Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing Surgeon
I have had to best results for a lumbar fusion I could have asked for, I have had CT scan and MRI post surgery and both have shown perfect result!!!! Not only does he have the best bedside manner he is a very skilled surgeon. Glad I made the right choice to do this very invasive procedure. Definitely recommend!!!

I am recovering from neck surgery right now. So far all the pain I had before are gone now, and the pain that I do have now is from the surgery which is getting better every week. I’m 70 years old now and this is the 3rd surgery he has done on me in three years and I almost feel like a new born person .

Mary Wallace Urgent Matter – Sep 08, 2021

Dr. Cenac was recommended to me, by a doctor whose opinion I respected, as a wonderful young brilliant surgeon, who also happened to be his nephew. I was in so much pain, I took his advice and made an appointment. Dr. Cenac did do the surgery, fusing L1-L4, which took 8 hours. I will not elaborate on the pain I had to endure afterwards, and 15 years later, the pain is still excruciating. I have never been able to resume any type of normal life since I'm unable to stand up straight or walk without help. I live in a small town and 8 people besides me have been crippled by this doctor. I see them, occasionally in the doctor's office when I have an appointment. It's absolutely heart-wrenching to know we could have all had better, more productive lives. When I finally requested my records from Dr. Cenac, I saw the diagnosis, which was Failed Back Surgery! Yet, this man is still performing surgery on innocent and uninformed patients! I will never enjoy life again because of him!

I went to my family doctor for back pain and numbness in the right leg. All she wanted to do is medicine and physical therapy. My second opinion was with Dr. Cenac. We done an MRI and found a herniated disc. A month later, we done surgery and since then, it's been great. The pains are gone from that side. I'm having problems from the other side and will not hesitate to see Dr. Cenac when the pain becomes to much.

I would most definitely recommend Dr. Christopher Cenac Jr. to all my friends and family. Dr Cenac is an amazing Orthopedic Surgeon. I had an automobile accident & though my life changed forever that day. After, seeing Dr. Cenac, I found new hope in what his experience could do for me. Dr. Cenac fused my neck from C4-C7, I’m so grateful that I have my life back to 100%. My fusion is so beautiful, it looks like it came out of a magazine, perfectly straight, I regained all flexibility, and no longer have any pain, numbness or headaches. I did my part as well, I listen and adhered to his orders of therapy, used a bone growth stimulator, and took great care of the work he has done on my neck. I didn’t have to crutch on pain pills, I put the time in to heal. I couldn’t have had this outcome without Dr. Christopher Cenac Jr. And his guidance. I’m forever grateful and Proud to say; He is my Orthopedic Surgeon. His staff is awesome too! Thank you; Dr Chris for giving my life back!
