BEFORE & AFTER
The injury. The accident. The pain.
Make Your “After” Good
Your life may never be the same as before spine or
joint pain, but we can help you make a good life after.
Cutting Edge + Conservative
At Georgia Spine, we believe in providing cutting edge treatment with a conservative approach. You deserve the treatment best for you and your life, which is often not surgery. Although Dr. Bendiks is a leading spine surgeon, he performs surgery on less than 1% of his patients. Instead, we offer a full complement of non-invasive treatments, including top-notch physical therapy, pain management, and PRP injections.

“My back surgery experience with Dr. Bendiks was a good one. Before the surgery I had pain walking. Now I am walking with no problems. The surgery was a major one, and the recovery long, but I followed directions carefully and suffered very little pain through the healing process. I thank Dr. Bendiks and his team, especially Gary (PA), for their professionalism and care. I believe Dr. Bendiks to be a gifted surgeon.”

“Dr. Bendiks did a great job on me and others should use him also. My wife and I were wondering why on earth anyone would go through the nightmare of having their back laid open like a ditch in your back yard when they can have what I had and be in and out the same day and with nothing but positive results. Not to mention the fact that his staff is friendly and efficient – always there when I needed them.”

“I had been in pain for over a year and given up hope. Dr. Bendiks did my surgery and I came out of surgery immediately without pain. My quality of life had gone from 100% down to zero before this surgery and now it has been a 180 degree turn around. I do not at all regret having this surgery done. Dr. Bendiks is great and I am very appreciative for what he has done for me.”

“After conservative treatments for serious back injuries that interfered with my daily life I reluctantly decided it was time to talk to a surgeon.
Dr. Bendiks performed an ALIF at L4/L5 (low back fusion surgery). After 2 weeks I felt great and after 3 weeks I felt like a new person. Daily activities that previously had produced excruciating pain were no longer painful. While I realize this is a very quick back recovery time, I believe a large part was due to the fact that Dr. Bendiks is an excellent surgeon and took exceptional care of me because he knew exactly what to do in order to fix my back problems. The decision to have surgery can be scary, but I highly recommend Dr. Bendiks to anyone considering back surgery.”

“Dr. Bendiks is hands down the best ortho surgeon I know. He did my back surgery in 2005, and did a complete fusion on me, and he 100% gave me my life back. He never let me hurt, he was always right on top of my treatment, honest, trustworthy and just a wonderful person all around. If I ever need surgery again, Dr. B will be the only surgeon to touch me. I trust this man with my life.”
