About

Personal Statement

Early on in my training I knew I wanted to become a spine surgeon. I enjoy the complexity of spine surgery because the challenge makes it interesting. Healing spine injuries can be a long process, but I'm happy to go through it with my patients.

What sets me apart from other surgeons is that I'm a good listener. I figure out someone's specific problem, and not just what the MRI report says or what somebody else has told them.

At UK Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine, we take care of all orthopaedic problems. We take care of bone cancers, complex spine issues and ligament injuries. My favorite part of working here is being able to interact with great colleagues. Working with neurosurgeons and general surgeons close by is advantageous. Treating a variety of spine issues and seeing patients from different areas allows me to offer a broader scope of care. This allows us to handle the most complex care in one place.

  Made appt. for MRI - 1 week later and appt. to see *Dr. C 4 weeks away. After MRI I was not happy to wait 3 wks. to find out what the treatment for my problem would be. I saw MRI report. I called dr's office today 7/20/22 to see if they could make my appt. sooner. I am in pain. They will get dr's permission to override appt. to get me in sooner.

  I very much appreciated Dr. Cassidy's candor in describing my medical situation going forward. It would have saved me countless other appointments with other UK specialists as well as cut my costs in driving from Richmond many times since January of 2021. It was obvious that Dr. Cassidy cared about my overall health and so I am so grateful to him.
