“Excellent, would recommend wholeheartedly.”
Problem solved and pain free with just one surgery. Dr. Schuler was clear with what we were going to do, and took the time to address any questions or concerns we had.

“Excellent communication”
From the first visit the medical staff listened and worked me and my body to have a solution that not only helped my condition but suited my life stile. I have recommended the Virginia Spine Institute to several friends and will continue to do so.

“I broke it and he fixed it!!”
Dr Schuler and Tao did an awesome job diagnosing my spinal issue and correcting it. It was a complex issue that required continued treatments but the team hung in there with me and got me back on my feet again. VSI is a great facility and I will continue to trust them with my future care.
