Had a full spinal fusion on the 6th. Still dealing with exteme pain and bloating but only two weeks out. Always responds to our calls and texts. We live in a very hard part of an area where it's hard to find medical care and he's been so helpful through the process. I had an ER visit a few days ago and he met us at the hospital (Duke) on a Sunday. Truly goes above and beyond. read less

Your office was always clean and comfortable, and your disposition was always kind and considerate. Your kindness made both me and my husband have faith in your ability to fix my back issues. You're one of a kind. Duke Raleigh hospital nurses were amazing. They were very attentive to my needs and made sure I followed the rules when getting out of bed. They were very nice, compassionate, and respectful. They took the time to talk with my husband whenever he had questions. A special thanks to the night shift. They were superb! The OT and PT gentlemen were very nice and showed me how to use the outpatient equipment. The only problem was their organization charged me even after saying my insurance company would pay for it. Had I known that, we would have only taken home the walker. I did not need the other stuff. Your hospitals and doctor's offices are far more professional, caring, knowledgeable, clean, and considerate than the Novant Hospitals and offices near me. In your office, I felt like a patient. In Novant, you feel like a number. It would be so nice if we had a Duke-Wilmington office that was staffed with the professional staff at your hospitals and offices. Until then, I will drive the two hours for all my healthcare needs. Secured by Paubox - HITRUST CSF certified read less

I wore a back brace at night but was told surgery could still be in my future in many years. My doctor throughout my teenage years was a pediatric doctor, so I started looking online for someone closer to where I currently live. I found Dr. Hey via Google and decided to pay him a visit after I read all of the positive reviews. Let me just say - the reviews are not lying! My first visit, Dr. Hey was super informative when speaking about my options. He did not in any way try to persuade me one way or another, which made me feel like he truly cares about my quality of life and not just the payout. He made sure I understood every part of the consultation by presenting visual guides and graphs. He even offered to call/FaceTime any person(s) that couldn’t make it to the appointment but wanted to hear what Dr. Hey had to say. I ended up choosing to start with physical therapy at the clinic. The Physical Therapist, Mariah, is so great! She makes me feel super comfortable when performing the exercises. When I feel tired or am struggling with a new exercise, she’s right there encouraging me and supporting me. I truly look forward to my appointments because of her! Thank you Hey Clinic! read less

I found Dr Hey after researching the net for months to find the best revision adult scoliosis in the country. I read about his background, reviews and everything else before I decided to have my 4th revision surgery witn him. Since the surgery with Dr Hey in 2005 until last year, I lived an active life that I never thought I would. I did Zumba,and ran marathons in my fifties and now sixties. I did break parts of my rods which necessitated another revision surgery in MAY 2017. Not one moment did I entertained the idea of going to another surgeon. 10 months later now, I feel better than ever and back to my normal active life. I even took a one month trip to the Middle East four months post surgery and had no problem being the active tourist all day long. Although Dr Hey is one of the best revision surgeons in the country, he is humble, warm and caring. You actually feel you immediately belong to his extended family. read less

She took the time to explain everything that I needed to be doing at home to protect my back from further damage. She answered all my questions in such a way that even this old man could understand.

My son has been a patient there for several years for his scoliosis. There were several options available to address the problem and they were all explained-my many questions being patiently answered. Surgery was not pushed as the only way to go, although we did end up going that route. We were nervous at the prospect of surgery, but our son could not have been in better hands. Dr. Hey- he did a great job and the care that he showed for our son, as a person, not just a patient-it made a huge difference for us. read less

Dr. Hey was an amazing doctor and was very positive. He and his staff really helped me understand what was going on with my spine and helped me understand how my spinal fusion would go.

I decided to try another doctor, did some research and found Dr. Hey. The very first visit was wildly different with Dr. Hey. He was 100% committed to me and my wife, very knowledgeable, comforting, and took as much time as we needed. He’s a busy man, but nothing else mattered once he was sitting with us. I don’t want to set expectations too high for him, but after my surgery, before I was discharged I saw him at least once a day, if not twice - his PAs filled in now and then. My first surgeon I saw the day I was discharged and that was it. A good man with a great staff! Thank you Dr. Hey! read less

I had gone from 5'7 & 3/4 to 5'3" pre surgery. Local spine surgeons told me I was deformed (I had become so with my spine) & no surgeon in this city (I live a 4 hour drive from the RALEIGH area) had the training & skills to TOUCH my spine in surgery, they would be doing me a dis-service. He Reccomended I seek a surgeon experienced & trained in performing deformity surgeries. I took the time & did a lot of research. Dr. Hey is Harvard trained PLUS. He continued his research/study, had excellent reviews, as well as had performed MANY successful, major spine surgeries on all ages of patients with varieties of spinal issues, many critical & complicated- like mine. I had scoliosis, flat back, was leaning forward, was bulging to the left, a couple of humps had formed in the rear, & my right hip was horizontal instead of vertical. I could practically set a tea cup on my right hip. In short, my spine was a mess, my pain level had reached chronic pain stage & I am 62 years old. Sharing all this about me just to let you know that for a surgeon to "tackle surgery" on my spine was a major feat. Now, back to Dr. Hey. Drove to RALEIGH for a consult. His office x-rayed, I found Dr. Hey to be very personable, very professional yet without "airs" or a detached attitude. He was straightforward, very honest and kind. He explained how much easier younger folks healed and bounced back to an active lifestyle. Their bones were less brittle & weak, & so on. I understood that, I also understood my spine had sapped quality of life, that I would be a good patient following his instructions, (Mandatory for good post surgery results ) That he had a qualified background, interesting pursuits of study to assist in his work, that I could put my trust in him as a surgeon & pursue the surgery. When I told him that I did not take blood, he became concerned, saying it's a high blood loss surgery and would be a long surgery. I made available to him the non blood options I would take which have been proven to be successful, very- . He modified the surgery a little to a level he was comfortable with. I had to respect his expertise, he was the qualified expert... certainly not me. He takes a genuine interest in all his patients and LOVES HIS WORK! It shows. I do not see how the man can perform so many different spine surgeries on so many people/ages & treat each one with sincere caring interest & concern. He is GENUINE & again, it's quite evident, the man really "puts his heart as well as his skills" into his work. It shows. I had NO DOUBT I had chosen the right surgeon, regardless of what my outcome would be. When I saw Dr. Hey at Duke RALEIGH Hospital the next morning after surgery, he asked me if I had lots of prayers going on for the surgery. I replied that I did. He said he felt those prayers during surgery, it went amazingly well, there was some blood loss but he considered it minimal, the surgery lasted 5 hours which was shorter in length than he had anticipated, the suturing went well, moving the spine went well, everything went well. If you are ready to comitt to following post surgery instructions and need AN EXCELLENT, SKILLED, LIKEABLE, SINCERE SPINE SURGEON who has the training, expertise, experience in performing many difficult, varied spine surgeries, I cannot reccomend Dr. Hey enough. He's excellent & I like him. He LOVES HIS WORK! read less

Not only is his medical expertise and surgical skill off the charts, he truly understands the importance of addressing his patients’ emotional and psychological needs along with their physical ones. His ability to relate to his patients and their families with affection, sensitivity, and respect is a treasure. Dr. Hey performed spinal fusion surgery on two of my children, a son aged nine and a daughter aged thirteen, who had severe scoliosis. When my husband and I first found out about their condition a couple of years ago, we were heartbroken and didn’t know where to turn. The two orthopedic surgeons we had seen near our home on Long Island provided little comfort. They seemed rushed and relayed upsetting news with minimal discussion or attempts to educate us. In contrast, our first phone consultation with Dr. Hey was such a relief! He took the time to explain to us all of the pros and cons of different treatment options and to put us at ease about potential surgery. When it became clear that surgery would be inevitable for both children, there was no doubt that bringing them to the Hey Clinic would be well worth the trip. After discussing it with Dr. Hey, we decided to schedule both surgeries for the same day to minimize travel and time off of work. Another benefit was that the kids could recover together and empathize with each other. Needless to say, it was one of the hardest days of our lives, but Dr. Hey and his team, along with the caring staff of WakeMed Hospital, made our experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Dr. Hey inspired confidence with his positive, energetic attitude and kept us posted every step of the way. He even texted us X-rays of their straightened spines immediately after the surgeries, which was very reassuring. The post-op care at the hospital was no less attentive. Dr. Hey kept a close watch on their pain management, and his physician assistant, Rachel Griffin, responded to our many questions in a timely, knowledgeable, and thorough manner. The night before we were due to head home, my kids still felt queasy from the pain meds, so Dr. Hey performed a remarkable feat of medicine to stimulate their appetites. He delivered a fresh pizza to their hospital room! That’s just one of the many ways he went beyond the call of duty. Once we got home, the Hey Clinic continued to be responsive to our needs. While the first week post-op was predictably very trying, we couldn’t believe how quickly our children improved with each subsequent week. Our son, whose main sport is gymnastics, took us by surprise by doing a cartwheel three weeks post-op and a back handspring after just five weeks. Our daughter, who had a longer spinal fusion and therefore a longer healing process, was virtually pain-free five weeks after the surgery and ready to resume her favorite activity, dance. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Hey and his staff for accompanying us on this challenging journey from beginning to end. I would highly recommend the Hey Clinic to anyone needing scoliosis treatment or spine surgery. You will be seen as more than a patient; you will be seen as a person. read less

It was a big decision to proceed with a back fusion to correct scoliosis. I work in the medical field and Dr. Loyd Hey was highly recommended and his reputation is stellar throughout the industry, even internationally. All of those things paled in comparison to watching this man in action. He is brilliant, compassionate, listens and responds to every need, showed up at the hospital day and night to guide my 16 year old daughter back to health. This is definitely a calling for Dr. Hey and he shines brighter than any of the others out there. I am so happy that my daughter can now live her life to the fullest without pain. We are forever grateful to Dr. Hey, his whole medical team and the staff at Duke Raleigh Hospital. Every single hand the touched my daughter did so with the utmost care, skill and compassion. Job well done! read less
