“Absolutely AMAZING”

Dr. Haines is MY HERO! The compassion he and his team show for you is unbelievable. Their knowledge and testing to determine the best way to fix your back is by far the most advanced that I've experienced. While I had a long, hard road to recovery, I feel like a new person and I would absolutely do it again knowing what I know now. Finding Dr. Haines was the best thing that I ever did.

“I don't have enough words to describe how phenomenal my experience has been with Dr. Haines and VSI!”

Dr. Haines and all the staff here at VSI have been a joy to collaborate with regarding my condition. They gave me hope after 20 years of dealing with pain and stiffness I can now move and am pain free. I always felt taken care of, heard, and seen during my appointments, surgery, and follow up care.

“He was amazing and helped my daughter regain her life”

Dr Haines is compassionate, practical, thorough and very caring doctor. I always knew he had my daughter's best interest at heart and cared about her. The surgeries he performed have fixed her back issues and we are grateful

“efficient”

“Lumber Disk Replacment”

Good experience with Dr. Haines and Staff at VSI.

“An excellent experience”

Dr. Colin is an amazing person who listens and thought about my well being as a patient. Took the time to listen and provide the best options.

“Extremely personable, helpful, and just an all around amazing doctor/surgeon/person”

He has been so wonderful and so helpful, did two spine surgeries and I have never felt better. Been to so many doctors, chiropractors, physical therapist and he found the answer and fixed it!

“xxcellent care”

dealt with me expertly and with csre. excellent surgeon

“outstanding”

Dr. Haines is a world class surgeon. His bedside manner is amazing. He engages with the patient, makes eye contact, listens to the patient, and I never have felt rushed with my appointments. Dr. Haines was spot on with my back issues and after taking a less invasive route to begin with, his skills as a surgeon "fixed"my lumbar spine and has restored it to an almost zero pain level, enabling me to resume all the activities I had to stop prior to getting surgery. ALL of the staff at VSI are professional, kind, friendly and caring. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Haines and his team. 1st class medical care!!!!!

“Dr. Haines saved my life!”

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Dr. Haines and his staff were during this entire process. Dr. Haines is absolutely the best and I am eternally grateful for everything he has done for me. Most importantly he gave me my life back!

“Best medical choice of my life.”

From the beginning Dr. Haines has been the best medical advocate I have ever had. I remember when I was on the fence about doing my cervical spine surgery and he called me on his way home from work and talked to me as a friend. I have never in my life ever had a doctor speak to me in such a way. Two surgeries later I am feeling wonderful and would advise anyone with back or neck pain to give him and his team a call. They are just really good people.

“He changed my life!”

He listened to me and explained everything. He literally changed my life for the better! I cannot say enough good things about him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon who specializes in scoliosis.

“The best of the best, excellent experience!”

I could not be happier with everyone at the VA Spine Institute, thank you!

“Remarkable.”

The best team of professionals I've ever encountered. Everyone I interacted with (receptionists, physical therapists, massage therapists, trainers, physician assistants and surgeons) were all professional, intelligent, extremely knowledgeable, personable, and very good at what they do.

“Life Changing!”

Dr Haines has guided me through life changing care over the last few years. He has clearly explained diagnosis, likely outcomes, and care options and supported my decisions along the way. My recent spine surgery has been life changing! I feel amazing and look forward to fully returning to all activities - without pain.

“confident, efficient, and friendly from start to finish”

Dr Haines is excellent, I was very happy with moving forward with surgery rather than delaying it. I have and would recommend him and VSI to my friends if they are considering a fusion or any kind of Spine issue.I appreciate how overall efficient the everyone is with communication and questions during appointments, emails, and phone.
Vincenta did a great job giving me clear instructions prior to surgery.

“Hands down the best decision I ever made!”

Dr. Haines and his staff have been nothing but spectacular. I was a bit worried two months out from surgery because the recovery is no joke and quite painful. However, I am now nine months out and completely pain free. I had suffered with lower back pain for 12 years and many times I was on bed rest because it hurt to even walk. I couldn't take long road trips because just sitting hurt too bad. My activity level had decreased so much but now my entire life has been changed thanks to Dr. Haines. Everyone in his office are the most pleasant group of people and I was always made to feel welcome at every visit. Thank you Dr. Haines and to all your staff for changing my life.

“Best surgeon and staff”

VSI really puts the caring in their practice. EVERYONE at VSI are friendly, welcoming, accomodating, and caring. Dr. Haines is outstanding in his approach to treating his patients as individuals. I am so grateful for the care i have received. My presurgical pain is completely gone. Worthwhile the drive to Virginia to see the best!

“immediate relief”

great dr and staff, as normal, hate dealing with finance between insurance and office

“Great experience with attentive care”

Went to Dr. Haines for a second opinion and instantly felt like I was getting more attention focused on my particular condition. He and his PAs did a great job explaining what was happening and his prescribed path forward. I felt instant relief after my procedure and was back up and walking the next day.

“I'm pain free now thanks to Dr. Haines.”

Very professional, offered the right treatment, willing to discuss any issues. Very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Dr. Haines. He made every effort to talk to me when I had questions before the surgery.

“I feel like I enjoy the very best care possible from Dr. Haines.”

Very satisfied with the care I have received.

“personalized, compassionate and comprehensive diagnosis”

Dr. Haines is a gem of doctor. He truly wants to helps his patients overcome their spinal issues. I am extremely happy with the results of my surgery all the follow up care.

“Awesome”

Caring, Knowledgable,

“Overall I had a great outcome”

The doctor did a very good job repairing my lumbar which was a real mess.

“Perfect experience”

I could not have asked for a better experience than I had with Dr Haines at VSI. Prior to meeting with him I had worked with another doctor who talked down to me yet still had no clear path forward to get me out of pain. Doctor Haines and his staff kept me well informed of everything they saw that could be fixed through surgery or pain management, and walked me through what every solution would entail and the risks/rewards. I ended up getting the surgery and I feel so much better even just a week out of surgery. I know I made the right decision and that was due to being well informed every step of the way of what I would experience and how to best handle it.

“calming and supportive”

My experience could not have been better. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. Dr. Haines was very informative and positive.

“Everyone needs a Dr Haines”

I love visiting Dr Haines and everyone in the office, even with my fear of doctors. After almost a year of back pain due to a herniated disc, I did stem cell treatment with Dr Haines. Not only was the procedure a success, but every follow up appointment has been simply delightful. Very efficient, always on time, but also we talk about family and travel and anything else. I feel like he is so sincere when he says to call whenever, and the office staff has always been so kind.

“I have my life back”

The first question Dr. Haines asked me was, "What do you want to do?". This was so refreshing after dealing with what I was unable to do for so long. His staff and PAs were great to work with. Their communication and follow up were outstanding. I couldn't be happier with my decision to have surgery with Dr. Haines and VSI.

“Excellent services”

Dr. Haines is an excellent physician and person

“Life Changing!!!”

He knew exactly what I needed and changed my life and made me pain free.

“Life changing healthcare with kindness and care”

Exceptional! Prior to surgery I did PT and worked with my primary care physician. However, things were getting worse quickly. I had horrible nerve pain and was virtually unable to sleep because any sleep position exacerbated it. Dr. Haines and his associates found a concerning indicator with muscle strength and quickly facilitated a full evaluation with imaging and nerve conduction studies. Thanks to the systematic evaluation, it prevented further degeneration or fuller nerve damage. I had C5-C6 disc replacement and my life is back. I have no more pain and am cleared for all activities. I really believe that without his expertise and caring questioning, evaluation, and listening skills, I might have ended up with permanent damage and continued excruciating pain. He always took my concerns quite seriously and offered immediate support. He is an excellent and skilled surgeon and caring clinician.

“Amazing!”

Dr. Haines was kind and empathetic, and very reassuring over my fears of surgery. He explained things in layman's terms (so I could understand...LOL) and was thorough. I do not feel that he rush surgery but did explain to me the dangers of waiting much longer and potentially causing more lasting nerve damage. His call the day after the surgery was very nice and didn't seem like a "check-off' but rather that he was sincerely interested in how I was doing. He is awesome!

“Absolutely confidence inspiring during darkest hour.”

As a professional level motorcycle racer, I have had experience with numerous medical procedures and surgeries over the last 25 years. From the very beginning, VSI gave me confidence and comfort that I was in the right place and working with people who truly cared about my future. Dr.Haines and the entire team at VSI did and amazing job from the first phone call to make an appointment through surgery and post operative appointments. For me this was a miracle and after three weeks I am standing and walking better than I have in 20 years.

“Exceptional support”

Great experience with diagnosis, treatment options, tests that determined surgery was best option and later the surgical procedure. Looking forward to the progress in the coming months.

“Fantastic! He is simply the best doctor and surgeon I've ever known. He changed my lilfe.”

Dr Haines is the best surgeon I've ever known. I felt he was very sincere with me and passionate about my health and recovery. I recommend him to everyone I talk to about my experience with VSI. He has earned my trust and I am absolutely grateful to have met him. He has restored my life to what it should be and I can do the activities I used to do with my family again.

“Best decision ever”

Came to Dr Haines with some major back pain that ended up being a herniated disc. Instead of having spinal fusion surgery, we talked and decided to move forward with stem cell treatment (after some PT). 3 months later and I'm feeling great, and have gotten back to my exercise and life routine from before the back pain. The entire system at Virginia Spinal Institute is more than worth the cost of the treatment, and I would highly recommend it to everyone

“The entire experience was excellent. Thank you for getting me back to lief.”

Same :)

“Dr. Haines' concern for situation was real.”

i would recommend Dr Haines to anyone.

“Excellent!”

Couldn't be any better than Dr. Haines.

“I am extremely pleased.”

Dr. Haines is a wonderful surgeon. I have been in extreme pain for at least 10 years. I had consults with other surgeons and was told there was nothing they could do for me. Dr. Haines told me at my consult that he could get me out of pain. I felt comfortable and very trusting with him. Today is 3 weeks since my surgery and I am very pleased.
I can say tears weld up in my eyes after my surgery and I took my first steps in my hospital room - virtually pain free!!! Dr. Haines is a God send:) He truly has a gift. I am grateful to him for giving me my life back.

“Could not have asked for better expertise, skill, care or outcome.”

They have earned my trust and respect while connecting in a personal and warm manner. We couldn't be any more pleased

“amazing doctor”

Dr. Haines is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He listened to everything i had to say and helped me figure out exactly what the problem was. He really cares about his patients and feels like an ally. He gave clear direction of what I should do and what the exact problem was. He did an amazing job on my disc replacement and fusion and i feel great after my surgery. Best Dr ever!

“I got my life back; an extraordinary turnaround in my quality of life.”

A superb surgery. So many things could go wrong with such a complicated surgical intervention, and none did. What Dr. Haines and his PAs told me would happen, over time, did happen. I am ecstatic about the results of this surgery. i have crawled out of a dark hole and emerged again. Bravo to Dr. Haines and his great team: all of them so thoughtful, focused, and expert.

“I fixed! After nearly two decades of recurring lower back pain I am pain free!”

Dr. Haines and the staff at VSI have been wonderful. Provided clear and understandable details and expectations for all available treatment options and listened to my concerns. We selected a path forward and for the first time in nearly 2 decades I am pain free, no longer do I deal with daily lower back pain!

“Dr. Haines repaired my herniated disc and all my pain is gone.”

Fantastic experience! I was in severe back pain and it was revealed I had a major herniated disc. Dr Haines recommended surgery and within two weeks all my pain was gone and my normal activity was nearly resumed. I expect a full recovery. Everyone at VSI was incredibly professional and helpful. I am extremely pleased with my service - and thank you Dr. Haines!

“Wonderful!!!!!!!”

Dr.Haines was so quick to diagnose my issue, surgery was scheduled and after 3 months I feel better than I have in years. Wish I would have met him years ago!!!

“Dr, Haines took the time to explain everything to me”

Everyone was very nice

“listened. treated. executed. cared.”

Terrific. The entire team from Dr. Haines down were great. They all understood their roles and the entire team exhibited the same level of concern and care that Haines showed me. And a shoutout to Casey Edwards in therapy - really good. whenever there is a chance to refer someone, consider it done.

“I've had a great experience - everyone is professional and helpful. D”

Dr. Haines is great. He takes the time to properly diagnose your issues and explains how best to approach solving your problem. I cannot be more grateful.

I felt cared for during the entire experience.

“it could not have been better!”

It was wonderful. The whole staff was amazing.

“very reliable”

i came to Dr Haines when other doctors in my area would not help me with my condition

Although the drive is 2 hours away, I had full trust in all the decisions Dr. Haines provided before surgery was the final step. Now I feel better than ever.

“Life changing!!!”

Dr Haines was very professional, knowledgeable, informative, and personable from start to finish. Answered all our questions with such confidence as well as the entire team. This procedure has completely changed my life. I am now close to being pain free and functional to enjoy my life to the fullest once again. Thank you so much, Dr Haines and the entire team. You are all amazing!

“Nothing but the best care and doctors at Virginia Spine Institute!”

My experience here at VSI has been outstanding! Every appointment here i've been taken care of. The surgery couldnt have gone any better and im back to doing what I love.

“Best Experience”

Dr. Haines is an outstanding surgeon with amazing bedside manner. He listened to all of my concerns, answered all of my questions, and eased all of fears about having having surgery. From his excellent treatment, investigative mind and ability to connect, you know exactly what his recommended next steps will be in the process. He uses visual aides to explain complicated procedures so that everyday patients can explain. My post operative care was excellent. At the first sign of concern after I returned home, his PA's were able to provide clear instructions to me over the phone for proper care. With unrelated complications after surgery, Dr. Haines, addressed the concerned, diagnostically ruled out any potential links with the surgery, and arranged for an additional overnight stay for observation with modifications to my diet for a food allergy. From the first visit, to the 3 months post operation visit, it has been amazing.

“Clear diagnosis and expectations, great listening skills and I am very pleased with the outcome.”

Willing to work with me on pain management and PT for symptom relief, but provided clear markers for when pain management would not be sufficient. When surgery was scheduled, addressed my concerns wrt medications and ensured the whole hospital team was in sync. Fantastic!

“Dr. Haines is Amazing!”

Dr. Haines has been amazing. He takes his time to explain everything and answer any questions. My surgery relieved the pain I was having in my back and gave me my ability to walk normally and complete daily activities back.

“Excellent experience with perfect plan”

A year ago I met with Dr. Haines due to a back/disc issue. Dr. Haines and his team provided excellent care and insight. The diagnostic was detailed and explained so I was able to make the right decisions based on my situation. I feel as though the recommended plan and care ensured a quick recovery and got me walking/running again quickly! Thank you for everything!

“Dr. Haines gave me my life back - pain free!”

All of my visits were punctual and professional - never a waste of time. Everyone at VA Spine seemed to care about giving it their best. I HIGHLY recommend them for spine and back recovery.

“very good”

great

“positive and successful!!”

I was afraid to go through with the procedure but after having the treatment My life has changed for the better. Dr. Haines has wonderful bedside manner, and is talented. my procedure was a huge success.

“Dr. Haines is amazing, healed my daughters back!”

Dr. Haines listened and was very attentive. Incredible bedside manner and he healed my daughters back immediately. We couldn't be happier with him and his services.

“Grateful! Only two weeks out from surgery and feel better.”

Dr. Haines is great! He took the time to listen to me, explain what was going on and the surgery.

“First rate from diagnosis, to surgery to follow up”

Dr. Haines methodically led me through all available non-surgical remedies, and when they fell short performed surgery and i am feeling significant relief after only two weeks

“Extraordinary, personalized care.”

Dr. Haines is a superb surgeon and has operated on me several times. He always takes the time to really listen and understand my concerns and never minimizes them. I have had excellent results, better than expected, with both surgeries. I trust him and highly recommend without any reservations.

“OUTSTANDING!”

I was in severe pain when I came to VSI. I was quickly diagnosed and was understandably uncomfortable with the prospect of disc fusion and replacement surgery. Dr. Haines is a consummate professional, taking as much time as I needed to answer questions and making me comfortable with the procedure and process. Three months later I am pain-free. I cannot say enough positive about Dr. Haines and the entire VSI staff.

“The best surgical experience I've ever had”

My pain level instantly improved after surgery. Dr. Haines, his staff and the staff at the hospital were amazing. I would highly suggest Dr. Haines to anyone and everyone.

“Excellent all the way around!”

I could not be more satisfied with both VSI and Dr. Haines. I have already recommended him to a couple of my friends and colleagues. I feel I received the very best of the very best.

“excellent communication the explanation of what i should expect after surgery rywere accurate .Staff specifically James were exceptionall patient. were very accurate”

Highly recommend DR Haines and his Team.

“True care and concern with every conversation.”

Every single person on this team is not only kind but willing to listen and help with anything they can do in their power. Dr Haines himself is a true professional and cares more about the overall wellness of his patients which is evident with each and every conversation he has. Overall if I had to do it all over again, I couldn't think of a single other place i would go.

“Realistic medical care”

Dr. Haines has been amazing every step of the way with trying all possible non-surgical treatments before letting me decide if I wanted surgery. No pressure form him on what i should do next, it was nice to have options and pick my own adventure for my treatment plan. Every silly question or ache / pain he and his staff were there to help me understand what I was going through and how we as a team could work through it. Dr. Haines has been more than just another doctor he personally cares about each of his patients and goes above and beyond.

“Excellent!”

My experience with Dr. Haines, and VSI overall, has been amazing. A far cry from my previous surgery experience with other offices where the doctors and staff treated me more as a burden and showed very little willingness or want to help. Dr. Haines and his VSI team have shown compassion towards me and my condition with a focus on getting me back to living life to my fullest. Couldn't be happier!

“Understanding and expertise of situation”

A very long journey of pain, but each and every person encountered was kind, courteous and prompt. I feel I had superb care!

“Dr. Haines is truly the best doctor I have ever had in my life, and he has fixed problems that I never thought were fixable in the first place.”

Dr. Haines is the most thoughtful and personal doctor I have ever met in my life. 8 months ago I was in the most pain I have ever experience, and he came up with a concrete plan to get rid of that pain. Although I did not know what was going to happen, I am happy to say that at 8 months post op I am doing extremely well and finally getting back into the activities that I love to do. Dr. Haines has really changed my life, and I could not be more grateful.

“Excellent. Highly recommended”

After six years of living with pain subsequent to a previous spine surgery, and after consulting with multiple other surgeons about my pain to no avail, I found Dr Haines and I am so thankful. He was able to accurately diagnose my problem and was graciously willing to provide corrective surgery. I believe he was an answer to prayer.

“Excellent results”

Dr Haines is excellent. He spends plenty of time explaining the diagnosis and the treatment options. Surgery went smoothly and zero before surgery pain or numbness.

“Fantastic and thorough with all my concerns and questions.”

Wonderful. They took me through the initial diagnosis to my decision to pursue stem cell injection and answered all of my questions and concerns with care.

“Clear, empathetic, and compassionate”

Dr. Haines has provided me a path forward instead of one where I was heading backwards. His knowledge and skill as a surgeon have helped me to obtain an excellent outlook on life as I move ahead. I thank God that I found his office.

“trustworthy, caring,smart surgeon and staff with a complete focus on you”

intelligent and personable organization that is punctual. Facilities are professional.

“Could not be any happier with the experience and process with him.”

I have had 2 other major back surgeries elsewhere and I would come back to Dr Haines again before even thinking of the other place. He is here to work on your issue so you can continue your life vs change your life to cope with your issues. I could not be happier!

Excellent, very attentive, knowledgeable, helpful, and informative throughout this whole process

“very sharp and willing to spend time explaining”

first two weeks of recovery were tough but staff was helpfull

“Thrilled”

So happy. Having surgery was not something I wanted and tried to push it off. However, in the end it was the best decision I could have made and I am thrilled with the outcome. Dr. Haines took care of me every step of the way and never rushed me or pushed me towards anything I didn't want to do (even though I asked a TON of questions).

“everything has been perfect”

great

“Dr, Haines is a great listener and has very clear answers to questions”

Recommended to VA Spine by Dr. Peyton's office. I was diagnosed immediately with severe spinal stenosis. This is on j3/13, had emergency surgery on 3/17. They worked me into their schedule even with my blood disorder. Dr. Haines explained everything to me in advance of what would be done as well as when he was finished what he did. My experience has been exemplery.

“This surgery has been life changing for me.”

I am very pleased with the entire staff at VSI. I have the upmost respect for Dr. Haines and his PA's. Exceptional bed side manors, listening skills and care of his patients.

Professional, accurate and caring

“Feeling better than I have in two years!”

I had suffered from neck pain and migraines for close to two years. Dr. Haines is the first doctor who took the time to truly listen and find an accurate diagnosis. I really appreciated his kindness, attention to detail, and how he tried to avoid surgery. Even though I ultimately had the surgery, I couldn't be happier with my results. I am feeling better than I have in two years!

“I have the utmost respect and trust in Dr Haines and his team.”

Dr. Haines is always willing to listen, makes me feel like I can trust what he says and has made my quality of life so much better!

“Absolutely the kind of care and solutions I was hoping for!”

After years of lower back pain Dr.Haines and the VSI team gave me the total collaborative care I neded and was looking for. The hospital staff and Dr. Haines VSI team and Physical Therapy team all worked closely together to monitor my progress before and after my surgery. As a result of this teaming effort I am pain free 5 weeks after a 3 level fusion!!!!

“Awesome, couldn't have been a better experience.”

Perfect, he was very professional. We have told everyone about him while promoting his feature on Good Morning America.

“He is professional, personable, and very experienced in my case”

Diagnosed decayed disk condition between L5 and S1, did a spinal fusion and everything went perfect, except the blood clot that I got about three weeks later which had everything to do with the procedure, but little or nothing to do with the provider.One year later I remain very pleased with this provider.

I have recommended him to my closest friends and family. His skills have given me back the quality of life I so desired.
I trust him completely.

“professional, competent, extremely proficient at what they do!”

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. From the minute I entered the office till the moment I was escorted to the front desk; courteous, professional and so very competent!

I would HIGHLY recommend this practice to anyone who might need their expertise!

“Exceptional compassionate doctor that listens and truly cares.”

I met Dr. Haines over two years ago because of an injury I experienced 27 years ago. I was in pain, scared in-addition didn't know where my treatment was going to lead me.

Every visit with him and his staff has been exceptional, professional and genuine. I learned a few months ago that my spine condition go worst and I needed to consider surgery.

Because I really was at the point of no return, I decided to have surgery. I knew I was with the BEST doctor that I have encountered in my lifetime and it was time.

I am now post op two weeks out......this is the best decision I ever made. I am on my way to full recovery to being myself again. Thank you Doctor Haines you are God sent.

This worked out greatly and I feel happy it was with Dr. Hanes and not any other doctor!

“Outstanding care!”

Dr. Haines listened to my concerns and took the time to address each one. Under his care I have started the road to recovery and my pain is gone.

“AWESOME!!!”

“Finally pain free”

Dr Haines is very caring, a great listener and great in his explanations

“awesome experience”

Dr. Haines and his team did amazing work. It took a little bit of time to get the right program going; trying to avoid surgery. But in the long run, I feel exponentially better.

“Amazing Dr Haines”

Two weeks ago I had a L2-L3 fusion, hardware removal and at lease 2 decompressions. I was walking without a walker in the hospital after both surgeries. Now at 2 weeks post I have almost 0 pain and to look at me you'd never know I had surgery. I feel more than blessed to have been led to Dr Haines! He is awesome and would recommend him 100%!

“Six Month Update - Multilevel ACDF”

Feeling great, back to 100%. The team at VSI is amazing. Dr. Haines is an exceptional surgeon. My quality of life was severely impacted before making the decision to have surgery. The results are truly life changing. I can't thank Dr. Haines and the team at VSI enough. Everyone has been a pleasure to work with, thanks again!

“Awesome!”

Great staff, super efficient, excellent explanations. Worth the money to come here.

“Awesome,”

VSI took away 28 years of severe pain and gave me my life back! If you are a new patient and worried about having surgery, DON'T WORRY, let them take away your pain for good.

“So glad I came here.”

Thank you Dr. Haines!!!!!! This was a sudden and hard decision to make and my family and are extremely happy we had you to do the surgery. He spent time with us going over every detail of my diagnosis and the solution and we felt we truly understood what to expect and what the procedure would entail. I have been telling all my friends. God Bless and Thank you!

“Awesome doctor! Gave me my life back!!!”

Awesome doctor! Gave me my life back!!!

“exceeded expectations”

outstanding consultation from pre-visit to post op

“VSI amazed me! I never received awesome care like this before!”

My experience here has been amazing! I felt immediate relief after my first surgery. I never expected to feel that good coming out of the recovery. Dr. Haines is a great surgeon! He is very caring of his patients. He was incredible! I don't have enough kind words to describe him. I have had many surgeries and I have never been treated this kindly and with so much respect. I don't know how to thank all of the people at VSI!

“Absolutely awesome experience”

Never felt better, during hospital I felt like I was on vacation. Healing process the following week was minimal. I went back to work in my office on Wednesday.

“very pleased with results”

Was great experience; before surgery I was somewhat limited in what I could do. I know that I will never be back to where I was before injury, even though I am somewhat limited I am so much better since surgery. I really thank Dr. Haines and staff of VSI for my recovery and feeling so much better.

“Great Pre and Post OPN evaluations, explanations and service.”

I feel that the surgery gave me the quality of life needed by taking the pain away. Looking forward to continue having Dr. Haines and VSI as my Spine doctor to work on the military-service connected Scoliosis issues that I am having.

Thank you for your support.

Respectfully,

Alejandro Diaz Molina

“Amazing spinal fusion with Dr. Haines!”

I was diagnosed with scoliosis at a very young age and have been to multiple doctors. Dr. Haines is by far the best doctor I have ever had. He tried all approaches before we discussed surgery, no other doctor had taken the time to talk specifically about my case and prescribe treatment methods for my individual wants/ needs. I decided to go through with the spinal fusion only because of the time Dr. Haines took to research methods and options for me. I have a 50 degree curve and was in so much pain. I was always so afraid of spinal fusion surgery but Dr. Haines made me feel like I was in good hands and got me through the toughest decision I have ever made. On top of that I am now only two weeks post operation and I feel amazing. So much of my pain is gone and I know it will only continue to get better as I heal. I can't thank Dr. Haines and his team at the Spine Institute enough. They have truly changed my life. I look forward to doing more of the things I love! Thank you VSI!

“Beyond My Expectations!”

Dr. Haines is truly an expert in his field! I no longer have the severe back and leg pain that I was experiencing. He diagnosed the issue and worked with me on non-surgical options until I had no other option but surgery. He fully explained all of the procedures on multiple occasions and was patient with my questions. He has shown great compassion and I appreciate all that he has done for me.

“Awesome solutions to my neck problems”

Dr. Haines performed a very complicated surgery on my neck that was 110% successful.

“Wonderful Doctor”

I am so thankful to have found Dr Haines. He has been a wonderful doctor and for the first time in 3 years, I am on the road to recovery. He diagnosed me quickly, surgery was done and I already feel like a new person. His entire staff is as dedicated as he is to making sure you are taken care of. I would highly recommend him as you won't find another doctor who truly cares and explains everything in detail to you. Thank you Dr Haines for giving me my life back. I am extremely grateful for you and your entire staff.

“Skilled surgeon and great bedside manner.”

Two back operations in three days. Went home in five and recovered beyond expectations.

“A new mobility life”

Met with Dr Haines tp discuss long term back pain and previous surgeries He recommend a lumbar fusion i had this surgery
and now feel wonderful Great Doctor with great listening skills

“Excellent Doctor with a Good bedside manner”

My experience has been excellent with Dr Haines. He is extremely knowledgeable with excellent personal skills. He explained everything that would happen and has followed up at all stages, pre-op and post-op.

Because of his use of advanced surgical techniques, there has been no pain post-op.

I will recommend him to anybody needing help with their back.

The staff at VSI are all professional and very friendly. This is a first for any Doctors office I have visited. Keep it up.

“very professional and caring”

i have been very pleased with the results. Dr. Haines and his staff were very informative and supportive

“Great Expertise”

I had a great experience with Dr. Haines. He's very good at explaining what is going on and what to expect. More importantly, he was a terrific advocate for me with the hospital staff and understanding my personal goals.

“Fabulous experience”

Absolutely wonderful.

“Absolutely the best doctor EVER!”

I came to the Virginia Spine Institute looking for a second opinion. After 10+ years of chronic pain I decided enough was enough. I completed an online contact form over the weekend and they called me by Monday am first thing. From there I made an initial appointment and Dr. Haines was the answer to our prayers. After years of chronic pain, failed treatments and physical therapy and ablations, surgery was our next route. I felt like Dr. Haines was able to pin point my exact issue in a matter of just minutes, where as it took me 10+ years with my doctors. Long story, short, he scheduled me for a 3 level cervical fusion. After the surgery my pain immediately was relieved and I can finally function and do normal everyday functions. I have Dr. Haines and the entire staff at the Virginia Spine Institute to thank. They're service is top-notch and amazing! I cannot thank them enough for giving me my life back.

“Caring doctor with superior service”

Dr. Haines has a wonderful bedside manner and makes you feel very comfortable. He does a good job of explaining your condition and the repair process in layman terms so that you understand what is going on. He truly cares about his patients. He and the staff at VSI are all top-notch. No one can believe that only two weeks ago I could hardly walk and was in extreme pain and now I'm walking straighter and with ease and no pain.

“Finally I have back pain relief”

I have had numbness in my legs and pain in back for several years. In the military I was told there was nothing that could be done, I just had to take pills to control the nerve pain. After separating, I made an appointment with Spine Institute for an expert opinion. I knew within minutes that Dr. Haines was going to ensure we fixed my back and neck problems. It was a nice relief to have a doctor listen to my concerns and create an action plan for pain recovery. After a few treatments for my back , we decided to do surgery. So far that has been great decision. I no longer have the constant nerve pain and tension in my back. My nerves have room to breath now! Thanks again to the whole team for my lumbar recovery.

“Excellent experience and decision making to eliminate the 35-year history of cervical pain.”

I will recommend VSI and the ACDF to friends and family members that could benefit from the procedure.

The VSI team and Reston Medical Center staff did an excellent job assisting me thorough the surgery.

Thank you

“Words Can't express my gratitude”

When I came to Dr. Haines I wasn't able to work efficiently, actively play with my son, or participate in the majority of favorite hobbies. I always uncomfortable and in a great deal of pain more times than not. My L4-L5 and L5-S1 discs were herniated and deteriorating, causing severe chronic nerve damage and pain. Dr. Haines and his team tried pain management injections, which weren"t as effective as we had hoped. They told me I needed double level fusion and disc implants. I was nervous and scared. They explained everything to me extremely well, answered all my questions, they treated me like person, which made it felt more like a friendship that i could trust. My surgery was 3 months ago. I'm PAIN FREE, getting my strength back slowly but surely. followed Dr. Haines directions, regularly attend physical therapy, and obeyed my restrictions. I really am having trouble finding words to articulate my gratitude for Dr. Haines and his team. THEY FIXED ME! My son has his Dad back!

“Great listener and excellent communication skills”

Dr Haines has been exceptional in every regard. He listened to my story, my concerns and articulated my options. Surgical expertise was exceptional and accounts for my rapid recovery and return to a very active lifestyle. I couldn't be more grateful.

“Far excited Expectations - THE BEST!”

My second procedure and feel like Dr. Haines and feel crew fixed me for good. Great experience! VSI should be your only stop.

“Thanks for giving me my life back”

I had a horse accident one year ago, I never thought I'd ever be normal again. I was in pain constantly. Dr. Haines did my surgery two weeks ago and now I feel amazing!

“should have done sooner”

everything better than expected- success. No more back / leg pain. Thanks Dr. Haines

“Excellent Experience in all respects”

Dr. Haines is a great communicator and took the time to explain our issue and what he would do. He showed us on the Xrays what spinal problems existed and used models to show us what he would do. He took extra time to answer all our questions and never once gave the impression that he was rushed. We are already seeing the positive results of the spinal surgery after only 3 months. This is one of the best experiences we have had with any doctor and highly recommend him.

“Best decision I've ever made!”

No better care anywhere. Very professional and caring. Dr. Haines is the best. After 12 years of suffering and other doctors messing me up, Dr. Haines has worked a miracle. I feel better than i have in more than 12 years.

“excellent”

Dr Haines used every option available to find solution dealing with my neck pain Finally surgery solved the problem

“Great experience with positive results”

Great

“excellent diagnosis and surgery”

pain gone recommend for anyone with my symptoms

“End to End Excellence”

From the first visit, through surgery and into follow up appointments, Dr. Haines and his staff were the most professional and knowledgeable team I have encountered. After suffering with pain for more than 3 years, Dr. Haines and the staff at VSI correctly assessed, diagnosed, and corrected my issues with surgery, pain management, and physical therapy. My pain is gone and I wonder why I waited as long as I did.

“Amazing doctor!”

Best experience with a physician at this practice! Fantastic bedside manner and great at recognizing, quickly forming a plan of care, and explaining the plan in a way that both myself with a medical background and my family without a medical background could understand! He went out of his way to get me into surgery ASAP. One year later I'm pain free and never thought I ever would be!

“Great Doctor”

Really listened to my concerns and worked hard accurately arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan.

“Very informative and friendly”
