  Dr Frazier literally saved me from being paralyzed, due to a C/4, C/5 fracture and dislocation, in which my injury missed my spinal cord by a hair's width. My injury was in 1998, after being struck by a taxi cab while walking across the street, in Manhattan. It was an emergency surgery and I had a fusion and a titanium plate inserted at the C/4 and C/5 level, and now, in 2023, I am fine, I swim laps, walk miles, and I do not need any other surgeries, and my spine is open and clear. He is the best surgeon in the world as well as being very understanding and empathetic.  I very much recommend him if you need to have any spinal surgery. He is the Dr. you can trust with your life.

  Dr. Frazier was the best thing that happened to me. I came to him after months of injections for pain that were not working. After about 5k in useless treatment I found dr. Frazier.

He has great bedside manners, explains thoroughly what is going on and what the options are. I have multiple back problems and he went for conservative approaches where it was possible and didn't really rush to surgery. I did choose to move fast and he did.

My surgery was done in 3 weeks from me signaling I was ready. His staff, Rosie and Elana, are amazing, supportive and helpful. They were really great and this is the best doctor I have seen.

  As someone who has been suffering from back pain for many years, I cannot recommend Dr. Frazier enough. From my initial consultation to my post-surgery appointments, he has made me feel at ease and confident in his abilities. What set him apart from other doctors was he took time to thoroughly evaluate me and surgery was not his first option. His approach showed me his commitment to providing me with the best care. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and his staff is attentive and friendly. Dr. Frazier cares about his patients well-being and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of back pain management or surgery.

  In my honest opinion, it was a pleasure to have a team of well versed doctors to do my procedure, I had a fusion done in feb. 2022 and a year later I’m feeling better then before, I’m able to do daily activities with no hesitation. I thank DR FRAIZER for doing this procedure on me, and me being able to get back to my normal life , very straightforward and to the point I highly recommend you check it out if you need any spine surgury

  I was referred to Dr Daveed Fraser by my Pmd Dr Chuks Ibeku.  Dr Fraser was not one the doctors under the umbrella of Orthopedic Surgeons in my insurance.  i was hesitant and as a medical professional i was suspicious and was looking for all the reasons why i should not use his service.  . My time was running out as my pain got increasingly worse.  Eventually i told myself why not, at this point, i had my first surgery in 2021, then my second on March 1, 2023.  His professionalism and that of his office staff left me with no questions. i no longer am afraid of approaching a surgical procedure once guided by Dr Fraser.  He taught me all that i need to know and understand. Thank You Dr Daveed Fraser.

  Finally I found the right doctor! After being misdiagnosed and brushed off from one Ortho to the next I found Dr Frasier and knew I made the right choice . He not only took the time to speak with me, he treated me with respect and intelligence. I know my anatomy and physiology very well so we were able to have a detailed conversation of what’s going on so I can understand and I feel confident in his recommendations for PT to resolve my issue! I feel respected and treated like a person, not a patient to get in and out. Thank you sooooo much!

  Dr. Frazier changed my life. I had 24 hour chronic nerve pain for three years from the waist down.  After having Dr. Fraizer's surgery, I woke up with Zero nerve pain and it has been a year to the date (January 10, 2023). I am now able to take care of my two toddlers, get back to my dance world and live LIFE! THANK YOU DR. FRAIZER. I am your biggest fan and appreciate you for LIFE.

  After obtaining 5 “second opinions” from various doctors concerning my spinal cord issue, I was recommended to see Dr Frazier by my acupuncturist.  Dr Frazier happened to be one of the world’s leading surgeons to work with my condition.  After many had told me that I would need surgery and would be left with ONLY 30 - 40% range of movement in my neck, Dr Frazier made it so that I had almost perfectly FULL motion.  Something about him made him stand out from all other surgeons I had visited.  I felt I could trust him and appreciated his level of honesty yet ability to share difficult news in a way that didn’t incite panic in me.  There were also many daily life activities such as riding roller coasters with my kids that other doctors couldn’t ensure I’d be able to do after surgery.  Dr Frazier made it so that I went from being a woman close to being permanently paralyzed to being a woman who could go back to living life as normal enjoying it with her2 children and husband.  I am grateful to Dr Frazier for giving me my life back.

  Doctor Frazier is one of the most caring doctors I have had the pleasure of having. I was having major lower back issues to the point where I could not walk for a couple of days and was in major pain. I live about 70 miles from his office but it was well worth the drive to be seen by him. On my first visit he explained the issue and why the pain meds that the other Drs prescribed weren't working. He told me what my options were and I decided that I wanted to do the surgery. It was the best medical decision I ever made. I had the surgery, it was a success as I was able to walk out of the facility the same day and was on an a flight to Florida the next day. I would definitely recommend Dr Frazier to my family and friends. His staff is no different and will go the length to make sure all is well. They would call me regularily post surgery to find out if everything is ok and if I had any concerns.
