Charles J Nivens MD PA Spine Medicine 3 Plantation Park Drive, Bluffton, SC 29910

"My daughter's primary doctor has been sending her to every specialit in SC, and none of them, for almost 2 years, could tell her why she was in pain & couldn't walk or stand for long periods of time. They started telling her she was psychotic, and its anxiety. She has scoliosis & all specialists & primary knew this, but none of them looked into it more. After many nights of crying, yelling, and not knowing if we should keep going to the hospital, or keep calling the Dr, who keeps telling you its in your head, we took it amongst ourselves, and made an appointment with Dr. Nivens, and he had answers for her, he took the time to listen to her & examine her, now she can work on getting some kind of comfort & some kind of relief without being told she's psychotic & it will pass. I just want to take this time to thank Dr. Nivens for taking this time with her & her feeling so much better knowing someone knows she is having these issues & is going to help her. Thank you for your time, Lisa DeGennaro"

"5 STARS DOES NOT REFLECT THE PRO THIS DR RATES. I HAVE BEEN IN PAIN WITH LOWER BACK ISSUES FOR OVER A YEAR, MRI REVEALED 5 BULGING LUMBAR DISCS . DR NIVENS EVALUATED SITUATION DECIDED SURGERY WAS NOT THE ANSWER, ADMINISTERED A STEROID SHOT AND I AM WITHOUT PAIN AND FUNCTIONING LIKE I DID YEARS AGO. THANK YOU DR FOR GIVING ME A PAIN FREE LIFE AGAIN."

"Outstanding performance from the best spine surgeon in SC. I had the Mild procedure dealing with stenosis. By the time I decided to get the procedure, I couldn’t play golf and eventually couldn’t even walk well. Almost immediately following the surgery, I felt better, balanced myself again and could tie my shoes without pain. Now, 4 weeks later, I feel amazing, I’m playing golf again and taking longer walks with my wife! Thank you Dr Nivens!"

"I was seeing Dr.Nivens for almost a yr now. He was treating me with hydrocodone for a period of time which is the only thing that gave me comfort. We tried epidural shots didn't take. Now I need a refill and SAID NO. Without any reason. Called num of time's just for an answer why. NOT A RETURN PHONE CALL. Witch I think is very unperftional. Now I have to go through his insurance fraud game to see him a 2 week wait for a possible prescription. Could careless."
