In 2013 Dr. Sandquist performed Chiari Malformation type 1 decompression surgery on me. In the time since I have had few repercussions from that. Now I find myself in need for a neurosurgeon again for a nagging back issue and am once again scheduled to see Dr. Sandquist. I know that all my questions will be answered, that I will not feel rushed through my appointment and ultimately I trust him with my life.

Two years since my last post. Another operation. If I could give Oregon Clinic a star it would be a one. It is hard to get the info you need. As to Dr. Sandquist
I give a big five star. First month though I would never walk again. Year later I can walk all I want no pain. First time in years. It takes time but worth it at the other end.

Dr. Sandquist was very easy to talk to, explained my prognosis , options, and imaging in clear and concise terms. He was very patient with all of my questions and concerns, and didn’t rush through my visit. I was a first time patient, and feel lucky to have found a Dr. that I felt comfortable and at ease with on the first try. My appointment was a Tele-Appt; the video and audio stream was very clear, and I felt like I received the same level of care as I would had I been in the actual office. I would recommend him to others based in what I have seen so far. I’m keeping him. :)

I think Dr. Sandquist is wonderful! He is exceptionally kind and gentle, as well as being personable and fun to talk to. He is very concerned about patient safety, and will do as little or as much surgery as he thinks is safest for me. I have seen him for 4 different conditions over 8 years: 2 resolved on their own soon after I saw him, on one other he recommended no surgery. I am currently planning to do a small, conservative surgery with him. I think he is an all round great doctor, and I always recommend him.

Dr. Sandquist is a GREAT guy. I haven't seen Dr. Sandguist since 2012. I just seen him in 2018.. I needed the skipper to look into my neck again. He hasn't changed. He is extremely kind and considerate and very compassionate. In my opinion he is the best neurosurgeon in the state of Oregon and if not in the United States of America.
Thanks, James Goings.

After suffering several years from pain and numbness radiating from my fingers up to my shoulder, I met with Dr. Sandquist. After a nerve study and MRI, I was diagnosed with cervical stenosis, radiculopathy and myelopathy. He performed cervical laminoplasty and foraminotomies on C-4 through C-7. The surgery was a complete success. I was immediately free of the pain and numbness in my hands, arm and shoulders. I highly recommend Dr. Sandquist! At 6 wks. post surgery, I am healing very well!

I scheduled an appointment at the earliest date which was one month out. They canceled that appointment because the dr wasn't there. It took two more weeks to get in to see him. I had an appointment at 10am. I got called back to a room at 10:10. Dr Sandquist didn't see me until 12:10. I waited for two hours for him to tell me in five minutes that my insurance would most likely not cover his recommended treatment. He could have told me that at 10:10am or over the phone.
