“I was looking for a specialist in complex scoliosis correction. Dr. Enguidanos sat with me for nearly an hour. He explained exactly what he saw in my imaging, what he believed could be achieved, and what the risks were. He never oversold it. Two years later I stand straight for the first time in my adult life. I walked my daughter down the aisle.”

Adult Scoliosis Correction | Niceville, Florida
A selection of patient experiences from Dr. Enguidanos’s practice across scoliosis, revision surgery, degenerative conditions, and minimally invasive procedures.
"Three prior surgeries had failed at different practices. I came to Dr. Enguidanos for a specialized second opinion. He found what no one else had found — a hardware failure that had been missed — and corrected it. I have been pain-free for eighteen months."
ADULT SCOLIOSIS CORRECTION
"Dr. Enguidanos operated on my daughter when she was fourteen. She is now twenty-two and playing competitive soccer. I cannot describe what it means to watch her run. He gave her that."
Fort Walton Beach, Florida | Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
"I could not walk more than fifty feet without stopping. My neurologist sent me to Dr. Enguidanos. The surgery was minimally invasive and I was home the same day. Within six weeks I was walking two miles a day."
Destin, Florida | Minimally Invasive Laminectomy
"At sixty-seven I thought I was too old for surgery. Dr. Enguidanos told me age was not the limiting factor — my overall health was good and the curve was progressing. He was right to operate and I wish I had come sooner."
Niceville, Florida | Adult Deformity Correction
"My first fusion was done elsewhere five years ago. The level above it collapsed and I was back to square one. Dr. Enguidanos extended the construct and addressed the new problem. He explained everything clearly and never made me feel like a number."
Pensacola, Florida | Revision and Extension Fusion
"I was a thirty-four year old with a ruptured disc and sciatica so bad I could not sit. Dr. Enguidanos tried conservative treatment first — which I appreciated. When it did not work he operated. I was back to work in three weeks."
