The Marina Spine Center

No doubt they have excellent doctors, unforfunately if you do not see them within six months they will drop you and will not see you again. After six months, you will be considered a new patient, Law enforcement or not.

Dr Watkins, III, saved my life! He got to the bottom of issues I was having after not realizing I had a broken neck. Without him & his team I would probably be paralyzed right now. Endlessly grateful to him & his medical treatment team for their care. They are extremely kind & the best of the very best. 💚

The staff at Marine Spine Center are absolutely the most helpful people. Dr. Robert Watkins IV made me feel so relaxed and informed about my surgery. I hope not to ever have to do this again but if I do Marine Spine Center is my choice.

Simply put, if my own Grandchildren, God forbid, ever needed an orthopedic surgery I'd request Watkins IV, Watkins III, and Dr. Chang (who does takes Anthem Blue Cross PPO) That says it all. (RT) Technologist, Gary, down the hall is as excellent. Back room staff are polite and made it happen (decompression) anterior fusion C5-C6-C7. You've got to try all and every healthcare modality repeatedly first and then that moment finally comes (in my case stubbornly 3 yrs of everything but surgery). 'You'll know when it's time', (quoting Dr. Hunt), go seek out the Marina Spine Center team. Don't stay compressed too long. Waiting too long makes their job harder and ups the odds for residual sensation in our complex neurological system.. Good luck. MjL

After many years of constant pain on both legs and feet, and after three failed partial laminectomies, Dr. Chang performed my lumbar fusion, and from the moment I woke up from surgery the pain was gone. It’s been one-year post-op now and I am still pain free. Thank you Dr. Chang.
