Testimonials

I had a spinal fusion by Dr. Cubbage in TX a little over a month ago. He prescribed me this device called a SpinalStim by a company called Orthofix. I have to wear it 2 hours a day for probably 4-5 months. This device uses a low- level PEMF to help activate the body’s natural healing process with a 97% success with it’s effectiveness in healing spinal fusions! He also said that they use this device for people who have had a failed spinal fusion. I was thinking that maybe this information might help someone!

Dr. Cubbage does God’s handy work. I must admit I tried everything not to have disc replacement surgery. After 9 months of fighting the fact that my disc was not going to slip back into place I had to take the plunge. I was in serious pain and had very to little movement in my neck. I had forgotten what it felt like to finish a bottle of water or take that last bit of a glass of wine. I couldn’t look up at the stars or put my neck back to rinse my hair. I had no quality of life pre-surgery. I was depressed and in major pain. Dr. Cubbage and his staff truly care for their patients. He has a sweet disposition and a great bedside manner. I’m now 4 months post surgery and my neck feels amazing! I cried when I could look up at the stars. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I understand if you’re scared to take that leap, I was too, but God gave Dr. Cubbage a true gift and I promise you’ll be in amazing hands- literally- by choosing Dr. Cubbage. I cried tears of joy on my last post op appointment because of the long journey I had with him and his staff. They are all a God send and I couldn’t be more thankful for each of them. I will forever be grateful for the rest of my life.

I am very impressed with Dr Cubbage and his team. They were very courteous and thorough. I highly recommend him.

Dr Cubbage and his staff are some of the most attentive orthos I have ever been to. I had to have surgery on my lower back and I could not be any happier with the results. When I woke up the pain was immediately gone and only surgical pain remained. Would highly recommend Dr Cubbage to anyone with back or neck issues!

Wonderful experience with Dr Cubbage and staff. Answered all of my questions in terms I could understand..

Dr Cubbage did an artificial disk replacement on my L5/S1. I can’t say enough good things about him and the procedure. I haven’t been in pain since the surgery and the recovery time is very fast.

I didn’t see Dr Cubbage, saw Tim who is great) because this was a visit where I only needed an x-ray to make sure the pain I was experiencing wasn’t from coming from any movement in last years surgery. I can say that everyone on Dr Cubbage’s team is excellent and saw me through my surgery long after…

Dr. Cubbage & staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and informative. Dr. Cubbage fixed my neck 8 years ago and I am back for lower back surgery now. I trust his expertise.

Dr. Cubbage explains the medical issues in a way that a layperson can understand, which allows the patient to feel involved and participating in his treatment. Unlike most doctors, he takes the time to explain in detail the medical issues and the plan to solve it. Last, he really listens to the patient’s concerns and anxieties about a given treatment or procedure and prepares his treatment plan to address and allay same. Also, Vickie and others that work for Dr. Cubbage are fantastic. The best I have encountered, and I have had a lot of surgical treatments. They take care of everything for you—scheduling, insurance, etc—so the patient can focus on treatment. I highly recommend.

Dr. Cubbage has the hands of God! He has truly been blessed with stability and effectiveness of putting my body back together. His staff is amazing- Tim & Vickie. I appreciate your patience with me. Last year, I had C3,4,5,6,7 replaced in my neck. I was 50 years old with a spine fracture that cracked and twisted my odontoid as well as a C2 fracture that healed. Superman himself had a C2 fracture and we know his story. God blessed me with healing, but many years I suffered as this happened at a very young age! When I finally made my way to Dr. Cubbage, my arms and legs w/feet were going numb. I had severe sciatica and wanted to die. After his surgery, I felt like my injury was fresh and I was immediately in his office before a follow up to get pain meds. He and his staff understood my misery and stepped in to accommodate my helplessness. It was a slow painful recovery but I wasn’t paralyzed! I could have been many years prior and he stepped in and saved me & my life. I had contemplated a variety of resources to end my misery, he wouldn’t hear that. For the first time someone cared. As I stand I currently need S1 L5 replaced. I do know there are consequences but fully trust God lead me to the hands of Dr. Cubbage. I appreciate his patience & his staff as well, they have tried their best to help me pull through. Though I still have unrelated issues, they listen as if they’re by my side going through my misery, I refuse to go anywhere else. I am more than happy with my medical care & the warming of completeness of their concern. I appreciate his hugs, Tim’s hugs, Vicki’s hugs & their follow ups and eagerness to get me in their office even on an emergency. Dr. Cubbage is a class act God giving gift with his hands. I love him for saving my life, my mobility & his fabulous medical family. They’re complete package that allow me one more day of living. I don’t need to be a 100%! I expect I will have other issues, but I know in my soul they’re there. I couldn’t be more appreciative, I love them all…

After going to 4 different surgeons and being dismissed for over a year about constant back pain Dr. Cubbage was the only Doctor who not only listened to me but also was able to find/fix the issue I had been having for such a long time! Being 21 years old and having back surgery was not on my list and definitely wasn’t something I wanted but I trusted him and I’m so glad I did! My life is changed because of him and I’m so grateful to him and his team! I’m 3 weeks post op and I couldn’t be happier that I finally am living a life pain free again! Thank you!

I have been going to Dr. Cubbage for about 10 years. As always, I received exceeded care from he and his staff. This last time was no different. Thanks!

Short wait times and a very friendly staff who are very professional. Dr. Cubbage, PA Moore handled their busy and didn’t rush to leave the room and explained thoroughly my procedure. Post op, attentiveness was also great. A shout out to my new friend and compassionate RN Karen. Thank you all!!!!

My son had two herniated discs and has been seeing Dr. Cubbage for quite some time. We delayed surgery until he graduated from high school, and Dr. Cubbage performed surgery on him 9/2018. Dr. Cubbage and Karen Everingham were incredible they were with us every step of the way. I would definitely recommend them to anyone I meet. Thank you so much for your help, and my son is doing great thanks to you all.

Awesome doctor. He made my surgery so easy & recovery was a breeze. Thanx Dr. Cubbage for a job done excellently!!!

Dr. Cubbage is amazing! It was a long road for me with back pain. I had my surgery, and on the next day of getting up I was sore but my back pain was gone. WOW! I could not believe it I wanted to cry I felt great! All I could do is think about Dr. Cubbage and his team and their special skills that made me feel great again. It’s been two months since my surgery and I still feel great. Thank you Dr. Cubbage!

Dr. Cubbage is all for trying conservative approaches before even discussing surgery. He only recommends a surgical approach when all else has failed or there is so much damage that waiting could cause irreversible damage. I am very pleased with his work & glad I did it. (Microdiscectomy & Laminotomy). I also liked how his post op directions stress the importance of strict walking schedule. Thanks to Dr. Cubbage, Karen, Billing Dept. & the Pre-Op/Post-Op

I am very pleased with the orthopedic services provided by Dr. Matthew Cubbage and his nurse Karen. Dr. Cubbage and Karen are the best spine and neck specialist team in the Houston / Cypress Texas area. Their professionalism, extensive knowledge, compassionate caring and overall medical services are extraordinaire. If you live in the Houston area or even hours away, I highly recommend Dr. Cubbage for your orthopedic needs.

AMAZING CARE. I’m a collegiate golfer at the U of Ark. During summer I had severe back pain that went down my leg. My uncle Dr. Clifford Kitten recommended I see Dr. Matthew Cubbage. The doc and his nurse Karen are awesome. He ordered tests, called late evening (same day) with results and I had surgery the next morning. During my recovery Karen contacted me many times. Thanks Dr. Cubbage and Karen for your swift care! I can’t wait to start playing golf again.

Dr. Cubbage is the definition of extraordinary. Dr. Cubbage and his colleague, Dr. Moore, recently (1 mo. ago) successfully completed a 3-spot laminectomy to resolve my spinal stenosis problems. My recovery is going very well. The consultation I received while making the decision to have the surgery was clear and definitive. Drs. Cubbage and Moore took the time to explain why it was necessary, what I could expect in terms of improvement, and any risks involved. Very caring doctors & nurses!

After FOUR different opinions & 3 months of research, I decided on Dr. Cubbage for a lumbar artificial disk replacement. A huge part of that decision was thanks to his assistant Karen, who was amazing EVERY step of the way! She called me from home when her day was too busy and she stopped by to see me at the hospital the day of the surgery! The entire team is amazing and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU Karen, Dr. Cubbage, & team!

Dr. Cubbage and his staff have been extremely helpful to me with a variety of issues. Despite having a busy practice, I’m almost always able to schedule an appt. within a few days of calling and receive a response to my email or phone questions often the same day. It’s rare to find a Dr. as knowledgalble, accommodating, and concerned as Dr. Cubbage.

I had a very pleasant experience with every aspect with Dr. Cubbage, his staff PA Tim and Karen and all the scheduling people. My surgery was a difficult 7 disc procedures that went very well and recovery has been amazing. I will use these folks again if necessary and would highly recommend them.

He and his team are top notch beyond great and his nurse Karen is by far one of the best nurse I have had thanks for all the help.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Cubbage and all of his staff. My sister had went to him a month earlier and had the same cervical surgery as I had. He told me why I had to have surgery on my neck prior to my back. I did agree a few days later that my neck hurt much worse than my back. When my neck is recovered, I plan on going back to him for back surgery. I mentioned his name to other medical personnel & they had nothing to say but good things and plus other patients did too.

I would highly recommend Dr. Cubbage to friends and relatives. I felt completely at ease with his explanation of test results, the diagnosis given, and the alternatives offered. He takes his time with you and answers any questions you may have. He has an excellent nurse who is caring, kind and goes above and beyond the call of duty, she is awesome! Should the need arise I would certainly use Dr. Cubbage again and again.

Our family has used Advanced Orthopedics for twenty years for a variety of injuries. When it was diagnosed that degeneration in the use of my hands was related to an old neck injury, Dr. Cubbage was the first doctor I thought of

I’ve been seeing Dr Cubbage for 6 six for my back problems. 2 surgeries later. There isn’t another person I would trust.

Dr Cubbage explained everything to me prior to having neck surgery, he was very thorough. Office staff was very friendly, expecially Karen, called when i had questions about anything prior to surgery and also afterwards.

I have been seeing Dr. Cubbage for about 5 years for myself. His work is very professional and very informative with whatever your problem. He has helped me from reoccurring back problems with surgery and the best exercise program for my condition. I am so grateful that Dr. Cubbage is one of my Doctors. My life would not be the same if not for him. Thank you Dr. Cubbage for giving me the ability to be active in doing most of the things I love to do. I highly recommend to friends & family.

I had surgery 6/5/2017 performed by Dr Cubbage. His office staff are all wonderful and knowledgeable and helpful. I never had to wait long periods of time to see the Dr for my office visits. I immediately felt confident in Dr Cubbage and his staff. I was being kept as pain free as was possible both pre op as well as post op. I am feeling fantastic at this time and expect to continue to do so. I would highly recommend Dr Cubbage to anyone.

Dr. Matthew Cubbage is a SUPERB spinal surgeon!! His surgical skills and resulting outcomes for the patient place him in a very elite category. In addition, he genuinely cares, is a GREAT listener, and very attentive to detail. If you are looking for the MVP of spinal surgeons, Dr. Cubbage is the one for you!! Finally, I must include he has hired a SUPER staff that is so patient oriented.

Outstanding Physicians. I’ve had two surgeries here, one on my foot with Dr. Bacon, and an extensive back surgery with Dr. Cubbage. I’m new to the area and my wife found me these surgeons. I have to say that each surgery I’ve had with these physicians have had excellent results. I was very pleased with my foot surgery and decided to see Dr. Cubbage for my back. Other surgeons I’ve seen regarding my back only gave me a 50/50 success rate. I have to say, the low back surgery with Dr. Cubbage

Doctor and staff were very attentive to my needs and questions during the pre and post surgery process. Still on the mend but pain is subsizing.

MY Experience with Dr. cubbage and his staff was excellent

Dr. Cubbage has been my Orthopedic surgeon for 9 years and unfortunately I have had both Lumbar and Cervical Fusions, Dr. Cubbage has done a great job and Tim (PA) and Karen (Nurse)on his staff are outstanding to work with. Dr. Cubbage is caring, straight forward in his discussions and the procedures although not fun, are done in a truly professional manner with minimal disruption to your return to a normal life.

Dr. Cubbage has been a life saver for me! Over the last 11 years I have had 3 spine surgeries: a lumbar fusion, a cervival disc replacement & a lumbar hemilaminectomy with lateral recess decompression and foraminotomy. He is not quick to do surgery, only doing it if it is absolutely necessary, and each surgery has been an extreme success! His bedside mannerism is fabulous, he listens & cares. 5 stars x 3 from me!!!

Great experience!

I had a double disc replacement by Dr. Cubbage. He is the best. He’s smart, honest, funny, calming and delicate. His staff are all caring, listening and answering all my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Cubbage and his team If you’re considering spinal or neck surgery.

If you are an existing patient of Dr. Cubbage then I’m sure you will agree with the following however if you are someone who is looking for a surgeon and team in the Houston area I hope you find the following useful.

Dr. Cubbage just completed my fifth of a total of seven back surgeries. I first met with Dr. Cubbage and his team due to my first two surgeries completely failing causing numerous issues. What impressed me from our first discussion is that he actually took the time to listen to my concerns and treated me with care.

Five surgeries later and that has still not changed and in fact the relationship has improved where I feel it is very much a team decision regarding when to have surgery and when to hold off and try alternatives.

Speaking of the team, Dr. Cubbage is supported by a superb one. Dr. Tim Moore, Karen, and Saul are beyond wonderful and are there for me and I would think every patient.

So if you are looking for an excellent surgeon, supported by an excellent team that will listen and help you through the difficult decision of surgery, and the road to recovery afterwards, I would always recommend Dr. Cubbage.

Thank You Dr. C, Tim, Saul, and especially Karen.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cubbage for several years. Each time of go there, he always presents a thorough plan of care. From ordering the most appropriate diagnostic tests to making sure you understand each step of his plan of care. He consistently instills confidence that you are the road to recovery. Plus his assistant Karen is extremely knowledgeable and very caring!  

On Feb. 3, 2016 I had lumbar spine surgery by Dr. Cubbage. I was told after the surgery my back pain would be gone. He was right. I had no back pain the day after my surgery. I was off medications the following week. It’s been six weeks now, and I’m pain free. His team took great care and gave instructions that I still follow. Any questions I had after my surgery were quickly answered by Karen Everingham and Tim Moore. 

How I felt before:

I felt wide variety of pain in my lower back/ L5-S1/ hip area. It was uncomfortable to sit or stand for long periods of time. I had constant numbness in my legs and feet. The lower part of my abdomen/trunk area was weak. I was always fatigued.

How I was treated in the process:

I received a high level of care throughout the entire process, which was quite a long journey 8 years and counting. Dr. Cubbage and his team educated my family and myself on my condition, as well as wise advise that involved both physical therapy and pain management. They were extremely attentive to all of the concerns we had. Dr. Cubbage went above and beyond the call of what was asked of him. I felt that Dr. Cubbage truly cared about my wellbeing and always had my best interest at heart.

After surgery:

"Born Again" type feeling. What I found to be exhausting on a daily basis is now a piece of cake. I have improved feeling in my lower body. My endurance and strength gets better every day (4 months post- surgery). I can pick up and hold my children without pain, play a round of golf, run, and exercise like a normal, healthy individual.

I’ve seen Dr. Cubbage twice in the last 6 years. Wishing I would never have to see a doctor for orthopedic care EVER but should you ever find the need for this .. this is the place. I remember being so scared and frightened the first time we met and was told I needed surgery. Afterwards I was so relieved from the pain and respected the after care I received that it was no in doubt the first place I chose to go to for my most recent issues. They did such a wonderful job the first time it was so easy for me to make the decision of having to see him again. I would have never chosen any other place to go. I had trust and faith in him that I will continue to return for whatever my future needs may be. All the staff and nurses (hey saying a shout out to Karen!) are always so friendly and helpful. Not the typical visit of no name and only a paper id feeling of most visits these days. They really do care and respect your needs and feelings during the entire process. I am truly appreciative and hope I don’t have to see you for awhile!!! Lol. Much love and respect! 

I highly recommend Dr. Cubbage if you have spinal problems. After reviewing my tests, he explained my options and I decided to have surgery. Dr. Cubbage did a laminectomy with discectomy on L3-L4 in late 2013. Now I feel wonderful compared to the pain and physical limitations I had before the surgery. I am exercising each day, which I could not do beforehand. Doctor surveys always ask about wait time and it is reasonable, 10-20 minutes. But truthfully, if necessary, I would wait hours to see Dr. Cubbage because he is worth the wait. I think he is a very good surgeon that thrives on improving quality of life for people. I appreciate his work and hope he will be available if I (or friends and family) have any spinal problems. Also, he has operated on my father and a friend. Both had good results. Thank you Dr. Cubbage and your staff for improving my life. Tara S. 

In the era of full disclosure… I did have to wade through several phone numbers posted for the doctor to get to a live person. When will companies learn this is annoying? However, once I did, I talked to a young lady and she was quite helpful and worked with me on my concerns. About Dr Cubbage and his medical assistant. I felt they both took my condition very seriously as they went through a through examination to figure out what was wrong with me. So far, I’m very pleased with Dr. Cubbage and his staff. If that changes, I’ll post it… I am NOT politically correct.
