Dr. Christie Bankes Mina, MD

Completely satisfied so far.The issue for surgical intervention has been corrected.

Dr Mina treated me like I was a special patient and I was her only concern

Do Christie Mina has been my lifeline after 2004 & 2011 back surgeries and a upcoming 2020 back surgery. She's warm, friendly, thorough and comforting. My life always returns to normal and pain free after my surgeries. Wouldn't want anyone else doing my surgeries. Thank you so much Dr Mina

I am very pleased with my progress so far. I can feel more strength in my left hand and arm already

Very thankful to have such a wonderful doctor. I am pretty much pain free!

How refreshing to have a Doctor Who was willing to take the time, and had the time, to sit down w/me and listen!!! I was very impressed with her and loved the fact that I got this follow-up survey especially the fact that it came to me via text due to its convenience!

Dr. Mina is clearly very skilled and knowledgeable, but she also took the time to listen to me with empathy and compassion. She gave me sound advice and never made me feel silly for the questions I asked or the concerns I voiced. I felt very confident that I was receiving top notch care with her.

She is a wonderful surgeon, the best in the upstate.

Dr. Mina is my superhero! Her diagnosis and treatment of my neck pain was spot on. Surgery did the trick! No more neck pain. Dr. Mina’s bedside manner is the best ever! She is a good listener and displays caring and love for her patients.

Dr. Mina is outstanding; she is very experienced and most of all very honest. She gave us her attention and all the time we needed to answer all our concerns. She is knowledgeable and confident.

Thank you for helping me determine that my pain and weakness to my left side of my body was not an orthopedic problem. You were thorough in determining my unexplained weakness to my non dominant side of my body. You found the cause to be from ischemic damage to the spinal cord lining and lining to my brain. A huge thank you to you Dr. Mena and your very courteous staff. I would and will recommend your practice to others.

Entering into Dr. Mina's office today with uncertainty, she talked (in depths) to me and my family concerning my medical condition. She did not make us feel rushed in any way. She explain my MRI results as she showed us on the monitor. It was very easy to explain, as she used simple words to bring my condition to a clearer meaning. I cannot thank her enough for taking up time with me and my family. Stay Awesome and may God continue to bless you and your practice, as you help others and make them feel good about their outcome by offering the best care!

Dr. Mina gave me my life back and I am so thankful. I had a vertebra that collapsed and was pushing on a nerve that made walking almost impossible. After surgery I am pain free and back to doing what I want to do. Couldn’t ask for a better surgical experience.

When I had surgery for a spinal cord stimulator, I saw a nurse for my post OP appointment. I did not see the doctor again until I needed the stimulatir removed. I expressed surgical glue would would not hold my skin, so when the incision fell open, her office refused to see me. O had yo see my primary for wound care

I love Dr. Mina. She replaced a disc in my neck and it was perfect. Now I am seeing her for a different issue and I don’t go back for a follow up for 6 more weeks to be referred to a different doctor and am going through PT right now and am in severe pain daily and not sleeping.

I was referred to her after extensive evaluation by my doctor. I was told by her office however that I would have to see her "neurologist" first and they refused to make an appointment with her. We decided to go ahead and see her neurologist who acted as her gatekeeper. He said he would review my X-rays with her and then get back to us. When we finally got to communicate with him again he did not even remember my case. On reviewing an X-ray study by my doctor he said she decided not to see us. Apparently she makes decisions based on an X-ray and the neurologist without examining you or taking your history. I was referred to her because of my complex spine issue and will be letting my doctor know she refused to even see me.

My Doctor referred me to see her because he felt I needed evaluation by a spine surgeon based on signs, symptoms, and X-rays. He did a thorough spine evaluation with exam, MRI, etc. She declined to see me after her office assistant "screened" me. Apparently she screens so she gets easy & straightforward cases only.

She no longer accepts UHC. She didn't do anything for me or recommend doing anything that other orthopedic doctors haven't already recommended.

Dr Mina is dedicated to her patients, very kind and understanding. She gives excellent service.
