Dr. Patricia Zadnik Sullivan, MD

Dr. Sullivan saved my life. I was living in severe pain from a spinal condition called tethered cord syndrome, and she was able to operate on me and ultimately “fix” my spine. She is extremely down to earth, compassionate, and exceptionally knowledgeable, and she truly cares about all of her patients. Before I had my surgery scheduled with her, I was quickly losing hope and thought that there was no way I’d be able to continue living with severe spinal pain before having surgery with her. Because of her, I am no longer suicidal (but still continue to see a therapist & psychiatrist) and can look forward to living the rest of my life without severe spinal pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Sullivan.

Kind, thorough and patient. Dr. Sullivan took her time to be sure that I understood my condition and show me how my hematoma had improved since the initial diagnostic CT. I appreciated her care and attention and look forward to being followed by her.

Dr sullivan was so great, she talked to me about what my options were for surgery, along with her recommendations. I had to have surgery on my lumbar area for severe spinal stenosis. She put me at ease because she is really so good at what she does, and very caring to her patients. I had surgery at Rhode Island Hospital to remove the compressions in my lumbar area spine. I stayed overnight one night and was home to recover the following day. The surgery changed my life, as I am no more in pain from the compressions in my lower spine. My scar was perfect and healed very nicely and you can barely see it! I highly recommend her, thank you to her and Daisy who is her office staff. They were wonderful and filling out all of my paperwork for work and FMLA. Thank you again Karen
