Stephen Jay Timon

Dr. Timon, was direct, confident, and by definition, a healer. My back was a mess, he was conservative in his approach, and I am 5+ years after surgery living a stronger, pain free life.

Not a long wait time. Very courteous and knowledgeable doctor and staff. Very pleased and relieved to see good, excellent practice again. Highly recommend.

Was recommended by a co-worker to Dr. Timon for recurring neck/back pain and constant arm numbness and tingling. Dr. Timon recommended non-surgical therapies first, but ultimately in my case an ACDF procedure was warranted. The day after the procedure, all the arm numbness was gone! Overall soreness to date has been as expected and tolerable. While only six weeks post surgery, I can see continuing improvement. I highly recommend Dr. Timon and his staff for their skills, thorough explanations, and overall concerns for my well being.

After suffering from neck pain for 25+ years and having many pain management procedures, Dr. Timon suggested the cervical fusion surgery. I was apprehensive at first due to the nature of the surgery, but had to do something else to eliminate or alleviate the pain. Having the surgery was the best decision of my life! It has been 3 months since the surgery and I am doing great. I completed 6 weeks of physical therapy and am continuing to do the exercises at home. I am glad I put my trust in Dr. Timon. I HIGHLY recommend him. He has completely changed my life.

I am very pleased with the diagnosis, pre and post operation treatment, and most of all with the fabulous results of the professional services that I received by from Dr. Timon and all his support staff at All Star Orthopedics. I had increasingly severe pain in my lower legs, ankles especially, and feet for about the past two years. Just standing hurt, let alone walking, driving, or simply trying to go someplace necessary. I was almost an invalid. Dr. Timon and his staff identified that I had disintegrating discs in my lower spine which were pinching nerves and causing pain from my lower back down to my feet. On November 1st, 2021, Dr. Timon and his superb staff preformed a L5/S1 fusion of my vertebrae. The 3 hour operation itself was painless. I then had about 24 hours in the recovery room whereby the hospital staff saw to my every need and addressed every issue I had immediately. The two years of debilitating pain in my legs, ankles, and feet was gone! Let me reiterate … “near constant pain ….completely gone!” No more pinched nerves!! It has been six weeks since my operation. During those 1st six weeks, I wore a back brace and had to be careful about not over stressing my body after the operation; while gradually increasing my daily activity. All went well. Today, I no longer wear a back brace as the vertebrae and the apparatus Dr Timon installed to fix my spine issues have begun fusing together, as planned. The total fusion process may take 6 to 9 months. However, already I walk over four miles every morning at a brisk pace as a daily start-up routine. And thereafter, my day progresses comfortably ….without me thinking about, and being, constantly in pain every step I take. Now, I’m living my life again as a very healthy and active 72 year young man. I call Dr. Timon a “Miracle worker”! He and his team are superb professionals; all who work together seamlessly … and successful improved my standard of life…. immensely! I am so very very appreciative of them all.

High level of friendly professionalism.

Staff friendly and efficient. The doctor was great! Personable. Explained diagnosis and findings so that I could understand. Laid out plan for care.

All Star Orthopedics, specifically Dr. Timon and his team, have been caring for me and my lower back for at least a decade. Everything is completely explained until I understand just what is happening there and what the plan is going forward. The approach has always been to do everything possible live comfortably and push the inevitable as far into the future as possible...never pressure to get surgery until I'm ready for it.

I’ve rarely given reviews, except for my Amazon purchases, but I as I stop to share my experiences regarding Dr. Timon and his staff I’m truly a little teary-eyed. As a woman of color in America, it is sometimes difficult to expose the fear we carry for healthcare and the trepidation that comes with expecting a doctor to genuinely care. Dr. Timon is truly an empathetic gentleman who understands that his experiences guide his expertise. While I want a doctor who knows his science, can explain it to me, and can illustrate with data, I’m overjoyed to have one who does not make me feel like a bag of bones in a lab. This practice exemplifies patience, maturity, educative care and kindness. We all could use more peace amidst the pain and I’m truly at ease knowing I’ve been able build trust and rely on Dr. Timon’s knowledge and skills. I’ve also appreciated him sharing some of his personal bouts with back injury and I have been extremely encouraged by his weight loss and outlook on health. It reminds me that in our humanity, each new day is another chance to be better! This office is also very officious with sharing details of MRI scans and makes use of technology in a way that helps discussions flow naturally. During my 1st scan, Dr. Timon said “take out your phone and take a picture. That’s how you look in the inside”! I truly do look at my x-rays and MRI and from his notes, I always know what the matter is… and that makes a difference in how I experience pain. I’m able to consider the spaces I normally wouldn’t.

Dr Timon is a life savor! He explains everything so you understand it. He saved my life!! You want someone reputable, knows what there doing and has a good bed side manor then he’s your surgeon!

Waited in lobby for a whole lot longer than I had wished but Dr Timon and staff made up for it with all their info. Dr Timon was straight forward and honest with my diagnosis.

Always a great experience. Everybody is very friendly, professional, and helpful. This is my second surgery with Dr. Timon and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dr Timon is so personable and caring. I feel it was definitely divine intervention that God sent me to him! My neck was in terrible shape and did not even realize how much at risk I was of being paralyzed! But Dr Timon and his staff took such good care of me, I was never in very much pain at all! Thank you so much Dr Timon! ❤️❤️❤️ I had a cervical fusion, which sounds really scary! But I was in good hands. ???? So very thankful! Dr Timon is so personable and caring.

I had called a month ago to make sure they took my insurance before calling my GP to have the referral sent. When it was sent and I followed up with them, they said it had been done incorrectly so I had GP redo. Then, when I called they said they did not take my insurance. Their office incompetence has caused me a delay of weeks to get into a back doctor and a lot of wasted effort for my GP.

It's been six years since my neck fusion, I'm so thankful for this doctor! Outstanding!

Certain situations in life require nothing less than the absolute best. Treatment for your back is one of them. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, and neither should you.

These guys and gals are fantastic. I hate dr stuff & they have been great. I’ve used them for almost ten years. From back issues to knee issues. They’ll take care of ya.

Referred to Timon when our excellent pain management doctor was at the end of non-surgical alternatives. From the beginning he was patient and kind with our 18 year old. Not in a rush to the surgery room, but not afraid to pursue the best treatments. We don’t want to be in this situation! But we are so glad to have Dr Timon by our side.

I came to see Dr Timon a couple of years ago for back issues. He work with me knowing my fear of surgery and gave me alternate options. Once I had exhausted them, at no fault of theirs, I was a candidate for surgery. I couldn't be happier with the results tgat I have gotten.

Very professional, fantastic staff, put me at ease with the procedure that was being performed. Would highly recommend Dr Timon for any spinal problems.

I had both back and neck done several years ago and Dr. Timon is the best I can do more than I did. He gave me my life back. I recommend him to everyone.

After several months of shoulder, neck and arm pain I visited Dr. Timon. He suggested neck fusion, I was apprehensive, but the pain had grown to the point that I was willing to try anything. I agreed to the surgery and it was the best decision I could have made. From the time I woke up in recovery to now (3 months later) my pain level has been zero and never had to take pain medicine. I would suggest this procedure and this Doctor to anyone who has the similar need.

Multiple appts, but ultimately we fused C5/C6/C7 as well as are treating the rupture of L5/S1. We tried less invasive injections which aggravated my issue and Dr. Timon explained our next steps and put my mind at ease with concerns because of the type of procedure. He sat, explained, and made sure I didn't have any questions or concerns. It wasn't rushed and I felt like I was his #1 priority at each appt. The office visits were always on time, if not a few minutes early and everyone in the office has always been very helpful and always follow up with prescription refills or other needs.

Dr, Timon showed perfect interest in my surgery before, during and after. His staff of PAs and office were great, I would personally recommend him to everyone that would consider having neck or back surgery. I believe that I received the very best care in the metro-plex Thanks to DR Timon and his staff (very wonderful people) again thanks

ABSOLUTELY the best. Could not have been a better experience every step of the way!!!

Dr. Timon was very knowledgeable and professional in his work with me. I would highly recommend him for a surgery of this type.

This guy is amazing. Cannot say enough of his professionalism. I would highly recommend him

Great Dr. who is compassionate and considerate of athletes’ long term health and was highly recommended by several doctors.

I met Dr. Timon 10 years ago when I needed neck surgery. He is very knowledgeable and speaks to you, so you understand exactly what is going on and why you have an issue. Unfortunately, because of age and genetics I required more surgery, 10 years later. The surgery went well again- super actually! Dr.Timon and his staff are wonderful. There was relief immediately after surgery. And again , everything was explain in detail so that I understood. Very pleased.

Would not recommend. Was told on first visit that I had to have blood work done but was not told that blue cross blue shield did not cover cost of blood work and that it would be $9,116.30 billed to me. I have left 6 messages with doctor office with 0 return calls. Don't go unless you have $9k to throw out the window.

I am so happy to have found AllStar Orthopaedics! Dr Timon and his PA’s were amazing. Right from the 1st meeting, he showed us visuals to help us understand exactly what was wrong and why I was having pain. The day of surgery, I was very nervous. He was very compassionate and kind in helping to reassure me for my 1st ever surgery. Now 6 weeks after surgery, I am almost pain free. Way better than I could have imagined. Im so thankful to Dr Timon and his staff.

I was suffering crippling pain in my back. Dr. Timon’s office got me in quickly. The initial conservative treatment was helpful, and when Dr. Timon recommended surgery I knew it was time. I woke up from surgery free of the previous pain. I was walking and active like I had never had an issue at all. The staff at All Star Orthopaedics were wonderful. Surgery planning was smooth, appointments, x-rays, etc. were easy and the PA’s were awesome. I got my life back!

Dr. Timon did my neck surgery in 2015. Then in 2018 Dr.Timon did my back surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Timon and his staff. I pray I would never have another surgery, but if I do, I would only use Dr. Timon for my neck or back. I am 8 weeks out from my back surgery and I feel like new!

Dr. Timon and his staff are very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Dr. Timon recommended that I be treated non-operatively and I followed his instructions. The physical therapy and exercises are not easy, but within a few weeks I was back to normal with zero pain.

I suffered for years with terrible back pain starting with a bulge in the L4-L5 area. I would get injections occasionally with temporary relief for spans that shortened over time. I eventually ruptured the disc, the pain was excruciating and injections were no help. Dr. Timon recommended and then performed a Lumbar Laminectomy. I was walking the day of surgery as part of the healing process. Following the prescribed walking schedule, I healed quickly. That was 3 years ago and I have not ha

This was the best experience I have ever had with a doctor! Attentive, knowledgeable, kind, empathetic and professional. Totally comfortable and I left feeling cared for.

Used this in network provider for services. Provider decided to use an out of network lab leaving me with a ridiculously large bill. Office constantly gives you the run around, and passes you off to someone else who never calls back. If you'd like billing headaches and all other facilities are unavailable then use them but this office has been nothing but issues since day one. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Saw Dr Timon with radiating pain in my right Arm. He saw that my C5 was collapsed and said that correlated with my complaints. Looked no more. Right after I woke up from surgery, no change in my arm pain. 4 weeks of calling his office and complaining He sent me for a total of 5 INJECTIONS and 2 steroid packs which none helped. 4 week check up he said I would have to live with the pain. New Dr saw many bone spurs left and c3 was unstable had anterior/posterior c3-c6 fusion. My arms feeling better

Dr. Timon is exceptional. I've been a patient of his for about 6 years now and can honestly say I trust him with my life. Why see anyone else when we have such a highly accomplished physician in the DFW area who teaches his peers to perform spinal & neck procedures? Also, he has a tremendous, compassionate personality. He puts his patients first. He had to postpone my surgery due his family member passing away and he paid for my sisters airfare to change so she could reschedule to be with me.

Dr. Timon got right to the point. His first course of action was to try alternative routes before surgery. When those did not help, we decided on surgery. He and his staff were professional and did an amazing job on my back. I have feeling in my legs again with no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Timon.

Dr Timon did my L4-L5 fusion and caused a significant dural tear and permanent nerve injury. Surgical nerve injury caused me to loose feeling in my leg and foot and now damaged nerves cause constant back spasms. He assured me before surgery risks were low and since he had only every caused 7 dural tears in his career, it wouldn't happen to me-but it did and now I am far more disabled than before I saw him. He talks great as a surgical salesman, but fails to follow thru on his errors.

I recently had back surgery to repair the damage from 2 herniated discs. I had a fusion from L3 to L5 performed. Dr. Timon and his staff could not have been more supportive or caring. From the moment I first entered his offices to the follow up appointments after the surgery he/they never failed to answer all my questions and completely explain everything. His/their bedside manner could not have been better. I highly recommend Dr. Timon to anyone who is seeking relief to their back pain. T

If you are looking for a Great Surgeon Dr Timon is who you want. He and his surgical team are amazing!! They listen to your every concern and then address them. They operated on my neck and 3 years later they did a 360 surgery on my back. They gave me back my life both times. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Timon and his team!!!!

After having him as my second opinion on my original surgery I would have chosen him first. He recognized the incredible pain I was in even before I really did. I did not present with any easy case but Dr. T and staff did a fantastic job of repairing and healing my injury. Their follow up care was top notch. He was wonderful in the hospital and the surgery has left me pain free for the first time in decades. I really cannot say enough good things. He is a very gifted and talented surgeon.

Dr. Timon performed a TLIF Fusion on my L3-4. I am six weeks post op and am feeling much better than before the surgery. I am able to walk 2 miles at a time. Dr. Timon diagnosed and explained all of my options. The surgery went without any problems. Pine Creek Medical Center was great. I had round the clock care for two nights after the surgery. Pain management was well though out and very effective. Dr Timon has surrounded himself with an excellent team. The whole experience was great.

By the time I found Dr. Timon, I was pretty educated regarding the treatment for this type back issue. My Family Doctor referred me to him, and when we met he was very thorough in his approach, careful in his assessment, but by the time all the facts were in he was no-nonsense in his actions. "You need surgery." Is what I remember, then he let me know THIS is his area of expertise and when finished I would walk and stand without back pain. He delivered ! and I am a fan ! ":O)

I have painful degenerative disc disease diagnosed by Dr. Simon who then operated on my spine, removing the diseased discs in my neck and replacing them with prosthetics. The operation and recovery was minimal and my pain is completely gone and I have a full range of motion.

My husband's surgery was just as Dr Timon had explained. His recovery was great and the surgery a success. We were referred to him from good friends of ours and we have referred friends and family to him.

Dr. Timon was extremely informative on what my problem was and the various options that there were to handle my specific case. He approached the treatment from a conservative position, making me aware that not all treatment options work for everyone. In my case surgery was the final and best option. I had experienced significant headaches for years, along with pain and numbness in my arms. Almost immediately all the numbness and pain were gone.

Dr. Timon fused 2 discs in my neck and removed some bone spurs. The surgery went well and recovery time was minimal. This was absolutely the least painful surgery I have ever had, I never took one pill for pain. I would definitely recommend Dr. Timon as a physician and a surgeon. Robert Nelson

Dr. Timon is an excellent doctor. I went in back in Feb.2016 with so much pain that I was not sure what was going on. Dr.Timon ordered an MRI and within weeks we were setting up an appointment for cervical surgery. I never felt that I needed a second opinion because I felt very comfortable that I was in good hands. I have regain back my strengthen on my hands and headache's are gone. His PA Natali Thornburg is wonderful as well always ready to answer any questions you have. Highly recommended

Dr. Timon has performed two fusion surgeries on my spine in the past 3 years. I have had great experiences both times with him, his assistants, the nursing staff and the administration staff. I'm so thankful that I found him to take care of me.

The bottom line, words cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Timon. I had a severe herniated disc in my neck, I suffered from severe pain in my left arm followed by off-the-charts numbness. Months of physical therapy did not work, and I very reluctantly opted for surgery. It has been three months since my surgery, all symptoms are completely gone, and I have my life back. Dr. Timon is not only an exceptional surgeon, he truly cared about me and my recovery, and I could not be happier.

My experience with Dr. Timon and his staff has been fantastic. They are professional, exceptionally skilled, courteous and have great bed side manner. I came to Dr. Timon for a 2nd opinion on my neck after a MRI revealed cervical spinal stenosis was causing the numbness in my left index finger and thumb. Dr. Timon's exceptional skill and thorough explanation for the surgery made my decision to have the procedure easy. He and his PA (Michelle) patiently answered questions and provided great care.
