I absolutely love Dr Monroe and his staff. Not only was everyone sweet, but professional, but they make everything so easy - from checking in, to seeing the Dr and Pa, through checking out.Dr Monroe performed a Microdiscectomy on my low back, and did an absolutely amazing job. My scarred healed beautifully and I no longer have the problems I did before. Thank you so much Dr Monroe!

Dr. Monroe has been phenomenal in my journey, since last July. He is transparent, open & realistic. I was fortunate to have been transported from Panama City, and have met him and Kate.After my surgeries, Dr. Monroe Mouna & Kelsey continued their care of me, always bringing the reality of my recovery & addressing any concerns/questions, anytime. I could not recommend a better neurosurgeon(& staff).In addition, I am also seeing Dr. Johnson, who is also transparent, easy to talk with, answers all questions & offers different avenues for pain management.This physicians group is second to none! Thank you!

Best experience with a physician, possibly ever. Everyone, including Dr. Johnson and his MA Miranda were wonderful, informative, focused on *me* including my concerns and burning questions. I was treated as an equal when it came to developing my treatment plan and continuing my recovery journey. I feel lucky to have this team of professionals helping with my care. I feel lucky to have been heard and understood, instead of being dismissed. Thanks so much ya’ll!

Great Experience. They were able to work me in and give me the information and meds that I needed. Extremely grateful for the facility here. It saved me a lot of money and allowed me to get back to work sooner and gave me a clear view of what was going on with my body.

The pain in my upper back, traps and left arm was quickly approaching suicidal pain levels!!Dr. Imhoff at Florida Neuro Pain & Spine Center proceeded with an X-ray prior to a Chiropractic treatment to discover hardware failure from a prior neck surgery. Unfortunately the vertebrae decompression bracket had broken along with the screw which had never attached to my spine and were grinding the nerves and vertebrae causing excruciating pain with nerve & tissue damage, to the point that my left arm was basically useless.Dr. Imhoff referred me to Dr. Monroe at Coastal Neurosurgery & Spine in Destin FL. Dr. Monroe and staff are positively one of, if not the Best Neuro surgeons in his field!! After numerous Orthopedic Surgeries over many years with a couple being total nightmares, I can honestly say Dr. Monroe’s Team is second to none!! Absolutely the most amazing surgical experience and outstanding results ever!! He gave me a second chance at life!!

Dr. Monroe and PA Kate have been gifted with the magic of the healing touch and an amazing patient focused bedside manner. He is the best neurosurgeon in the Emerald Coast and worth the drive. I am selective with choosing the most qualified specialty surgeons as I have had less than positive experiences in the past. I trust their decisions and know I am in good hands. I brag to everyone and am proud of the surgery they performed.Samantha Lackey

My 90 year old mother, who has been a patient of Dr.Wingo will not return to this rude, non-attentive doctor and I use the term doctor loosely. Dr. Wingo needs to follow the hipocratic oath.

October 12 of 2022 I had my C3 through C7 vertebrae fused together. Before the surgery I was having numbness in my arm shoulder and overall pain on the right side of my body. As we started the process to have my neck repaired dr. Monroe and staff made us feel comfortable with the surgery through consultations and office meetings. The surgery took approximately six hours, and upon waking I could feel immediately that the pain was gone on my right side of my body, and in my arm. Doctors Monroe’s attention to detail was amazing. I am now 10 weeks out of surgery and my neck feels better than it has in over 20 years. I’m getting stronger every day and through phone conversations and follow ups. I am amazed with this whole process and the doctors abilities. I would highly recommend Dr. Monroe to anyone seeking surgical attention.

PA Kate was amazing! She took the time to talk through images, studies, and just have a super informative AND comforting conversation, bc good/bad I know what’s going on with my body. I didn’t just get a ‘don’t recommend surgery’ (what I got from another neuro/place), I got an education and even a plan. My experience at Coastal was a positive one. So grateful, thank you!

Dr. Monroe did an outstanding job in a lumbar laminectomy he performed. I have been suffering with severe sciatica and back pain for years, and now, two weeks post surgery, I am completely pain free. What a relief!. I can enjoy life again! He and his entire staff are awesome. Highly recommend.
My first impression the first time I walked through the door.Very clean and organized waiting area. Professional and polite staff.There is not a very long waiting time as they are committed to being proficient and on time with appointments.Since my first visit I have now had surgery performed by Doctor Timothy Monroe on my lower back and healing very nicely three weeks later.The incision was very clean and everything was explained to me before my surgery including my one day hospital stay and after my surgery including check up appointments.Doctor Monroe has been very professional and explained everything to me the entire time and shows very personal care more so than I have ever seen by any doctor.I had my staples from my incision removed yesterday and the staff handled this with care as they have everything else.They have always changed the dressing on my incision and confirmed it is healing nicely.I would definitely recommend “Coastal Neurosurgery and Spine” to anyone as I feelI have received the best healthcare and treatment I could have expected.They have definitely exceeded myexpectations.I would like to personally thank the entire staff and Doctor Timothy Monroe for the best positive experience and quality of healthcare as they have my upmost respect, gratitude and appreciation.

I just saw Dr. Wingo and he did not do anything to help me except say go swimming and lose 30 to 40 pounds. Never mind that I was 38 pounds lighter when the scans where taken of my 6 tears, partial herniation, and ddd. I was recently put on new medicine that made me rapidly put on weight which I'm now off of and am losing the weight. But my back hurt just as bad before I got fat as it does now. I had so much hope that I would finally get out of pain and be able to go back to work guess I'll just hurt instead thanks doc..... UPDATE: 10 months later and my new doctor at Orthopedic and Associates Dr. Cook has had to fuse my lumbar and my neck. I am very great ful that one of your staff members cared enough to stop me and suggest Dr. Cook because he found and replaced the crushed disc with metal plates. He actually looked at my scans and even ordered new ones. I am so thankful that I did not listen to Dr. Wingo because had I listened to him there's a very good chance I would be paralyzed today. So do your body a huge favor and go see a real doctor like Dr. Cook at Orthopedic and Associates they will actually care about your health.

I was referred by my PCM for back and neck pain associated with Ehlers danlos hyper mobility. Dr. Patel was great at helping me find resources, taught me how to organize my health records, recognized another issue related to my condition which was confirmed by another specialist. Dwight has been absolutely amazing! He’s been my advocate, always goes above and beyond to make sure that I get the care that I need. He’s always quick to respond to any questions and is always there when I need help. He’s helped me with appointments and has continued to find the best doctors and takes the time to listen and address any difficulties I’ve experienced. Today I met Vicki, she was absolutely amazing! She took much needed time to talk with me and explain everything but also listened. She understood my condition and issues related to it and is now going to help ensure my healthcare needs are met. I honestly don’t know where I’d be right now if I didn’t have them. While my health needs are complex they all continue to make sure that I’m taken care of. They really do care and do everything they can to get you better.

I want to take the time to leave a special review for both Dr. Timothy Monroe and his PA, Vicki Jarrett. Not only am I one of the Medical Assistants for Coastal Neurosurgery and Spine, I am also now a (very satisfied) patient. Several months back, I started experiencing SEVERE knee pain, which eventually moved up the back of my leg and into my low back and hips. A lumbar MRI was ordered which showed a very large cyst on my spine which was compressing the canal. This was a pain that I had never experienced, and it literally took my breath away at times. I had an L3/L4 laminectomy with cyst removal on November 10, 2021. After the surgery, I felt IMMEDIATE relief, and I am now back to work, exercising, and feeling great. For any of our patients, or anyone looking to become a patient, you can message me, and I am happy to share my experience. I am forever grateful, Dr. Monroe and Vicki!

When your name is called, you are greeted with more smiles. You are treated as a person, not as another chart.They listen to what you have to say and treat you with respect.I feel very lucky to be able to come to this office. I just want to thank everyone in this office for all you do for your patients.

They are a pain clinic in disguise. Sign posted on the wall says $125 for refill visits. No follow up unless you desire surgery. They sell your personal information to everyone they can. Disappointed.

Dr Monroe and his assistant Katie have been awesome. I had surgery from another surgeon two years before and that's why I had a one star rating. Dr Monroe has great bedside manner and a great team backing him. I thank him for letting me feel my left arm again. And, I'm gaining muscle growth and feel. Cheers

In the hospital Dr creek was like surgery surgery when asked if I had insurance it was no surgery don’t think it’s a good idea. So get to go home in the same pain I came in. Also after I said I don’t have insurance haven’t seen him. So guess it just depends on if your lucky enough to have insurance or not

Dr. Aaron Creek & his Team at the Spine Institute are the BEST! I could barely walk due to severe sciatica nerve pain in my left leg several months ago. I was able to schedule lower back surgery (several vertebrae fusions) within a month. It ended up being two separate surgeries, one through the front one day and the other through the lower back the second day. The procedures went well with no issues. It has been several months since the surgery and I'm doing Great! I'm back to walking several miles a day pain free! I Highly recommend Dr. Aaron Creek and his Team at the Spine Institute. Furthermore, Anna Braun , Dr. Creeks Lead Assistant, provided excellent assistance ensuring I had everything I needed before & after the surgeries. Lastly, to everybody at Sacred Heart hospital in Destine who provided Outstanding and Caring support during my entire time there.Chris Bohlman Ret. USAF
