Case Study

Dexter Dwight, a classical percussionist, was struggling with weakness in his left side due to spinal cord compression caused by cervical degenerative disease. This condition significantly impacted his ability to perform. Dr. Matthew Cummock, a neurosurgeon at UHealth/Jackson Neurosurgery, utilized a minimally invasive procedure involving the placement of a 3D printed titanium inter-body graft to relieve the pressure on Dexter's spinal cord. Dexter's recovery was swift, “I was amazed that I only spent one night in the hospital”. He is now back in the orchestra, grateful for the expert care provided by Dr. Cummock and the innovative techniques available at UHealth/Jackson Neurosurgery.

Definitely one of the best doctors I’ve seen! He was extremely thorough in his examination. I did not feel rushed, and he took his time with me. He helped explain difficult concepts involving my care and MRI in a way I could understand and provided reassurance and other options to me.

Outstanding. Ten thumbs up. Could not have been a better experience. A pain of many years standing is gone after my fusion. Dr. Cummock is a gentleman and updated my family daily, for which my wife was very appreciative.
