Dr. Cheng W Tao

Excellent! Suffered for 10 years following a rear end collision with a truck. Saw many doctors had 6 rounds of physical therapy. Pain loss was temporary. I was taking 800 mg of ibuprofen just to be able to get out of bed and to diminish pain enough to get on and off the toilet. Finally in 2015 my toes went numb. Saw Dr. Tao. A life sav er. Surgery was on a Tuesday. Released on a Saturday. No pain meds at all for the past 7 years. No back aches either. I truly thank God for him!!!

I visited Spine and Neuro around the end of 2016 and this guy wanted to schedule surgery for me right out of the gate. My MRI was bad but I never got the chance to see it. SMH. According to Tao, my vertebrae were rubbing my spinal cord. I was told, "There's a risk of being paralyzed if you don't have the surgery." I requested to be sent for therapy at Nesin and I was told, "The Dr wouldn't tell you you needed surgery, if you didn't." More high pressure... After 4 visits for therapy, I could tell a huge difference. Before therapy, I had headaches and neck aches 4-5 days a week and now, I may have one a month. I have yet to have neck surgery. I'll take my chances elsewhere next time. I visited Spine and Neuro around the end of 2016 and this guy wanted to schedule surgery for me right out of the gate.

Waited 2hrs 15mins just to see this doctor. Only after the same wait time for xrays, and MRI. Dr. Tao finally came in and talked for less than 5 mins and tried to leave two times but I had questions about a bulging disk. In the end he just ordered PT. I've had two other fusions and my spine surgeon back home was incredible, this guy I will not go back to. Waited 2hrs 15mins just to see this doctor. Only after the same wait time for xrays, and MRI.

Awesome job by Dr. Tao and the whole crew! Couldn’t have asked for better surgery and after care. Would recommend Dr. Tao to anyone suffering back issues! Thank you!!

Dr. Tao saved my life. He’s an excellent surgeon and has a great bedside manner. He and his staff are very professional and caring. They were always available to answer any of my questions. I thank God for him and his staff daily❤️????❤️????❤️????

We thought Dr. Tao was a neurosurgeon who specialized in spinal cord procedures, we were wrong. He's merely another pain Dr. who is afraid to do any surgeries and would rather push opioids and steroid shots. My wife has debilitating cervicogenic headaches that mimic migraines with moderate herniated discs in 13 different vertebrae including 4 of the cervical area. Dr Tao decided her symptoms were not worthy of surgery or any long term fix. All he offered was pain management and epidurals.

Dr. Tao saved my life. I thank God for him daily. He and his staff are so professional and caring.

The worst experience I have ever had. Do not use these people

May be good at what they do, the doctors. But very unprofessional, making clients, patient's wait endlessly, whether in lobby and then in exam rooms. Ridiculous! Especially when in pain and anxious already.

I went and met Dr Tao today and didn't wait very long and he was very nice and detailed for what was gonna happen for me and honest

Dr. Tao is fantastic. He is listens and is good at what he does. The girls at the ck in and ck out are very polite. BUT.......I would not even give below a star! Dr. Tao's PA is just simple rude! The issue is that you never get in at your schedule appt, normally an 1.5 wait before you are called to see the doctor, the blame would have to go to the Office Manager, patients should be called and told that their appt will be an hr late and don't schedule 7:30 appts when they open the doors at 7:30, that is when the snowball effect starts.

People really just like to complain about any and everything. He performed neck surgery on my daughter after a terrible accident and did a great job!! He was also very nice anytime we ever spoke and he checked up on her through the duration of her hospital stay...up to the day we left. I found his personality to be one of the best of all the doctors that worked with my daughter. Take these other reviews with a grain of salt. A long wait in a doctor's office is nothing unusual and really has nothing to do with the quality of work or care. People really just like to complain about any and everything.

I wish that everyone that had a good experience with Dr. Tao wrote a review, instead of those with just complaints. He is a great physician!

First I waited for almost 3 hrs for a first visit with him that lasted 7 min with his nurse practitioner and 3 min with him. I knew I didn't need surgery, I am a nurse I did my homework. I had a previous fusion in the cervical area and am having problems. I also have bulging lumbar areas. Already had MRI's and X-rays,. Smart enough to read the report. Wanted to talk physiology and long term prognosis. Also I waited for two months for this to get better, did exercises specific. Upset.
