Dr. Mork has been absolutely fantastic. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and he has treated me in Florida twice and last year in newport Beach, California. I just can't say enough about him!

I have consulted with Dr. Mork, and even though he told me surgery wasn't right for me, I respected him. He showed me the published research he has done on his patients and their success rate. This research was published in independent, peer-reviewed professional journals. I trust him, and when the time is right for my surgery, I will be back.

I had Dr Tony Mork perform surgery on my spine for Spinal Stenosis on Thursday Oct 08/2015. We had a consultation at his office for about an hour on Wed Oct 7th. I showed up at Orange Memorial hospital on Thursday at 11am, went through the admitting procedure paper work and was settled in on a gurney and shortly the anesthesiologist appeared and started to explain the procedure she would use to put me under. I was surprised by this because I had understood that Dr Mork worked with local anesthesia and did not require that his patient be put under. A retired anesthesiologist friend of mine had recommended Dr  Mork for this reason and that is one of the main reasons I flew to California from Las Vegas for the surgery. My anesthesiologist and Dr Mork explained that in my case since I suffered from shortness of breath, that this would be the safest way to proceed. I was put to sleep and the last thing I remember was seeing the lights in the operating room. The surgery lasted about 1 1/2 hrs and I awoke in recovery were I spent a couple of hours before being released
My nephew picked me up, we went out to dinner and I felt fine.  A little groggy but no pain. I awoke Friday the day after surgery and felt great. No Pain at all. In fact I called Torrey Pines paragliding and attempted to arrange some flying for Saturday as my return flight to Las Vegas was  not until Sunday morning. This did not work out due to weather conditions and it was a good thing as I was in considerable pain all day Saturday. Sunday it was worse and I needed a wheelchair at both Long Beach and Las Vegas for the flight home. It was painful to a lesser degree for about 5 weeks during which time Dr Mork expressed great concern about my situation and even offered to fly over to see me at my home if things did not improve. This was not necessary and I am now pain free with only a very tiny scar on my back as a souvenir
.  I must admit I did not follow Dr Mork's instructions to the letter in regard to taking the medications he had prescribed because I felt so good the day after surgery. Throughout the entire experience Dr Mork explained my problem, what he would do to correct it, and answered any of my questions thoroughly. I am glad I had Dr Mork perform the surgery and would highly recommend him.
. I celebrated my 80th birthday pain free on Nov 15th. and intend to get back to Torrey Pines for the paragliding right after the ski season is over and before the weather here in Nevada warms up enough to allow me to drive my 1951 MGTD and ride my Yamaha 1300 V Star motorcycle.
Thank you Dr Tony!

This is the first review I’ve ever written about anyone, but I’m compelled to add 5 stars on behalf of Dr. Tony Mork and his wonderful staff.  I had a phone consultation with Dr. Mork in which he very patiently and thoroughly explained what had been causing all my pain.  Meeting him for the first time on the morning of surgery solidified my impression that this was a kind, caring, and professional man.  After endoscopically removing a cyst from my lumbar spine and decompressing the facet joint, he followed up with a home visit and phone calls to check on my progress.  I am pain-free just 4 weeks after surgery!  Finding Dr. Mork was an answer to prayer and I’m very grateful!

Dr. Mork did surgery on me 13 years ago. I came to him after a failed surgery from another doctor. I studied extensively on non invasive surgeries, and was so impressed with Dr. Mork that I opted to have him do my surgery outside of my insurance network. Best decision I could have made. Thank you so much.

Dr. Mork and his staff and hospital assistants are compassionate, kind, respectful and extremely competent. Dr. Mork is an amazing surgeon and I highly recommend him. He performed surgery on both my lumbar and cervical spine and I couldn't believe how quickly I recovered! His technique is really state of the art and he provides post-surgical support and follow-up. I wish I could see him for all my medical services; he is so positive and encouraging. Thank you, Dr. Mork!

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

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,

Hi, I am from Québec, Canada. I had two surgery with Dr. Mork in december 2016 and another one in december 2017. These were two Christmas present that changed my life. I had a endoscopic  cervical facet debridement  for all my cervicals facets.
Here in Québec two neurosurgeons told me my only option was medication witch did not relieve me off the pain and I had all the worst   side effect.
I stopped working, I could not sleep, read,  or move my head.
For two years my life was only PAIN.
Today I am pain free and living a normal life. Thank you Dr Mork.

My mother who is 86 also had surgery with Dr Mork in june 2018. She had severe spinal stenosis, lumbar 4-5 which had aggravated by an underlying disc herniation. She had extreme leg pain and could no longer walk. In Québec mini invasible is not available , my mother chose mini invasible surgery with Dr. Mork. Immediately after surgery she was pain free. Today my mother and I have a normal life pain free.
Dr. Mork changed our lives.
Thank you so much!!

Prior to having Dr. Mork performing surgery to remove a bone spur compressing my spinal cord at the C6/7 level I had had previous cervical fusion completed at the C4/5-C5/6 levels with a bone grafted from my hip. It was six months before I could return to regular activities. The surgeons approach to reduce the compression on the spinal cord at the C6/7 level was the traditional way by cutting the vertebraeand placing a plate with screws to stablize the area. The recovery time was going to be another four to six months. Whereas the recovery time from this recent surgery by Doctor Mork is 6 weeks. My impression of Doctor Mork is that he is not going to perform any procedure if he doesn't believe it will help. Keep in mind that there is no 100% percent full proof guarantee that all of your symptoms related to your particular problem will disappear. I believe Dr. Mork performs surgery within the realm of his expertise and he can only approximate the outcome not guarantee the results. At this moment in time I am very pleased with the results of my surgery. I fully appreciate Doctor Morks weekly follow up calls to monitor my progress.

I had tingling, pins and needles, and pain when writing or holding items in my left (dominant) hand. Dr Mork ordered an MRI after an initial evaluation and reviewed the MRI with me carefully explaining all the issues (herniated disc and foraminal stenosis). He recommended surgery and scheduled an outpatient procedure at a convenient time. I had immediate same day relief of my symptoms and left the hospital less than 12 hours later. Four months later I still have to be careful not to overstress my neck but I am still happy with the outcome since all my initial complaints have gone away. I have called the doctor on two occasions to ask questions - he was happy to talk with me, I never felt rushed and we worked out a plan of action. His staff is excellent: helpful and charming. Dr Mork's expertise is astonishing. It is a shame there aren't more doctors like him.

I had lower back surgery 23 years ago where I was fused. It was a terrible experience and the pain did not go away until years later when I used other methods to get rid of it. A few months ago my hands and arms began to hurt and go numb. I had and MRI that showed severe stenosis in two cervical vertebrae. I knew I wanted a very good endoscopic surgeon, but really didn't even know if one existed in the Untied States. I searched for several weeks through the regular doctor channels, but couldn't find one that I really felt comfortable with. Then I found Dr. Mork on an internet search. I watched all of his videos and read the reviews. I contacted Shannon, his extremely qualified assistant and a nurse who sent me a link for the MRI written and electronic copy. Within 4 days my wife and I had a phone consult with Dr. Mork who went thoroughly over my MRI with us. We were both very excited about getting my back taken care of without fusion. I was so impressed that I had my son contact Dr. Mork and we both had surgery a day apart in Mission Viejo, CA. Within 3 days I was able to stop taking all pain medication and have been pain free ever since. I'm 78 years old so it is still a major surgery and it has taken time to recover, but I haven't had any pain issues to deal with. Dr. Mork is truly a gifted surgeon and a really caring and good person. He saw us every day at the hotel after the surgery and have had communication with him or Shannon over the following weeks. They are very special people.

Bonjour, je suis du Québec, Canada. Je tiens à témoigner au sujet du Dr. Tony Mork. J'ai eu deux chirurgies par Dr. Tony Mork en 2016 et 2017. Je souffrais du syndrome facettaire depuis plusieurs années mais les 2 dernières années avant mes chirurgies ont été les pires années de ma vie. La souffrance était insupportable j'avais tellement d'inflammation dans le cou que la douleur était ressentie jusque dans la tête le visage et également ressentie au niveau des épaules et des trapèzes. Je ne pouvais plus travailler j'était incapable de mettre ma tête sur un oreiller incapable de m'asseoir de lire de regarder la télévision je ne pouvais plus bouger ma tête, je marchais et marchais sans cesse jour et nuit. La douleur était tellement forte que j'en étais rendu à avoir des idées suicidaires.... Après consultation de 2 neurochirurgiens ici au Québec, ceux-ci me disait qu'il n'y avait aucune chirurgie pour régler mon problème et que seul la médication pouvait m'aider. Les médicaments que je devais prendre n'enlevaient en rien ma douleur et en plus je ressentais les pires effets secondaires. Puis en faisant des recherches sur le syndrome facettaire, mon mari a regardé les vidéos de Dr Mork qui lui offrait une solution. Je suis donc aller à Miami pour subir ma première chirurgie, durant laquelle Dr. Mork à débridé 3 vertèbres cervicales bilatérales, c'était merveilleux la douleur était pratiquement disparue. Un an plus tard je suis retournée cette fois en Californie pour la deuxième chirurgie des 2 autres facettes bilatérales. Depuis ma douleur est disparu à 90% je peux vivre un vie normal. Dr. Mork je ne pourrai jamais assez vous remercier, vous avez changé ma VIE !!! Sylvie Bégin Trois-Rivières, Québec Canada
