swift recovery and your only regret will be not having had it sooner.

I was in alot of pain and could not sleep, I received a thorough understanding of the proposed procedure and all my questions were answered, I watched an animated movie of what would happen.I received everything to make a informative decision and now I sleep well, only have a small amount of recovery pain that I anticipate to disappear as time passes and my body heals.I recommend Dr Prada, he did what be does best. Thank you.

I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Prada for his help after my car accident, which left my neck in a terrible state with pinched nerves. After surgery, I was finally able to sleep and work without pain. I’m really glad that Dr. Prada was my surgeon, and I would recommend him to everyone.Michelle and the entire staff, both in the office and at the surgery location, were amazing throughout the entire process—before, during, and after my surgery. Thank you all for your outstanding care!

I had an accident I went to see Doctor PRADA I was very scared but I did it and I feel much better if you have doubts don't worry they're in good hands I recommend Doctor PRADA everything worked out very well with me and I'm sure with you too

After i had an accident i was unable to stand up straight for a month, long wait times for tests in Canada i contacted Dr Prada. Michelle and the staff were amazing as they had tests and surgery required all done in 2 weeks. I was able to walk away after surgery with minimal pain and smiling from relief .Honestly i feel like i won the Superbowl .All staff members throughout were outstanding and very informative I can not say thank you enough. God bless you all.

Can not say enough about Dr. Prada and his staff. From the first phone call to Michelle and viral call from Dr. Prada. I knew instantly they are there to help people. Michelle is great to work with, will text or call you back within the day. She was very informative up to the day of the surgery she was right there, through surgery and any questions anytime during day or night through my recovery time. Will never forget, they took time to pray with us. Dr. Prada takes time to explain things, very informative. I had Laminotomy & Foraminotomy surgery on my neck. Injury happened about 4 years ago. Had another flare-up in July, pain in shoulder and down my arm. So I decided to make the appointment. Best decision I could make. We are from Ohio, and decided to make the trip to Florida. Flew down on Tues. and back on Friday. Went to work on Monday. Why I did not do this 4 yrs. ago. Did not want to go through surgery with plates, bolts and 2-3 in. cut, and long recovery time. Highly recommend.

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Prada and his amazing assistant Michelle as well as the rest of the staff for their exceptional care and compassion. From our first meeting, it was clear we were in the hands of a truly remarkable medical professional and devoted team. Dr. Prada combines medical expertise with genuine empathy, always taking the time to listen, explain treatment options, and ensured our comfort and understanding.Their unwavering commitment to personalized patient care made us feel like a top priority, providing immense comfort during challenging times. Thanks to Dr. Prada's is staff’s dedication, I have seen significant improvements in my health and well-being. If you seek a medical professional who embodies both skill and heartfelt compassion, Dr. Prada and team are the one. I as well as my wife and kids are forever grateful for the difference they have made in our lives. Allowing us to enjoy life once more after more the 20 plus years of living in chronic back pain.

In 2023, I had a car accident that caused injuries to my neck and lower back. These lacerations affected my daily life with constant pain. Dr. Prada evaluated me and after some studies he recommended laser surgery on my lower back and repair of 2 hernias on the c7-c8. Both surgeries were under general anesthesia and were a success. I feel like I have a new body, I am no longer suffering from pain that robs me of sleep and I feel full of strength to live fully. Back pain robs you of joy, energy and limits you. I am so grateful to this special team of professionals for guiding me, taking care of me, alleviating my pain, I will be eternally grateful to God for putting them in my path. Nobody wants to go through surgical procedures, it scares us, everything that is unknown is scary. There was Melissa Watkins like an angel all the time. He mentioned it because without it it would have been very difficult. She guided me, answered my questions, always helpful, professional. Thank you!

Dr Prada is a very knowledgeable and kind surgeon that guided me through a minimally invasive procedure for my back pain. I had constant back pain due to herniated discs for about 3 years before having surgery done. The difference in my pain is night and day, I feel so much better and am so thankful for going through with the surgery!

As a USMC Veteran with a history of injury, I was apprehensive about undergoing another surgery near areas affected by combat trauma. However, Dr. Prada and his team were not only highly professional but also attentive to my health and concerns. They provided thorough explanations of what to expect before and after the procedure. Their empathy and care made me feel reassured and confident that I was in excellent hands.Highly recommend!- Ryan L.

Dr. Prada and the staff were amazing. I was involved in an accident a few months ago and was seeking a second opinion when I met the team. Dr Prada reviewed my file and was very informative in letting me know his genuine opinion on outcomes and expectations. He recommended a much better procedure and solution. My fears about having surgery were squashed immediately after listening to his explanations. I was extremely grateful when Dr. Prada gave me hope. Melissa was amazing and listened to my concerns when necessary to make sure I had all the necessary knowledge I needed. She made me very comfortable and confident in the process and made the entire process smooth. Nothing was rushed, the information was clear and genuine. I highly recommend Dr. Prada and his team from start to finish.

Nicole was also amazing as she was my initial contact with the clinic and the reason I pursued it. Nothing was rushed, the information was clear and genuine.

Explained the procedure he was recommending for me with his assistant Michelle in terms I could understand. easily. Explained the pro's and con's in terms I was able to understand for my post surgery recovery.

I recently had my left C3-C4 laminotomy foramniotomy with laser ablation done by Dr. Prada and what I can say I feel 100% better. I was in fact nervous and skeptical on getting it done, thinking I would be out months at a time but him and his team made me feel at ease and I was back up and moving within a week. Melissa also was a big help with communicating before, during, and after surgery. I highly recommend you or a family member whom seeking surgery to get it done, it was well worth it. Thank you so much Dr. Prada you and your staff is truly a blessing.

Dr. Prada performed surgery on my back, at first I was a little scared but the entire staff was so attentive that all of the nerves went away. I would definitely recommend this doctor and staff for anyone seeking surgery.
