While many clinics measure success by the number of patients they rush in and out of their office and operating room, #SASpine defines success by the number of people who are able to live better lives after receiving our care. You will find Dr Cyr’s compassion second to none. From the moment he meets a patient, his sincerity is evident. The amount of time he spends with patients proves his drive to educate them about their conditions and the multitude of options to treat them. His training at the number 1 program in the country for Neurosurgery and Orthopaedic surgery as the only spine fellow trained by both departments, followed by his role as a professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, consultant to the Surgeon General and Pentagon, and years of performing both simple and complex surgeries has equipped him with the skills rarely seen in the spine community. His outcomes prove his experience and expertise. As another proof of Dr Cyr’s compassion, he is frequently called on to perform surgeries on the most complicated problems when many other surgeons have refused to treat patients who have “no hope” of getting better. He proves that wrong consistently.
