“would do it all over again without hesitation”

simply put - an experience that should be in all medical providers but I have only found at VSI. Right folks doing the right work and staff is awesome.

“Unmatched, world-class medical practice and care”

No other surgeon would have performed the procedure and achieved the results that Dr. Good did. He is at the leading edge of medical/surgical care, including non-surgical options. I could not be more pleased with having been recommended to see Dr. Good, and the overall treatment, including surgical care, I have received.

“Exceptional care”

From the first appointment Dr. Good listened to my concerns and developed a treatment plan based on what I wanted. He always provided me with concise informative recommendations based on what my lifestyle goals were, something I really appreciated. Dr. Good always took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I understood the pros and cons of every treatment I was about to undergo.

“Dr Good completely eliminated by neck pain and restored my quality of life.”

Dr Good placed two artificial discs in my cervical spine. Within a week I was feeling better than I had in years. I have complete faith in him and would recommend him to anyone have spinal pain. This is my second surgery with Dr Good and I will always come to VSI if a future need arises.

“What a relief!”

Dr. Good patiently led me through the process of disk replacement. He and his staff were kind and caring, always available to answer my questions and help with my (pre-surgery) pain. Two years later and I'm feeling great, able to do all the things that my pain kept me from, including skiing, horseback riding, and kayaking. Dr. Good was right -- back surgery made a world of difference for me. I'm so, so happy to be out of pain, moving and grooving again!

“Awesome Dr. Awesome staff!”

I came to Dr. Good after not having a good experience from my local healthcare group. Dr Good pin pointed the problem in a very short time, accurately. Dr. Good made me feel like a human being instead of just a number in the healthcare system.

“Thorough diagnosis and treatment”

Dr. Good listened to my issues with pain, numbness, loss of function and thoroughly went through the scans/reports that I brought with me. He provided a complete diagnosis and offered disc replacement for my C5-C6. I had the surgery and felt amazing afterwards. In followup with PT and Dr. Good I have had complete healing and am amazed!

“Excellent”

Excellent

“Well thought and designed planning enabled an 180 positive change”

Empathy, solicitation of feedback, accurate assessment of imaging/tests drove an exceptional surgical outcome which exceeded expectations!

“Life changing...no longer in excrutiating pain and have my life backkk!”

I visited 3 orthopedic doctors to get opinions on my lower back pain. When I met Dr. Christopher Good and his team, I knew I had found the doctor that would take the best care of me and I was right. I could stand and walk on my own within a few days of my surgery with no sciatic nerve pain or numbness. I did everything I could...from exercises, chiropractic, Physical Therapy to not have to have spine surgery, but nothing helped. So glad I did!!

“I am very happy”

Always very helpful and truly cares.

“i couldn't be happier with the outcome.”

We came to Dr Good because of his experience and the outstanding reviews he received. He has completely exceeded our expectations. He thoroughly studied the situation and recommended how to proceed, explaining everything along the way. Surgery went perfectly and the pain is already gone the day after surgery.

“I am thrilled with the results. Absolutely no pain now & I feel great t”

Dr Good is a very compassionate skilled surgeon. I never thought Id go from not being able to hold my head up or drive a car to completely normal in < 90 days. Spine Institute Staff including techs & PAs are just as nice. Thank You all!

“Fantastic, patient, and amazing”

Dr, Good and his team were amazing and with me through every step of my diagnosis and surgery. He found a crack in my spine when no one had caught it after years of pain. He literally saved my life by allowing me another chance at being able to live without pain. I highly recommend him and his team.

“I could not be more pleased with Dr. Good's professionalism and my result.”

Dr. Good quickly diagnosed my spinal issues. He operated on my back and the pain is gone. I feel so much better!

“I got my life back”

I found Dr. Good online for a second opinion and from the very beginning, he gave me detailed information about my back, set realistic expectations, and conveyed information in a confident, understandable manner. We discussed the risks and potential complicating factors appropriately. After hearing all the factors, I didn't know how well I could be expected to recover and get back to activity, but he did a great job in the procedure and I feel like I have my life back. I can walk, run, hike, bike, dance, and do any activity that I love. I am very thankful and appreciative that I found Dr. Good. Thanks doc

“Dr Good and all of his staff are exceptional at what they do”

excellent!

“The most helpful, caring, and thorough experience with Dr. Good and his staff.”

At 15, I had limited mobility, constant pain, and was unable to play soccer. Dr. Good and his staff transformed my life in one day with surgery. Dr. Good, along with his staff are trustworthy, reliable, and will always take the best course of action that aligns with the wants and needs of the patient. You can tell this is a great team environment and you will leave the office with all of your questions answered, and a clear explanation as to what may be going on and next steps.

“Best experience with a doctor and medical practice ever.”

Dr. Good was caring, compassionate and worked very hard to understand my issues and to fix them. His willingness to listen and try things and not just jump to surgery, even though we both knew that's where I would end up made me very happy. Dr. Good is by far the best doctor I have ever been a patient of!

“Couldn't Ask for More!”

Dr. Good and his team are fantastic! After exhausting several treatment strategies, I decided to go forward with surgery to fuse/replace four disks in my spine. The entire process couldn't have gone better. After having suffered for over a year, I am now completely pain free!

“Exceptional evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment”

I met Dr. Good when I was experiencing severe lower back pain that was negatively impacting my ability to walk and function in my daily life. He quickly identified that I had a bulging/disintegrating disc that was likely the culprit. At this moment in my life, my pain was clearly a 9 of 10 (10 being severe) and I was having to lay on the floor with lots of ice frequently throughout the day. I believed I was likely destined for surgery right away, but Dr. Good spent time evaluating and diagnosing my problem and deciding upon a treatment of drugs (short duration) and a steroid injection...and most importantly therapy as our first course of action. However, he also took considerable time to walk me through a plethora of other paths forward if this treatment did not bring me the relief I needed. He educated me and ensured that I understood my condition and how I could best help myself. My follow-up meetings with him continued to be filled with information and insight. I am deeply grateful.

“Diagnosed/Treated and Provided Feedback accurately and effectively”

Good bedside manner
Effective communicator
Decisive

“My experience with Dr. Good and his team has ended my search for answers and resolution of pain.”

Dr. Good is very knowledgeable about spine conditions and on the forefront of surgical and non-surgical interventions. He explains diagnoses and treatment in a way that is easy to understand and allows the patient decision making options of which avenue to choose. He is patient and understanding and provides excellent care. Quite possibly one of the best health care providers I have ever met and I'm forever grateful his life journey led him to this field. His compassion is evident in all he does.

“Dr. Good"s compassion and expertise exceeded all of my hopes and expectations/”

very favorable

“amazing”

Dr Good is a miracle worker!Everyone has been wonderful.

“Absolutely the best”

After consulting with two other doctors/surgeons, I can say with great assurance that Dr. Good is not only the best in the area, but he far, far exceeds all the others. And, the whole practice reflects his kindness, clarity and skill. I feel very lucky that Dr. Good did my spine surgery. He and the practice supported me and took away my fear and every little question that I asked or called about was handled so effectively and respectfully.

“Kind and Caring”

Dr. Good and his entire staff have all been an amazing team to work with for my 3rd spinal fusion. I didn't want to have to have a 3rd fusion (2 others were not with Dr. Good) but the 2nd one had failed and he took excellent care of me. From my first call and getting in a same day appointment to my 3 month post op appointment. His kind and caring personality shows why he chose to be a doctor. I have been with a lot of doctors in the past and no one has treated me with such good care as him and his team. If anyone was in need of spine help I would highly recommend his office!! I am moving in a positive direction with my spine, my pain has subsided and hopefully this will have been my last spinal surgery!

“Dr. Good has changed my life!”

am still a work in progress, but after having 3 other physicians tell me that pain management was my only option, Dr. Good gave me hope and gave me my life back! I cannot thank him enough!

“Easy from start to finish”

Dr. Good knew exactly what to do the moment he saw me. Hardware removal was super easy and I had immediate relief.

“I literally could not ask for a better outcome!”

Dr. Good is the epitome of professional. He is extremely knowledgeable is great at explaining himself in layman's terms. The PAs, Ian and Mary, were equally fantastic. The MAs, Kristen and Lilly, were both great at answering my logistical questions and making sure I knew what my next step was outside of the office. Overall, everyone here listens extremely well, and their high quality of service is a reflection of that fact.

“Dr. Good is caring and provided me with an excellent experience!”

All staff have been amazing and they provided a service beyond my expectations.
Thank you!!

“Incredible!”

I have been with Dr. Good for years, and he has always provided sound judgement and guidance. Two years ago, we decided to pursue a Stem Cell procedure and it was the best decision we could have made. Proceeding that, he was always attentive and provided direction that substantially helped decrease my back pain. I recommend him to everyone I know that experiences back pain.

“Amazing care!”

I received amazing care from Dr. Good and his entire staff. Every single person who was in contact with me treated me with care and respect. Dr. Good and his PA's show great attentiveness with their care and are very responsive to questions or needs. I was suffering with back pain to the extent that it interfered with all my activities of daily living. I am now 3 months post op spinal fusion and feel so good! I'm getting back to my life again! I am so grateful to Dr. Good and his entire staff for all the amazing care they have provided to me.

“The most complete and comprehensive medical treatment I have ever experienced and I have had a lot...”

The attention to care and concern for patient well being and comfort throughout the entire process, from initial diagnosis through surgery and rehabilitation has been top notch.
Dare I say "White Glove": Yes I do!
Dr Goods knowledge and surgical talents are remarkable, only to be outdone by an exceptional bedside manner.
Having endured several serious medical challenges in my life time, this experience has been the most positive medical experience i have been exposed to thus far.

“Exceptional Individualized Care”

At 9 weeks post op i'm having less pain than I had for 3 years. The decision to move forward with surgery was the best I've ever made. I have my quality of life back and its only continuing to improve day after day. I'm so thankful for Dr. Good, the compassion and care I received while undergoing an L4-5, L5-S1 fusion. I'd highly recommend him to anyone struggling with similar issues.

“If ever Doctor Good doesn't have an immediate answer he will always commit his time and VSI's resources to solve my issues s t”

I have had my back (L6 to T2) fused twice (2012, 2014) and a disk replaced in my neck. His bedside manner fully complements his technical skills. In 2012, I had 2 practices tell me there was nothing they could do to help. I have degenerative disk/joint disease and have had both shoulders (2014, 2015) replaced successfully by a Doctor recommended by him. Recently I had my right hip replaced and the left scheduled for April. I have seen many practices, and as a whole, VSI has been the best from the top down and truly shows sincere interest by the time given to their patients. My condition would have left me paralyzed and possibly dead by now. I had thyroid cancer in the middle of this journey. I've always felt cared for.

“Dr. Good is the best orthopedic spinal surgeon I have met in my sports medicine career.”

Great Experience. Took all the time needed to sort through a multiyear problem that involved the hip and low back and was able to very accurately get to the root of the problem. Surgery has been 100% successful and I highly recommend his services.

“World class care”

Highest levels of customer service and really took the time to explain and answer questions about all aspects of treatment.

“Amazing”

My life is 100% better. I saw a number of doctors before coming to VSI. I found Dr. Good to be a league above others, not only in my outcome, but also in his approach to patient care. I never felt out of the loop, and I always understood my options. He provided me all the information I needed to make an informed decision. I have absolute confidence in Dr. Good and his skills. I could not recommend Dr. Good with more confidence.

“Absolute best Surgeon and staff you could possibly hope for!”

Dr. Good diagnosed my condition during my first visit. I had seen other doctors and surgeons who had misdiagnosed me even after numerous MRIs. They all recommended pain management which provided no relief. I'm so grateful for Dr. Good and his highly trained staff. My surgery was successful and I'm enjoying a pain free life.

“incredibly helpful and gives me hope that I will be filling better”

Very good! Dr. Good was very informative and created a good plan for me.

“Dr. Good is all about getting the patient healthy and happy!”

I have been seeing Dr. Good for several years. I wouldn't trust my back care to anyone else. He truly cares about his patients and ensuring the best care is provided.

“Dr Good created a trusting relationship with my family and me.”

We had three tough surgeries but Dr Good and his staff were with me the whole way. I felt the whole team cared about my well being and they gave me the support I needed to fully recover. I'm better today thanks to Dr Good's expertise.

“meet all expectations”

Was able to get an appointment early after having an issue with another doctor which enabled me to get the immediate care I needed to solve the problem in my spine causing numbness down my leg.

“the best thing ever”

He was the saving grace in my pain management. I am disappointed in myself that I waited 20 years to do this. My cervical pain is gone and I am back to normal life.

“Outstanding service”

Dr. Good has been a life saver. He is an outstanding doctor and human being. He takes time to listen and explain things to you in a simple manner. I had a spinal fusion, 4 discs, and the pain was unbearable, after surgery my life has changed. Now I can stand, walk, sit and lay down without pain.
The staff also provides excellent service, they are all very professional and caring.

“Right Kind of Doc”

It all worked out. After a decade + of dealing with low back pain and multiple attempts to resolve it, decided it was time to find a surgeon. The whole experience with VSI and Dr Good and his staff has been exceptional. Dr Good presented all the options, took his time reviewing my history and covering all aspects of my surgery. He and his team walked me through the entire process from the decision to operate, to post-surgery and rehab. I immediately felt relief from my symptoms and less than 6 months later I felt better than I had in over 10 years. 100% back (no pun) in the game.

“Doc fixed me”

I've had back pain for years and a procedure by VSI and Dr. Good has significantly reduced my pain. Highly recommend.

“Amazing Results”

Dr. Good has performed two difficult spine surgeries to correct an ongoing condition. These surgeries included installing posts for support, fusion, new discs and more. Dr. Good was extremely thorough, took the the time to explain everything to my satisfaction and in my opinion was nothing short of amazing especially since I have severe osteoporosis in my spine. Both of my recoveries went very well and unexpectedly almost painless. Unfortunately, I had nerve damage when I first went to see Dr. Good. However, after surgery some of that damage has been reversed as I am walking so much better now than pre-surgery and I can continue on with my active life, living on a sailboat in the Caribbean. I highly recommend Dr. Good. The office staff is top notch, friendly and very responsive.

“A wonderful experience”

I was determined to have the best surgeon I could find to do my fusion surgery. After meeting Dr. Good and doing some investigating on the use of robotics, I was convinced that I was making a good decision and it was. My hospitalization and recuperation proceeded exactly as expected and with minimal pain. I am now one year post op and as active as I want to be, even riding horses again. Best decision I could have ever made.

“Highly Recommended”

Dr. Good is about as thorough of a doctor as you are going to find. He listens to all of the information you share with him, processes it, and then provides valuable feedback. He gives you straight forward explanations and tells you straight up when needed. The fusion surgery he did went very well and I was back to a fairly normal life quickly. Take it from the nurses that work with him at Reston Hospital (not affiliated with the spine institute), he is one of the great ones!

“I call him Dr. GREAT!”

Dr. Good did fusions in my neck and lower back caused by a car accident hit from behind. He took the appropriate amount of time to go over all of the possible solutions, and we ended up having to do surgery to alleviate the pain.
The surgeries went fine and I have never been more happy!
Kudos to Virginia Spine Institute, Dr. "Great", and his entire office.
Steven Zeamer

“Truly heaven sent”

I have been a patient of Dr Good's since 2013. At that time I came into the office in acute pain from a ruptured disc. We tried to take care of it non surgically to no avail. About a month after the incident - I had a successful disc replacement surgery.

Fast forward 5 years - again in acute pain - I came back to the office. This time I had 2 herniations. I'm super happy to report that these were taken care of without the need for surgery. Some medication was required at the start combined with physical therapy and the pain/symptoms subsided. I am over the moon happy with Dr Good and the entire staff. They listened intently, asked and answered questions, explored options, and I felt as if we were a solid team looking out for my best interests - physically and emotionally.

I strongly urge anyone with spinal issues to consult with Dr Good - it is refreshing to have a top notch physician that collaborates with you and listens.

“Back to 100% after 10 years of severe pain!”

I had back pain for about 10 years that got exponentially worse each year. We held off on surgery for as long as possible but eventually moved forward with an L5-S1 fusion. My pain level improved by about 30-40% within the first 3 months after surgery, and now I'm pain free after 1 year! Dr. Good is an amazing surgeon and wonderful doctor. I felt very comfortable leading up to my surgery because of how thorough he was in explaining everything beforehand. He answered every question I had and was genuinely happy with my post-op progress. I absolutely recommend Dr. Good and Virginia Spine to anyone with back pain. They will never give up on you!

“Completely pleased with the process and result!”

I came to Dr. Good with a degenerative spine problem that would ultimately require an extensive surgery. Throughout the entire process, Dr Good and his expert staff provided accurate analysis, clear communications and outstanding follow-up support . I am grateful for Dr Good's support, and counsel and 100% pleased with my decision and result from surgery.

“An Excellent Surgeon”

Dr. Good and his team provided excellent service. They quickly and accurately diagnosed my problem. Their expertise has vastly improved my quality of life.

“I'm pain free and back to playing golf after surgery.”

Had severe pain from instability at L2/L3 in lower back and had fusion in October. By February, I was back on the golf course. Very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Good and the Spine Institute. Dr. Good accurately diagnosed my problem and resolved it with surgery and fusion. I'm very pleased with the outcome!

“Incredible!”

I've been seeing Dr. Good for many years to address my spinal injury. About a year ago, we opted for a stem cell procedure. Dr. Good was very upfront about how the procedure would work (since he had it before), what the results would look like for me specifically, and listened to every concern that I or my family had. I am happy to report that I am basically pain free, and was able to participate in the "We've Got Your Back" 5k without triggering any pain!! I can't thank him or his team enough!

“Dr. Good gave me my life back”

Dr. Good was able to not only give me my active life back but he also pushed me and inspired me to focus on my studies and to strive to become one of the best Physical Therapists.

“Sciatic nerve pain”

I was dealing with ongoing back issues for years and I reached a point that I could no longer function day to day. Dr. Good was able to diagnose my symptoms and performed surgery within a week. He was very professional. The surgery was very successful and my recovery was expedient, and i did not have any problems. He's and excellent doctor and surgeon.

“Dr. Good is better than Good he's Great!!”

Takes the time to fully explain the anatomy and diagnosis as well as your surgical procedures. The support staff are wonderfully kind and helpful. Most importantly, the surgical results and after care returned my quality of life to a level I would never have guessed possible.

“I felt confident in Dr Good and VSI as soon as I walked in”

Dr Good addressed all my concerns with my surgery

“Exceptional service with results that exceeded expectations!”

Dr Good and his team are extremely empathetic, focused on details and ask the right questions to plan the tiered courses of action. Each step is evaluated to measure desired results and additional steps are required. I have been involved in athletics and physical activities all of my like, and his successful spine hybrid surgery has sustained my running and exercise into my 60s. I am grateful for Dr Good and his team's dedication and resolve to restore people's quality of life.

“Amazing Care and Concern”

Dr. Good and his staff at VSI always show a genuine concern for for me, and not just for my back that they surgically repaired

“Complete professional service from A to Z”

Wife and I had been to prior practices and we felt that we were not being listened to, we felt rushed, and not looked after. We felt like we didn't have a team with us. That completely changed when we came to Virginia Spine Institute. We came in and immediately felt that EVERY member of the team was laser focused on making sure that we were cared for, listened to, and part of THEIR team. This made us a bit more relaxed as we worked through this challenge with their help. There aren't words to describe how grateful we are for their partnership.

“Very thorough”

Dr. Good took the time to listen to my back issues and then did various tests in order to provide options for solving my back problem.

“As easy as could be.”

Dr. Good and his team were great every step of the way. I always felt comfortable and was well informed. Symptoms all gone and feel as good as new.

“Dr. Good and his team transformed my life for the better!”

I went to Dr. Good with severe back pain that I had come to believe was simply going to be something I would have to deal with. I was doing everything one could imagine to help my back and was avoiding surgery because I feared it and thought I could live with the pain. Thankfully a friend strongly recommended Dr. Good and my life went from living with pain and being limited in what I could, or would, attempt to do, to living pain free and able to do all the things I love and enjoy. In particular, Dr. Good was able to assess me condition and explain my condition. He gave me options and helped me understand the pros and cons of the options. I decided to have a full disc replacement and six-months post-operation, I can say Dr. Good gave me my life back. I strongly recommend his services.

“Outstanding back doctor”

I felt like Dr Good listened to the pains I was having. He performed various tests to determine the options for fixing my problem. He was extremely patient and friendly. The surgery went so well and my post op was great.

“My experience here has been amazing, Dr Good and his team are amazing”

Came in to Virginia Spine 2 yrs ago, meet Dr good and his team and it has been great the whole process. The staff have been incredible to work with with my situation which was very bad. After nec k surgery and 6 level fusion on my spine i am pain free and getting back to the things i love to do.

“Excellent visit as always w/ Dr. Good & team.”

Overall my experience has been excellent. I spent years seeing different physicians trying to get answer(s) to my lumbar and bilateral leg pain. I was referred to Dr. Good and VSI in 2020, and decided on 2-level lumbar hybrid surgery in 10/21. I am 6 months post-operation and doing well. Dr. Good and team told me to expect ups-and-downs in recovery and I have. I continue to improve and look forward to the next 6 months of starting to do activities that I have not done in years! I am very, very grateful for Dr. Good and VSI and everything they have done for me! They are awesome.

“Dr. Good and his Team are amazing - they listen, provide options, and are great!nd”

I thought I would need surgery and they provided options to avoid it. I couldn't be more pleased.

“Amazing experience from accurate diagnosis to seamless surgical procedure and return to a pain free lifestyle.”

Dr. Good and the VSI team executed the most uninstrusive strategy to correct two major spine issues and a debilatating facet cyst. Within three months of surgery, I am living a pain free life and resuming all work, sports, social, and household activities without restriction. Dr. Good clearly articulated the diagnosis, surgical plan, and recovery expectations so there were no surprises along the journey. The VSI team was very professional, empathetic, responsive, and engaged on a personal level in my recovery success resulting in my recovery being ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Dr. Good and VSI!

“very good, thorough, supportive”

I appreciated Dr.'s supportive, caring nature, patience and expertise for this important surgery

“Attentive and Professional Care”

Every person at VSI I encounter is kind and helpful. Dr. Good is an excellent physician - both in his knowledge of his field and also as a compassionate care provider.I had such a great experience with Dr. Good doing my scoliosis surgery I recommended him to my mom - and my mom only deserves the best! All in all I have had an excellent experience as a patient at VSI. Highly recommend.

“Gave me my life back”

I had both a cervical fusion and stem cell treatment in my lumbar spine with Dr. Good. I was in a lot of pain prior to starting treatment at VSI, and another orthopedic specialist had indicated my only option was to take pain medication daily. Switching to VSI was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I am now medication free and climbed a 4000 foot mountain last weekend. I am so grateful to be able to resume all the activities I love. Thank you Dr. Good and the outstanding team at VSI.

“I always leave with a understanding of my health.”

Always friendly and willing to take the time with my current situation. Everyone from the time you walk in the door until you leave has your best interest in mind.

“very well rounded doctor, knowledgeable and precise.”

excellent experience with friendly communication as well as staff members.

“Amazing Experience”

The care that I received from Dr. Good and at The Virginia Spine Institute has been top notch. When I came to Dr. Good, I was in a lot of pain and I had already seen another doctor about. He is awesome. He listened to me and provided me with options on what we can do to get me out of pain. I opted to for surgery and it was the best choice. I am not pain free!

“I got my life back.Misery to happiness!”

Excellent,came here after 20 years of sufferring.Pain management techniques were tried and kept me going until they worked no more>Dr. Nquyen referred me to Dr Good who di a quite extensive surgery(T-12throughS-1) fusion using robotic minimum invasive surgery.The result: I was back to work two weeks after surgery.

“Satisfied repeat patient”

Excellent care and follow up. Completely trusted with my care.

“got back my normal painfree life”

Dr.Good is the best doctor.I am thankful,happy and blessed to have been under his care. I got my painfree life back.

“Dr. Good is a superb surgeon and an excellent communicator. He explained my condition and the options in great detail.”

My condition was complex and, Dr. Good and his team were very helpful in diagnosing, explaining and treating the condition. I am extremely pleased with the outcome.

“Overwhelmingly a professional and quality practitioner!”

From the very first appointment five months ago I felt I was in excellent hands. Now, after my three surgical procedures it is a proven fact that Dr. Good is everything I could have hoped for and more!

“outstanding”

I am so pleased with the care I receive at VSI. I trust Dr. Good implicitly with my orthopedic concerns. He knew I wanted to try all non-surgical options to resolve my spine issue. After 3 years of "kicking the can down the road", Dr. Good recommended surgery before my issues deteriorated further. Since the surgery, I feel a new lease on life. My neck pain is resolved and I'm getting stronger every day. Thank you Dr. Good and your wonderful team!

“An absolute miracle!”

I was a complete mess coming in to see Dr. Good. After my first visit he had set me at ease on having revision surgery on my neck. He did not waste any time in getting me prepared for surgery. All of the staff at Virginia Spine Institute are extremely caring and sensitive.

“Dr Good "brought me back to life"”

I had all but given up hope that I could recover my very busy lifestyle and was sinking into depression. I found Dr Good via the internet and he "brought me back to life". I am able to return to work and live virtually pain-free again.

“Excellent, compassionate care”

Dr. Good took time to explain in language that I could understand my diagnosis, treatment options, and long term prognosis. Surgery was not the first option we explored, although I did end up needing it. After a successful recovery, I am hopeful that I have many years ahead that will be pain free and active.

“Dr. Good is incredible!”

From the first visit I knew I had chosen the right surgeon to correct the issues with my back. Dr. Good carefully guided me through the process and tried several strategies that didn't involve surgery. After careful consideration, I decided, based on the evidence, that surgery was my best option to address the degeneration in my back. The surgery was a complete success and I'm now completely pain free! Thank you, Dr. Good, for restoring my quality of life. I highly recommend you and the Virginia Spine Institute for future patients!

“Dr. Good is a caring doctor and excellent surgeon.”

Dr Good is an excellent spine surgeon that has great bedside manner. He has spent significant time analyzing my condition to determine different paths to improvement. I always know what the next steps will be. I feel that he is honest about my progress and genuinely cares about making me better and pain free.

“He saved my life and gave me back some of what i lost”

Dr Good has been amazing over the many years that i have seen him. He listens and takes his time and follows through. He didnt ever rush or put me into surgery with no prior treatments, instead he went through the appropriate steps to be sure surgery was right for me. He made me a believer again in doctors and their love for their patients positive outcomes.
He fused me from L3-L5 throughout the years and even though i need to take it easier then before im no longer in pain and im able to be the mom i want to be. Im able to be the wife and friend i need to be. Dr. Good changed my life in the most positive way. He is a miracle worker.

“Dr. Good is the best!”

I just had my 2-year post back surgery follow-up visit. S2-T12 was reconstructed including five new discs. After 35 years of pain, I am pain-free and have essentially no movement and lifestyle limitations. Dr. Good and his team were professional, communicative, caring and plain wonderful. I would recommend them for anyone having serious back issues.

“Awesome”

Dr Good is good people. He has repaired me once from being broken and trust that he will do the same this time.I would not think of going to another back dr .Also best bedside manners of any Dr I have met.

“trust him with my life”

I had a double fusion 8 years ago that was 1000% successful. Last fall I had emergency neck surgery and then another double fusion. Just got cleared on all, ready to live my life again!

“Wonderful!”

Dr. Good and his staff have been great. I was hesitant to get the surgery I needed, but Dr. Good was positive and assured me that I would be able to resume my normal activities following surgery. After receiving surgery, I have felt better than I ever had, and I cannot thank him and his staff enough for working with me to achieve a pain free lifestyle. They have all been great!

“The best treatment I have ever had.”

Dr.Good took the time to listen to my issues, provide guidance and support. Before seeing Dr. Good I was stricken with severe back pain that kept me up at night and affected my every day activities. To my surprise, he recommended stem cell therapy rather than surgery and I am so incredibly thankful. Three months after my procedure I am pain free and starting to exercise again. Thanks to Dr. Good. I have my quality of live back.

“Dr. Good and his staff are 100% committed to my health and well being.”

I met Dr. Good 10 years ago when my daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis. When I experienced neck and back issues of my own, I knew it was time to see him. Four months ago, my pain was beyond what I could bear. After the surgery and the fusion of 7 levels, I can say that I have truly progressed and now exceeding my own expectations of recovery. Dr. Good has an amazing gift and I have so much trust and faith in his ability.

“I have my back BACK!!”

Dr. Good was the first doctor I saw that accurately diagnosed my herniation - and from the minute I saw him he was completely right on every statement he made. When I first came in he gave me the option for a discectomy or fusion - and for personal reasons I chose the 'bandaid'. He told me it would totally give out likely in a year - and almost to a month of a year - it gave out. Just getting through fusion and after 3 months - my back is better!!!

His knowledge and bedside manner are just awesome. He is kind and honest - but not condescending (like most docs). Whenever someone tells me they have back problems - I immediately send them to VA Spine website and insist they see Dr. Good. My best decision was to come here and see him - so thank you soooo much Dr. Good - you rock!!

“Could not be more satisfied”

I came here with back/nerve issues that had negatively impacted my life. Standing and walking were becoming problematic. Dr Good and this entire staff at VSI walked me through the diagnosis and the game plan to get me back on track. This whole process has been a huge win for me - from the actual surgery / short hospital stay to clinic visits to coordinating with insurance...the whole package!

“Working with the group of professionals has been truly rewarding.”

Dr Goode and his staff are honest, truthful, respectful, innovative and hard working. They set the bar high and the results have been great. They treat their patients as people who need help and are not afraid to roll their sleeves up, pitch in and get it done. It has been a long recovery for me at my age and I was given the options and support needed. It has all been worth it. They have certainly gained my trust.

“Super Outstanding”

The best health care I've ever received in my life, from the best medical team in the world.

“Outstanding Experience”

I was referred to Dr. Good for increased neck and back problems that I have had for most of my adult life. He listened and provided options with a conservative approach to finding relief for my pain. The patience & understanding that was shown to me was so important, as dealing with serious neck problems can be daunting. I would leave my appointments feeling optimistic about my path forward and options for being able to continue to live my life/participate in my activities without limits due to my neck pain.

“Execptional”

Dr. Good went above and beyond for me and provided the highest level of service that I have ever experienced from any doctor or service provider. He 100 percent cares about his patients well being and strives to make the best decisions for his patients with surgery being a last resort.

“outstanding”

After several back surgeries I feel better now than I have in years thanks to Dr.Good and his staff

“Dr. Christopher Good and the Staff at Virginia Spine Institute are truly the BEST.”

From my initial consultation to post follow-up after surgery, Dr. Good and the staff at Virginia Spine Institute have been wonderful. They were attentive to my needs and proactive regarding my overall care. They are truly the BEST!

“World class facility!”

Dr Good and the Virginia Spine Institute are a world class facility. The treatment I received was nothing but 5 star, from check-in, diagnosis and to treatment. The staff are all highly trained, knowledgeable and experts in their field. I was well taken care of and look forward to continued quality treatment at this facility.

“Very professional,great staff and awesome doctor”

VSI is a very well organize and professional facility. Staff treats you like a rockstar and i have recommended 3 people to this awesome treatment facility.

“Amazing surgeon”

Attention and time spent with patients is incredible. I couldn't be more happy that I choose VSI and Dr. Good for my scoliosis spinal fusion. He is a very passionate surgeon.

“An incredible life altering experience.”

Dr. Good is exceptionally skilled and compassionate. He accurately diagnosed the problem and clearly outlined the procedures and timeline. His surgical is of the highest quality as demonstrated by how the recovery process has gone and the highly successful outcome. His ability to explain and answer all questions, as well as the patience to do so, is excellent and appreciated.

“Amazing Results!”

Dr. Good and the entire Virginia Spine Institute staff has helped transform my life from one of pain to one that is nearly pain free. I like their approach of progressive treatment from the least invasive (e.g., physical therapy, steroid shot) to more cutting edge, which for me was stem cell replacement therapy. Dr. Good is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients.

“Exceptional Care”

Dr. Good and his team have provided me with exceptional care for my cervical spine issues leading to surgery and post-op. They truly went above and beyond to comfort me and make me feel confident about the decision to have surgery. My recovery has exceeded expectations and I honestly couldn't be happier with the results.

“Money well spent”

I had three laminectomies through out the years and it finally came time again where I could not move or walk. I saw Dr. Good and also another surgeon that was in network. I chose Dr. Good as he spent a lot of time explaining the surgery and showing me the hardware for my 2 level fusion. He also had me do a procedure to make sure I didn't have to do a 3 level fusion. I feel that he is genuinely warm and caring and not just banging out surgeries for money. His office staff is more than helpful and called to follow up with the neurologist for test results. His PA's were also the same. Dr. Nuygen from the pain management side made sure this was the least painful surgery I ever had. I just finished my annual check up and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. It was worth the money spent to be pain free and walk again,

“A great decision!”

I had back problems over a decade, told at some point I would need surgery. But I remained relatively pain free for 9 years until an episode in March of 2018. New MRIs led Dr. Good to recommend a 2 stage surgery, over 2 days entering from the front for a fusion and the back for hardware and a laminectomy. I was shocked and terrified when he described the procedure but was in such pain I knew I had to consider it. I had had 2 spinal injections which did not solve the pain issue, consulted other surgeons about treatment. I felt most comfortable with Dr. Good, in spite of my initial shock. He was very thorough with his explanations and I had confidence in him. All the same I was terrified going into the surgeries. But after much prayer, I knew I had to take a chance. I was operated on July 3 and 5, 2018. The post-op pain was manageable with meds and in fact less painful than before surgery. After 3 months I was cleared for normal activity and one year later completely pain free.

“Phenomenal overall experience”

Dr. Good was kind, patient, clear, and most importantly accurate and helpful when it came to my spinal problems. He took the time to understand my pain, what the cause of it was, and present all of my different options for treatment. He seems to genuinely care for my well-being as well as the well-being of all of his patients.

“Great”

after several back surgeries feeling better than I have in a long time thank you Dr. Good and staff you all are AMAZING!!!

“xWould do it again”

Dr Good performed a multi-level fusion of my spine. Although there were some complications, the improvement in my life and level of pain is considerable and I would definitely choose to have the operation again.

“Dr. Good is an excellent surgeon & uses cutting edge technology”

Dr Good is an excellent surgeon & uses cutting edge technology. I would recommend him to anyone who needs back surgery. His staff is very attentive and explains the treatments and answers all my questions.

“Outstanding Spine Physician”

Both my wife and I have seen Dr. Good and his staff. Without a doubt, it has been the best experience we could have hoped for. Very caring, and very good at explaining in terms we can understand. We have also sent our daughter to him for treatment. Our quality of life has improved greatly. Our thanks go out to Dr. Good and all the staff at the Virginia Spine Institute.

“One AMAZING Dr.!”

I am so fortunate to have found Dr. Good. After living with progressing scoliosis it came time for serious fusion surgery (L5-T1). I did my research, and decided he was the one. I am 2 years post surgery and doing great. I highly recommend him to anyone who has spinal issues. Not only is he great, his team is phenomenal!

“Seeing Dr. Good has been the best decision I've ever made for my health and comfort.”

Seeing Dr. Good has been the best decision I've ever made for my health and comfort. I have been coming to VSI since I was nine for management of my scoliosis, and, since my very first visit, have been listened to and have had all my questions answered with thorough explanations. I am now eighteen and had my partial spinal fusion almost five years ago. I just finished my five year checkup and am pleased to report that my x-rays looked fantastic. I am pain free and living my life to the fullest.

“Dr. Good and Virginia Spine Institute are the best!”

Dr. Good and all the staff at Virginia Spine Institute took amazing care of me from beginning to end. Everyone from the front office staff, the billing staff, the medical assistants, the PAs, to Dr. Good himself were kind, considerate, and focused on working to find the best solution to fixing my spine problems. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

“Excellent Care!”

Dr. Good and the entire staff at VSI are wonderful! They are very professional, kind, and helpful when you are in need of medical services. I searched for the best surgeon that I could find to perform surgery on my lumbar spine and I found him. I had to drive 3 and a half hours away and it was worth every minute to get the best care around!!
