Dr. Gabriel did my 3 level cervical spinal fusion. I happened upon this page looking for his phone number. Probably 12-14 yrs ago I consulted with him after another surgeon was scheduling my surgery & I came to him for a 2nd opinion. I chose him to do my surgery for many reasons. Not the main reason but a bonus was his plastic surgery experience. My neck scar is 100x better than all the others scars I've seen. Anyway, 2 months ago I broke my neck. Completely broke the bone away from c3 which is one of my fused vertebrae. Many of the doctors I saw during my hospital stay commented that my fusion held beautifully. The neurosurgeon requested Dr Gabriel name(I live in a different town now). Further said that it had to be the finest surgery he has come upon. The screws held up perfectly, no bending nor cracking of bone near the fusion. Even though I hit hard enough to break a bone completely away. I have always bragged about my surgeon & referred many people with neck injury/disease. I've never known anyone to be happy with any fusion, it won't make you young; after all you now have screws in your spine. However, I've always known I was the lucky one, even though it didn't make me 18 yrs old again. Important note: I followed his fully explained instructions to the letter after surgery. I always thought he did an excellent job on my neck. Now all these years later I KNOW IT TO BE FACT. I was probably 48 when I had my surgery I'm now 61. I hope to see him for a 2nd opinion. The 1st diagnosis was, I'm not a candidate for surgery this time because of the type break in my neck. I will take his opinion & feel confident.
He ruined my life. I ended up paralyzed from neck down due to his negligence and incompetence and never went to see me to tell me the truth. He lied in my medical record. Said he finished the decompression but I found out a year later that he didn't. Only interested in money. Don't give a blank about patient. He is a lyer and lacks compassion. His license should be revoked. Please, stay away from him.
