On my first visit, Dr. Chilton explained thoroughly how my condition would be corrected. He was patient with my questions and was upfront about the risks and what my expectations could be. Dr. Chilton performed two spinal fusions at the same time and I was back to work in three weeks with no more leg pain.
I highly recommend Dr. Chilton and his team for spinal surgery. I could not be happier with the results.

While Dr. Chilton may be a good neurosurgeon with other procedures he performs, I cannot recommend him for management of Chiari Malformation. I have seen him twice and was not impressed either visit. He doesn't review my CT scan or MRI's with me, he isn't willing to order a CINE MRI to check CSF flow (even though I have excellent insurance), he tells me there are no true Chiari specialists (absolutely untrue), and gives me no further options for management. I have researched my condition extensively, and was disappointed to not find the professional help I was looking for.

I have visited Dr Chilton’s office a few times since my injury on 2/18/20. The entire team has been very helpful and kind each time I had questions. They have kept open communication and reminders about appointments and what is needed each visit. I appreciate Dr Chilton and his team for all they do.

the best doctor for my spine issues. he was referred to me by one of my patients. i looked him up on line, saw his 5 star rating. what others said about him, choice him. well worth the time to wait for the first appointment. his team is the best. i always got in fast. my surgery went very well. i was impressed 100%. looking at my x rays i could tell that every screw and bar were placed even. i hope he does not retire! if i need one again, i hope he is still working. his fnp-bc anne dailey is awesome as well !

Dr. Chilton removed my brain tumor. It was a large surgery that took two Neurosurgeons 9 hours to perform. Every other health professional who reviewed his work, noted what an outstanding job he did, including several Doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, where I received my Proton radiation treatment to remove the small remaining bit of tumor that could not be removed surgically. Not only is Dr. Chilton an excellent surgeon, he is also a kind and warm human being who really cares, and I am so grateful for him, and the outstanding job he did for me.

We would highly recommend Dr Chilton. He is the best neurosurgeon and he saved my husband's life on more than one occasion. I believe without Dr Chilton's expertise and skill as a surgeon, my husband may not be here today. Dr Chilton did surgery on my mother-in-law and did miracles with her also. She now walks upright straight without back pain. I can't say enough about how fortunate our family is to have Dr. Chilton as our doctor.

Dr. Chilton has done five surgeries on me in the last twenty plus years. He has done a wonderful job keeping me standing up right and moving. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a neurosurgeon. The nursing staff at the hospital also had nothing but great things to say about him. Two of them told me he had operated on them. What more needs to be said. I think he is the best. Judi

Dr. Chilton provides thoughtful, compassionate care for his patients. He was my doctor of choice for carpal tunnel surgery in 1999 and lumbar laminectomy & spinal fusion in 2010. Every question is answered and his staff goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable & knowledgeable about procedures.

Dr. Chilton takes time to really listen to his patients and is never dismissive of your pain and other symptoms. He is very thorough as far as testing and always offers options and explains each one completely and in a way that can be understood. I never feel rushed at all.

Dr Chilton is a very knowledgeable physician who takes the time to listen and explain your medical issues. He is very passionate about your issues and makes sure that you understand them and what he will do to resolve them. He takes the time to have the proper testing is done to ensure that the correct steps are taken. I would recommend him to family and friends without any hesitation.
