Dr Christian Schwindack - Neurosurgeon

"Doctor Chris Schwindack & Chelsea are a great team of specialists , easy to talk to and everything was super explained clearly before the surgery and after the surgery and explained on how I would feel afterwards I had a boulding disc & spur removed went in with chronic pain and in a couple of hours later NO pain it was like turning the light switch off, a big thank you Dr Chris Schwindack you saved my life"

"Was referred to him at Goldcoast University Hospital for a disc issue. Mostly interacted with his team and they are excellent. Felt very heard, understood and appropriately diagnosed and treated. Had my options explained well, and chose to undergo a surgery that the Dr Schwindack explained to me very well. Woke up post op feeling much better, walking within 3 hours after being unable to for 3 months, no complications, quality of life improved. Had a positive experience and I am very grateful. Of course, everyone’s experience and circumstances will vary. But I had good outcomes in my situation."

"A special thank you to the staff member Chelsea. After having my surgery canceled by Gold Coast Hospital 3 times and transferred to the private hospital by mistake, Chelsea has been very helpful and understanding and trying to assist in the matter despite being being very restricted to what she can do given the large gap between the public and private system. Chelsea your efforts and and caring and professionalism in this matter have made this very emotionally draining situation a lot easier to handle. 10/10 Staff Member."

"In January this year I had spinal surgery done by Dr Schwindack. At this time I could walk only max 500 meters with extreme pain. Today I was walking 4 km without any pain on a treadmill in 60 minutes. My age is 79 years. Dr Schwindack and his secretary have been all time extremely caring."

"I am a very active 40 year old (exercising daily) and had a herniated disc mid way through 2021 in the L5/S1 giving me severe sciatic pain in my right leg. I couldn’t sit, stand and was getting woken up night from the pain. After 4 months of agony throughout 2021 I was referred by my GP to Dr Chris Schwindack. I had the nerve blocking injection into the area which only provided mild relief for 2 weeks. I was very hesitant at going down the surgical route but after throwing everything at it from a rehabilitation perspective I decided to undergo a Lumbar Microdiscectomy. Dr Chris is a straight shooter who calls it like it is. Made me aware fo the risks but reassured me this was the best path forward. The surgery was a raging success and was walking again down the hospital hallway within 3 hours post operation. Fast forward 8 weeks and I am running, exercising in the gym and the pain is mostly gone. I was provided great post operation follow up from Dr Chris & Chelsea and they were accessible for any questions or concerns I had along the way. Back pain really sucks. If you need to do the surgical option, Dr Chris is the man for the job!"
