EXCELLENT, caring and exceptional -- that is Dr. Jeffords and his entire staff. Dr. Jeffords has preformed 2 very extensive spine surgeries on me -- I'm pain free, I'm still walking and it is because of Dr. Jeffords along with Shelby who assisted in my post op care. Saying thank you doesn't express the gratitude I have for this outstanding team. Karen Cornelius

Dr. PAUL JEFFORDS did my cervical spine surgery 20 years ago. I drive from Newnan to St. Joseph in Atlanta because I trust him that much! Another surgeon is not an option for me.
