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.

    Dr. Cassidy is a wonderful doctor. He is caring and kind. I chose him for my mother since I knew him from previous employment at UK before I retired. His resident was just as caring and kind. And the person (Adrian) who helped us get ready for the x ray was very good at his job also. The x ray tech was pleasant and mom said she was nice to her while doing the x ray. We had great care there.

      Dr Cassidy was great. He is very knowledgable , but knew how to bring his info down to where my husband and I could understand. One part of my MRI could showed something that could have been serious and need surgery. He calmly explained options and we made a decision together.

      I have been seeing Dr Cassidy since Dr Shaffer moved. He was his understudy. They both gave me my life back from the fusion they performed. My mom had the same problems and at that point Dr Cassidy was her doctor. I have already recommended him to several people and will always do the same.

      I don't even know that I will ever return to this facility despite a very desperate need for real solutions to the structural skeletal issues caused by the degradation of my spine and the damage done by my hematomas to my skeletal structure and its degrade over time.
