Patient Reviews

I had surgery with Dr. Tinley in 2012 and it couldn’t have gone better. He is a very talented surgeon. – Deb S.

When I first came to see Dr. Tinley, I was unable to walk even 100 feet. The summer after my surgery I walked 26 miles through Yellowstone Park in a little over 5 days. – Chip D.

Everybody at DFW Center for Spinal Disorders was kind and helpful. Dr. Tinley answered all of my questions so I felt like I received the best care possible. – Viola M.

My experience with DFW Center for Spinal Disorders was excellent. Dr. Tinley and his staff are attentive and compassionate. My surgery went better than I could have ever expected and I am now pain free! – Barbara K.

The office staff are always so friendly and helpful and I like that I am able to be seen at an office so close to my home. I would recommend Dr. Tinley to anybody who needed a spine specialist. – Virginia G.

Dr Tinley is a leader in the field of spinal surgery. His technique is excellent but he does not rush to pursue surgery. Very good at explaining your condition and allowing you to decide a course of treatment. -Randall W

Three distinguished local spine surgeons all recommended 2 and 3 level cervical fusions. Only Dr Tinley explained ADRs and at about that time Aetna began reimbursing 2 level Artificial discs. I was lucky! Considering an ADR with a good Dr. like Tinley is often the best alternative to Cervical fusion. -Paul C

I love the staff and Dr Tinley. I had cervical spine surgery and I am very happy with the turn out. Thank you all!!! -Katrina S

I had severe and constant back pain. Dr. Tinley diagnosed and scheduled me for surgery. He was able to get me the earliest possible surgery date. Dr. Tinley’s staff was nothing less then excellent and courteous. The morning of the surgery Dr. Tinley and some of his staff personally visited with me to inform, calm, reassure and instruct. My follow up visit everyone knew my name and welcomed me as though I had known them for years. Nobody wants or enjoys surgery but since my condition warranted it I was blessed to have Dr. Tinley and his staff. I am sure there are many fine doctors and facilities but you will not find one better then Dr. Tinley and staff. I am forever grateful to be pain free, mobile and healing. -Scott

No words can describe how Dr. Tinley’s surgical skills have changed my husband’s life who has dealt with back pain for several years, and very afraid of surgery. Spinal injections, PT, losing 30+ pounds – didn’t help. The burning pain down both legs just worsened. No quality sleep at night – only multiple 15 minute naps interrupted by pain. Activities were framed around how much walking was involved (he’d last just a few ft before having to stop & stretch, etc.). Fate finally brought us to Dr. Tinley. His special, less invasive surgical technique enabled a short recovery time allowing us to enjoy a 2 week Europe vacation full of walking just 6 weeks later. Seriously. I never realized how much he’d been silently gritting through life until seeing him in his new, recovered state. He’s happy vs pretending to be. He’s got energy vs being in an exhausted, sleep-deprived, chronic pain state. THANKS Dr. Tinley, and to your wonderful staff – your PA David especially rocks :). -Greg
