I saw Dr. Evans in 1992. My C5 cervical vertebrae had ruptured into my spinal column. He didn't do a MRI for 11 months. Then when he finally did the MRI, he saw the ruptured disc. He scheduled surgery and one hour prior to surgery said he had decided to put a Titanium Plate in my neck for stability. I trusted him, thinking he must know what would help the most. Post operatively I could not move my neck. He had put the plate in that was too big, it impinged on the vertebrae above and below. I had no Range of Motion for four years, while he continued telling me it was all in my head. Then I found a doctor in another county, Los Angeles who informed me that a one level fusion never uses a plate. Plating is for multiple level fusions. This Surgeon was a spinal specialist named Dr. Robert Watkins. He informed me the plating was too large, should never had been installed in my neck because it was a one level fusion and needed to be removed to regain my range of motion in my neck. I found a spinal specialist, Dr. Neil White who removed the plating in the county I lived...and it took a year of physical therapy to regain the range of motion due to the adhesions from four years of the plate in my neck. It was the worst pain during those four years plus another to get the ROM back. Dr. Ewald never apologized or acknowledged what he did. He was an awful doctor who doesn't care about his patients, and I would never recommend any go to him.

Dr Ewald opersted on both of my legs in 1975 when NO other surgeon would even attempt the operation. If it was not for Dr Ewalds brilliance and generousity I would not have spent the last 40 yrs of my life walking.

They've never used foul language, which has bothered me at some of the other places I've been too. They always make an extra effort to be polite and courteous. They do such a great job of never overbooking appointments, even though they are extremely popular. I know for a fact that they have lots of business, but I've never had to wait a long time in a crowded waiting room like other places I've been too. They were so easy to reach in an emergency, they answered my call immediately. It is a relief to know that I can count on them to always be there for me when I need them the most. They are completely committed to helping me as long as it takes to find the best solution. I never have to worry that they'll back out or give up if a solution isn't reached immediately, which has been a problem for me at other places. They explained all the risks and benefits of my treatment options. Everything was explained in detail, all my questions were answered, and I felt a lot better about choosing a treatment plan.

Dr. Ewald operated on my son for Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease back in 1975. He did an absolutely outstanding job, and he has been our idol and hero for all of these years. His expertise and kindness were wonderful for my 8 year old son. We wish that we could find him now to give him big bear hugs! No doctor in the world could have done a better job!
