Kissel Phillip MD - San Luis Obispo (CA)

5 /5 Vivian Borden: Surgery performed successfully on a tumor on the thoracic spine. Dr. Kissel is professional, very friendly, and very well respected. Hes the best. Highly recommend.

5 /5 Lynne Harrington: I was diagnosed with a tumor inside my spinal canal pushing on my spinal cord. I got in touch with Dr. Kissel for a second opinion (the first opinion involved a fusion). Dr. Kissel did not feel a fusion was necessary. He did a laminectomy and excised the tumor. I had zero complications. Dr. Kissel explained everything very thoroughly to myself and my husband. He answered all questions honestly. The surgery was very successful and the pain management I received in the hospital was well planned. He visited me multiple times in the hospital and had several follow up calls post surgery. He approved all of the time off work that I needed as well as the physical therapy. For being such a serious and scary medical issue, Dr. Kissel made it as smooth as possible. I am so appreciative of his expertise and care.

5 /5 Erin Johnson: Dr. Kissel and his staff are amazing! I had a herniated disc and was having horrible nerve pain for months. He really took his time to explain everything that was wrong and what he would do to correct it. I never felt rushed out of the office like I have with other doctors in the past. He was very kind and showed he really cared. His staff was very kind as well. I didnt have to wait long to have my surgery and it went well. I have zero nerve pain and can finally walk and stand without that horrible pain. I am so grateful for that! If you need back surgery, I highly recommend him.
