Dr Nate Rawicki was informative, caring, and very knowledgeable. He also gave options that were not surgical. He was patient and answered questions, making me feel very comfortable and confident in his recommendations. I highly recommend him.
— Margo Randall,
Visit went well. All my questions were answered. My progress is doing well.
— John Derise,
The office staff here are very caring and helpful. I was offered a first available appointment or a work in. I took a work in. Three hours after my scheduled appointment time I had had a whole battery of x-rays, seen the nurse, seen the PA, seen the MD, had surgery scheduled and pre-op appointment scheduled with my primary care physician. I cannot imagine why anyone would complain about this office.
I sent a message about a refill after surgery and someone called within the hour to confirm pharmacy and next day someone called to make sure I got it.
As for Dr Harrod he is very professional and to the point but makes sure you understand and tries to alleviate any fears. I understand why my physician in Lafayette sent me to Baton Rouge!
— Lynn Darby,
Everyone is really pleasant and you feel as if you’re a person, not a chart number! They listen, hear and pay attention!
— Yvette Watson Fuselier,
I Have been a patient at this clinic for over 14 years and the service is still amazing!
— Monique Powell,
We want to thank you for all the battles with Aetna and the hospitals, and all of the necessary things that were done on my behalf. Dr. Harrod’s refined expertise has me walking straight with “no back pain.” My legs grow stronger daily and you all are in my thoughts and prayers daily.
We hope that you all enjoy the eats and please know that we love you all for being our heroes.

I had a front fusion OF 2 vertebrae in my neck, BY ANOTHER SURGEON, things were fine for about 3 months then I started having level 9 pain….that surgeon could not find anything wrong…..and each appt was 6 weeks apart…I started seeking a 2nd and 3rd opinion. Dr. McCarthy found a course of action and did a C3 thru C6 fusion on the back side…It has been almost 5 months since the surgery and I feel great! I really was looking for a miracle and he delivered it! He even did a video conference with my insurance provider when they denied me at 1st…Dr McCarthy got it approved. THE ENTIRE STAFF AND PA’S ARE SUPER ALSO. Thank you Dr. McCarthy!!! Thank you Meegan! Thank you Kim!

Dr. Harrod and his staff are excellent!! I had back pain for years and it was to the point of having a fusion from L3 to S1. Dr. Harrod did the surgery and my back feels so much better. I still have pain but not like I had before the surgery. His support staff and office staff are also great. When I call or visit the office, they make sure their patients are taken care of in a timely manner. I would recommend Dr. Harrod to anyone needing answers about back problems, or needing treatment. In my opinion, The Spine Center and Dr. Harrod are the best in Baton Rouge.

Dr. Neuman teamed up with Dr. Harrod to develop a plan that would give me options to choose from. Both are great at explaining things in layman’s terms. Love these guys and their staff.

“I feel fortunate to have Dr. McCarthy as my doctor. He is focused, knowledgable, skilled, confident and respectful. After two cortisone injections and nerve medication that did not last I chose to have ACDF surgery. This was a process of learning and accepting what was and what could be with medical technology. The entire team, especially Christina Landry, helped me through this last year’s journey with their expertise and capable guidance. They have proved themselves to be the very best when it comes to spinal care. Thank you all.”

“Dr. McCarthy is a wonderful physician. He fixed my many years of back pain through a minimally invasive procedure that no other surgeon in the area is offering. It has been over 2 years and I still have no pain. Would recommend him or his awesome staff to any of my family or friends.”
— Patient, 4 years, vitals.com
“Doctor McCarthy is a wonderful physician. He spent a lot of time listening to my concerns and discussed my symptoms and treatments prior. I have had back pain for many years and have seen many doctors. None of them have relieved my symptoms or seemed to even care. Dr. McCarthy diagnosed the problem right away and alleviated my pain through a minimally invasive procedure that no one else in the area does. It has been 2 years now and I still have no pain. He and his wonderful staff saved my life!”
— Betsy, 4 years, healthgrades.com

— Meda-Kay, 5 years, Yelp
Dr. Harrod is amazing. I feel confident, beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is his passion! He has great bed side manners, empathy and the best of what he does! This is not only coming from myself. While I was in the waiting room a young lady proceeded to tell me that Dr. Harrod was on his family vacation out of state when she was in a horrific car accident and that he immediately flew in to reconstruct her entire spine. I had tears of joy! We need more dedicated Dr.s like himself. God Bless!!
— Jamie P.,
