I am 6 months into recovery from major back surgery performed by Dr. Eric Sunberg. I had a back fusion involving the L4-L5 discs. I had tried all other conservative treatments in addition to 4+ years of pain management, without any relief. I am very happy I had the surgery and I’m feeling better every month. It takes a full year for complete recovery, but I’m already doing activities that I could not do prior to the surgery. Dr. Sunberg is an excellent surgeon and his staff is exceptional. As good as he is, the patient has t... read more

I tried everything to alleviate my back pain - physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, epidurals, and spinal cord stimulator. I was reluctant, as I had back surgery nine years ago, to try that option again. However, Dr. Sundberg performed a complex front and back spinal fusion and three months later I am walking beaches and swimming, pain free. He is professional, straightforward and empathic. I give him and his staff five stars.

I suffered with sciatica pain down both legs for One year. I tried all the conventional therapies from physical therapy to acupuncture with poor results. All of my pain was gone immediately post surgery after Dr. Sundberg Replace the disk at the 04 L5 level and did a laminectomy. I’m two weeks postop with no pain except the usual discomfort following surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Sundberg.

My experience with Dr. Sundberg, his (Physician Assistant) Kristen, & staff at Coastal Orthopedic was absolutely phenomenal. Through testing & other procedures I was diagnose with cervical stenosis. The pain radiated from top of right arm to my fingertips. Hearing the word "surgery" was devastating. This was my first major surgery. The fear of such a delicate & precise surgery was daunting. I had my surgery in December 2019 & the experience from pre-op to post-op went so smoothly it was truly a miracle...absolutely no pain. ... read more

My experience with Dr Schafer was fantastic. He ordered an MRI right away which is what previous doctor SHOULD have done and saw a foreign body in my knee. Did surgery to remove it and clean up the meniscus and the leg is brand new! Thank you!

Dr Sundberg and his entire staff are so very courteous and helpful. I had a Herniated Disc which caused horrible pain. Dr Sundberg did surgery and after 6 weeks of therapy and I am doing so good. I can’t thank everyone of the people who helped me so much.
