Reviews for Donald Mackenzie, MD

I had a fusion of the L3/L4. Dr Donald MacKenzie was my surgeon. I had previously undergone fusion of the L4/L5/S1. This procedure required clean out of scar tissue from the L4/L5 area, removal of hardware from the L4/L, installation of artificial disk at the L3/L4, and installation of hardware into L3/L4 and joining it to the L4/L5/S1. Dr. MacKenzie chose to use a minimally invasive procedure that required less trauma and preserved muscle tissue in my back than was required for my previous procedures. As a result, recovery has been less painful and my physical strength has returned very quickly. In six weeks, my activity level has gone from walking the hall at the hospital on the first night to now walking over one and a half miles daily. My pain medication went from having to take hydrocodone and methocarbamol 4 times daily to a half pain pill at night and an ibuprofen in the a.m. Dr. MacKenzie is by far the most compassionate, caring, and and attentive doctor I have had the pleasure of knowing. His treatment is excellent. His background in both medical and engineering make him a best solution-oriented professional. His entire staff have demonstrated top proficiency and kindness. For major back care, I recommend, without reservation, Spinal Orthopaedic Surgery in Plano. Follow Dr. MacKenzie's instructions and treatment plan, and you will do great!

Dr. Mackenzie saved my life. I don't know how I would've gotten through my pain without him. He is a very kind warm hearted doctor who pays very close attention and takes the time to get to know you. He listened to me and made me feel like my pain was valid when other Doctor's didnt. His office staff is amazing too and they really go above and beyond for you. If I ever have back pain again, I will definitely be coming back to Dr. Mackenzie!

After multiple visits with other doctors saying nothing was wrong with me, Dr. Mackenzie was the first one to take the time to listen & then go step by step in an understandable way to diagnose my problem. After doing everything possible to alleviate my pain, only then did he say that surgery was inevitable due to disc degeration. I had the surgery, and the prescribed physical therapy. I walked every day to continue the healing process & I became pain-free. That was in 2010. I am still pain-free today. Anyone I know that has back or neck problems, I recommend Dr. Mackenzie as the BEST doctor in the metroplex. I came back after 8.5 years with another issue, & again, I became so much better after physical therapy & work exercising at home. Thank you again, Dr. Mackenzie!

I highly recommend Dr. Mackenzie and the entire staff. They couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. I had been on crutches for two months.. and in constant excruciating pain with a herniated disc. I wanted to exhaust all of my options prior to going into surgery. I walked into the hospital on crutches, had my surgery, went home and hung up the crutches! WAY TO GO DR. MACKENZIE!!

Absolutely, the best that I have felt in three years related to the discomfort of constant lower back pain and sciatica !! Amazingly, this result was achieved without surgery and a constant diet of pain meds. Instead, Dr. McKenzie methodically approached my back pain and leg issues via his hypothesis of what my problem possibly was based on the information that I shared with him and the immediate pain issues that I was dealing with. I was sent by Dr. MacKenzie to Dr. P. Flavill who did nerve testing that confirmed Dr. MacKenzie's suspicions of the source of my problem. Dr. MacKenzie then clearly explained to me what the testing confirmed and how my problem could be corrected via very targeted therapy. I immediately knew after my first week of therapy that we were on the right track !! While other Doctor's dismissed my pain as being directly related to age related degenerative spine issues, Dr. MacKenzie chose not to dismiss my problem as being solely related to this !! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Dr. MacKenzie !!

Dr Mackenzie is a wonderful surgeon and did a fantastic job on my latest surgery. His office even sent me a plant during my recovery, and I have never had a surgeon care like he has. I completely recommend him for any back surgery needs.
