Interests

Dr. Cornett's clinical expertise is in all aspects of adult spine surgery (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar). In his spine-only practice, Dr. Cornett treats a variety of conditions including degenerative conditions/arthritis, spinal stenosis, myelopathy, spondylolisthesis, disc herniations, instability, scoliosis, and tumors.

As an orthopaedic spine surgeon, I pride myself on giving a thorough, honest opinion for each patient.  If I don’t feel surgery is the right thing for your condition, I won’t recommend it. I also am happy to direct patients on different conservative options as needed. I have a background as a physical therapist prior to becoming a physician/spine surgeon, and have fellowship training in complex spine surgery and general orthopedic surgery. If surgery is needed, I offer any approach available – from  the simplest to the most complex procedures in my spine-only practice. - Dr. Cornett

Dr. Cornett is an outstanding physician and will recommend him to anyone that I know with ortho injuries or problems. He explains issues very well, and answers all questions. Never feel I'm being rushed.

Showed and explained x-rays. Talked about potential treatments as well as what would not be able to change or fix so to speak. Did not seemed rushed when explaining. Ask me what questions I had.

Everybody and everything about our visit was very good. My only "complaint" is having to wait 30 minutes to see the doctor. I also understand things happen and emergencies occur, but try to adhere 2 appointment times as closely as possible.
