Christopher Summa

Had back surgery many years ago and it was very successful. Had to have a disk removed and a cage installed. I was able to go back to work in months. Dr. Summa was very professional and courteous. He got me off pain meds very quickly and saved my career as a carpenter and craftsman. Could not be more happy with the results.

I went to Dr Summa as a last resort for surgery due to a pinched nerve between two of my vertebrae that caused me great pain from my back down my right leg to me toe. At the time I was 66. Dr. Summa said I want you to get on an exercise bike 3 times a week very hard. The pain started to reduce. Four months later I was on a vacation where there was no exercise bike. So I started to run 1 mile 3 times a week again. Now I am 71 and my pain is very much less . I am running M, W, F for 3 miles and biking very hard T, Th. Dr Summa cautioned me against surgery unless there is something I really cant do that I want to do. Dr Summa is a very quiet thoughtful human being who listens and carefully responds. He gets my highest rating whatever that is.

I got opinions from 3 different highly rated orthopedic surgeons for bad lower back pain. All recommended spinal fusion. I went to Dr Summa as my 4th opinion. He reviewed the other doctor's write-ups, my X-ray & MRI and said "I don't think the pain is coming from your back? I think it's your right hip!" Sure enough, I went to an ortho hip doctor & he confirmed I had a labral tear, bone spurs, and a compacted bursa. I'm now pain free. Dr Summa is an honest doctor - thank you Dr. Summa!

I have have nine surgeries over the years, I have had multiple procedures done at Stanford and UCSF, I have seen many specialists not only at all of the above facilitys but, locally as well. The point being, Dr. Suma is definitely one of the most conscientious, kind, grounded and more importantly is a excellent surgeons I have ever seen. Ask any medical professional or patient for that matter, in town and they will tell you, we are lucky to have Dr. Suma in Santa Cruz county. Love the guy..

I've had several surgeries w/ Dr Summa and I've no complaints. Always felt informed and comfortable after we both discuss the situation. Been through a lot w Dr and Surgeries and came out pleased given the circumstances.
