"I had thoracic and lumbar surgery performed by Dr. Brian O'Shaughnessy. From my very first appointment with him, I knew my back problems were finally going to be corrected. He sat down with me, explained everything thoroughly, and told me that my original lumbar surgery had not been done properly, but he could fix it along with the issues in my thoracic region.

He looked me in the eye and said, “I will fix it, and your problems will be over and done." He has kept that promise. I now stand upright, walk normally without limping, and have a smooth, confident gait.

I felt very confident after my first meeting with Dr. O'Shaughnessy, and he delivered on every word. For that, I am truly grateful to him and to the wonderful staff at Howell Allen Clinic. After suffering for two and a half years in pain and walking bent over, I finally feel like a new man.

Every day that passes, I find myself even more thankful to Dr. O'Shaughnessy and to everyone who supported me. My surgery was critical and complicated, yet he pulled it off flawlessly.

Dr. O'Shaughnessy, I cannot thank you enough for what you’ve done for me. I feel truly blessed to have had you as my neurosurgeon."

"I will never stop being grateful for Dr. Gordon. I had a spinal tumor significantly compressing my spinal cord. He validated my pain and offered solutions both in Nashville and back home if I wanted to have surgery there. Ultimately, I chose to have Dr. Gordon perform my surgery. His kind smile and reassurance of a positive outcome made the whole process so much easier.

I was in the hospital for 4 days following the operation and saw multiple doctors from the practice. All incredibly thorough and encouraging throughout the whole process.

I am in nursing school and Dr. Gordon listened to all of my concerns and was willing to work with my schedule so that I could successfully complete that semester. He and his office staff have inspired an interest in neurosurgery and operating room nursing. I would be nothing less than honored to one day work with Dr. Gordon. Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Gordon!

His office staff reply promptly and I never wait more than 15 minutes in the waiting room. Incredibly kind staff!"
