I first met Dr. Mork 14 years when he performed surgery on my upper back.  It was like a miracle!  I went in one day with excruciating pain and walked out the next day pain free. I had been told by different patients this would be the case, but I found it hard to believe.  I am now a believer!   The area Dr. Mork worked on has been 100% pain free for 14 years.  I am returning to his clinic for surgery on my lower back.  Since my first visit Dr. Mork has started doing phone consultations. He was so thorough in his explanation one would have thought I was a new patient to the entire procedure.  This process is extremely effective and saves trips, days, and time in his office.  I am so excited to get the relief I have needed for several years now.  There are doctors in our area and all around the state of Texas that claim to do a similar procedure,  but I have so much confidence in Dr. Mork that I am thrilled to travel half way across the United States to obtain his services.     I would highly recommend his as a surgeon !

One of the few guys who does this type of surgery who accepts regular insurance. Great guy and very honest. I highly recommend him. Also the staff was very compassionate, especially Tina in the recovery area

I HAVE HAD 3 SURGERIES FROM DR MORK OVER THE PAST 6 YEARS USING HIS ENDOSCOPIC SURGICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE SPINE. ALL THREE RESULTS WERE MORE THAN I EXPECTED. I HAVE HAD 9 SPINE SURGERIES IN MY LIFE INCLUDING FUSION AND HAD GIVEN UP HOPE WHEN I FOUND DR. MORK. HIS AMBULATORY BACK SURGERIES WERE STATE OF THE ART USING EQUIPMENT AND MODALITIES HE INVENTED. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW WELL I FEEL NOW.

I had a free phone consultation with Dr Mork. My experience with him and his staff was excellent. Dr Mork is a down to earth person ! Very compassionate , patience and very experienced . After he listened to me, made right questions and reviews my MRI he gave me his impression of What could be my diagnosis and he explained me what to do first in order to confirm diagnosis, after that, he can explain me my options . He never rush for a surgery.  He gave me the confidence to call him anytime with updates and even I don’t know him personally, after our conversation, I trust him!. Thank you Dr Mork!

Doctor really had video chat with me and spent enough time to listen my problem. It is unbelievable that doctor and his assistant keeps replying me to get more details.

Till now, my experience with other doctors was very bad, either doctors don't have knowledge or don't have time, but Dr. Tony Mork has good knowledge and really spend enough time in his busy schedule to see patients and reports. My call was at 6 am. 

Thanks Doctor.

I've worked with medical doctors for over twenty years and gotten to know many of them very well.  Dr. Tony Mork is without doubt one of the most patient-centered, caring and truly excellent doctors you will ever meet.  

I have been fortunate enough not to need Dr. Mork's professional services, but if that ever changes - or if any one I love or care about ever needs spine surgery ... Dr. Mork is the ONLY doctor I will call.

I have to start by letting everyone know that I researched arthroscopic spine surgery through AI and other resources and hands down, Dr Mork has SO MUCH EXPERIENCE, great reviews, and is top notch in his field as a pioneer of less evasive spine surgery!  He even helped with the design of the tools used to do this. I am very impressed with the extensive diagnostic testing, too. Let's face it, if you don't know where the pain is coming from you won't know what to fix! Dr Mork and staff of experts know  how to pin point exactly where the pain is stemming from, thus being able to work on the appropriate disc.  I have not had surgery yet, but will be going in Aug 19 for 3/4 & 4/5 discectomy. He concluded I have spinal tears at both levels. I am thrilled to be getting this done and excited to move on with a more productive and less painful life! I will follow up with updated review post surgery to let you know how it goes. I feel 100% confident in this and cannot wait for this day to come! Also a great big shout out for his amazing team that made me feel safe getting some relatively evasive procedures done. Jamie is a DOLL and also got insurance to pay (Blue Shield of CA)! The whole staff is beyond amazing and put me at ease. Easy Peasy!!! Thank you for your care and expertise, Team Mork!

This is my second follow up review 5 years after the surgery by Dr. Tony Mork.
My wife suffering from cervical spine disk hurniation, severe due to a bicycal accident. Her surgeon urged fuse disk surgery immediately! Worring about  common complications post fusions surgery, she received endoscopy epidermal minimum injery disk resections on August 19, 2014. Fortunately, her system improved about 90% short after the surgery and gladly, she has been working non-stoppically since her surgery and no complains about cervical problems! Dr. Mork has done great job and made my family a happy one! Hope this is helpful to those who have the similar situation.

I've been having pain on my waist, right side of hip and down my hamstring. I tried Inversion table, stretching & eased off playing softball w/ no change in pain. After Dr. Tony Mork reviewed my MRI throughly & answered all my concerns, I schedule endoscopic surgery w/ him. By the 5th day after surgery, the most difficult thing to do is relax & heal, when I was ready to go back on the field. I'm now starting my 7th week, & feel great.?? Dr. Mork is patient, pleasant & explains in detail.

Honest Doc, told me my problem was not in my spine but in my arm. I had another doctor tell me if I didn’t have surgery I would be paralyzed if I got in an accident. If you want an honest doctor go here, he is worth it!

Dr. Tony Mork did not do any surgery on me. He was however the only doctor who found the problem in my arm and I was able to avoid neck surgery because of that. I had previously gone to a different surgeon who said I absolutely need neck surgery and that I would likely end up paralyzed if I did not have it. I went to a Neurologist I trust and she recommended I get a second opinion. My brother had a coworker who had surgery by Dr. Mork ten years ago and said he was extremely happy with his help,

My first operation (left side) was a breeze; I got up from the stretcher after the surgery and walked PAINFREE to the bathroom for the first time in a year. The second operation (5 months later) was just as wonderful - I opted to go "out of pocket" because I investigated this group before going there and I was satisfied with what I heard. I am now completely painfree (and have been since my operations) and I recommend Microspine whole heartedly. I don't understand anyone's complaint about Dr. Mork - I am willing to bet that he and the entire group would bend over backwards to help the patient. Because I went to Microspine I incurred more of the cost but BCBS was fair - it was worth the money. I am now walking without a cane.

i would go no where else for spinal surgery. I have been to Microspine four times now. Every time has resulted in a near perfect or perfect outcome. I am at present pain free. I highly recommend Microspine.

Just had a phone consult and he was super!!! I need surgery and am waiting for my Dr. locally to arrange it. My local neurosurgeon is great but his staff is horrible!!!
So if I don't hear from them shortly I will go to Newport and have Dr. Mork work on me.

Before I saw Dr. Mork, my back was a mess. I couldn't do much, I couldn't run, I could barely walk, I couldn't work out. After my surgery and the healing process i'm running 20+ miles a week, I am back to weight training but most of all, he gave me my life back. He is quite simply stated the best doctor i've ever been treated by. I never in my life imagined having this kind of life again. Thank you

Dr. Mork saved me.  I was in excruciating pain constantly and my right arm felt like is was going to explode from the pressure I was feeling.  I am 4 weeks after surgery and I can sleep through the night and should be able to get back to my normal routine in the next few months.  I spoke to many surgeons through my exhaustive search to figure out what to do.  You have to sit down with Dr. Mork and just listen to his approach and you won't be disappointed.  No fusion and No disk replacement and most of all No Pain.  Thank you Dr. Mork.  Scott P.
