Reading some of these unfavorable comments have no merit. When I have visited the office and spoken to staff on the phone it has always exceeded my expectations. Wait too long in.
the waiting room to see the doc? That’s a selfish attitude. That means the doc is thorough, and discovered some unexpected condition with a patient. It means he will be thorough with you too. Most the patients I saw in the office were retired and elderly. With their health conditions. most of them wouldn’t have schedules that would conflict waiting longer in the waiting room.
I had a Anterior Cervical Fusion by Dr.Chung. Excellent. Successful. Pain diminished significantly. Most patients I saw in the office were in pain. Their entire lives revolve on using addictive pain killers. That“s not a way to live. Yet, many of those patients refuse surgery for pain management.
At the present time. there is a national epidemic pain killer abuse. Doctors are being scrutinized very closely because nowdays the painkillers sold on the streets are all Rx written by Drs and filled at local pharmacies.
CO Comp Spine doesn’t play that game. Some patients should go elsewhere for healthcare and find crooked Dr’s who will give them unlimited pain killers on demand.

First of all, this review has nothing to do with the physicians. From what I’ve experienced, the physicians seem experienced, knowledgeable, and concerned for your well-being. Here’s the bad: this clinic is so busy that you will be waiting for an appt longer than you can bear. Living with horrible pain and downing prescription narcotics to manage your pain until you can get an appt is no way to live your life. Find a clinic that will be more responsive to your needs.

Before you even consider going to this place, you need to Google Dr Timothy Kuklo.
Always investigate any Doctor you plan on seeing. DORA is a good start.
Google Dr. Kuklo for the whole story. I think you will find things that will change your mind about seeing tnis doctor.

I was being seen for pain 7 years ago. The pain doctor they had at the time was very good and very compassionate. He kept me going with injections so I could continue to work. I eventually had surgery, fused two disc, that was 5 years ago. I always was treated well by the medical personnel however, there were a couple office people that were rude and demeaning. I now have three more bulging disc and have thought about returning instead of going to a new surgeon. However as much as I liked Dr. Chung and the amazing job he did with my back I refuse to put myself through the stress of having to deal with the office staff that were so rude. This is not the entire office staff, only two ladies. I don’t remember their names. The stress from the disrespect of these two women and lack of any empathy is enough to bring on an anxiety attack. It baffles me to no end as to why they keep these women on after the reviews. Seeing a new surgeon.

Lori has a way of making a caller feel like an inconvenience. To offer a benefit of a doubt, maybe I called during her break… twice.

I’ve been seeing Dr Kuklo for over a year. He is great. Seems genuine and really cares. He makes sure you REALLY undersand what ‘s going on in your spine and what you can do about it .I am 26 and after my daughter and I fell 12 feet onto concrete, I had a micro distectomy (¹⁰⁄₂₀₁₄). While it helped with my nerve pain (which is HUGE), the actual back pain is still there. I don’t know that I would have gone through the surgery if I knew I would still have as much pain as I do. I guess I was just hoping to feel like a new me. And i lost a lot of work time and $. But that was a decision that I made, after he provided me will all the information I needed. He was even determined to avoid distorting my tattoo, which I appreciated. The incision is thin and discreet. I’m hoping that my back pain improves in the next few months and that I can say the surgery was well worth it. It’s impossible to make your back new again but CCSI can help you sort through the options.

Both my housemate and I have been going here for almost a year. For me, this is the difference between screaming in pain and being able to walk and function on a daily basis.
Yes, I did need to have had a cortisone shot. This allowed me to be able to start physical therapy, which has continued to improve my situation. While my spine has some problems due to extreme pre-existings beginning when I was young — and I may still need surgery — going here has given me back my life.
My housemate has also been extremely pleased with the care he has had there. He had been completely unable to walk but is now getting the therapy he needs. I should also note, unlike what others are saying, neither of us has EVER been given a single pill nor medication. I was given a shot, but that was all that was needed to help me start the therapy.
I thoroughly recommend them.

I would never recommend them in a million years!!! They are very rude and treated me like a felon!!! I saw Mary Jane, Dr. Clapp’s nurse and she hands out pills like they are candy. I missed a new patient appt with Dr. Clapp yesterday (my cornea was scratched and is VERY PAINFUL!), they will not see me again because I had cancelled!!! Who acts like that? They don’t have their stuff together and don’t know what the other hand is doing. Pitiful!!!
Too bad I couldn’t give them 0 stars.

A recently retired service member. VA recommended this office to treat my service related back issues. I called this office about a month ago trying to make an appointment. However, a scheduler (name I cannot recall) whom I spoke to was so unpleasant, I terminated the phone call without making an appointment. Since then, someone from this office has called stating that I have an appointment and even received a packet stating that I have an appointment. Today, I received another recording saying that I have an appointment tomorrow with this place. I will NEVER trust my healthcare with an organization that hires and condones an ill-mannered staff member. Planning to sent a message to VA to point out this hospital’s horrible inefficiency and service.

This practice is more focused towards the surgery end of things and not the treatment. I have chronic pain and since they can’t find a source of the pain, they will not treat me any longer. However, m y interaction with the practice was really good, everyone was nice and helpful.

I visited this practice in October 2012 due to a recurring neck problem. I was having acute pain and selected them because they could schedule me quickly — with a physician’s assistant. While they acknowledge the chronic nature of my pain, because they could see nothing unusual in my x-ray they said there was nothing they could do to help. Feels like it should be «surgical» spine institute, not «comprehensive». I was expecting a more comprehensive approach and no matter how many ways I asked if they could help, they said there was nothing they could do. And today I received the bill showing that the PA’s charge was $ 480 not including x-rays.
