Dr. McNulty changed my life. I was at the point where I couldn't walk or stand. He saw my MRI and immediately saw my issue after pain for 4 years and multiple visits with other doctors. Within months I had surgery and was healed. I highly recommend his expertise.

I've only had 1 appointment with him and I absolutely think he is the type of doctor that I need right now. He pulls no punches and is to the point. He also is kind hearted and a truth teller. Love his bed side manner. Definitely recommend him.

Dr. McNulty saved Dan's life! Dan spent 3 years in unruly pain, after 2 spinal fusion surgeries in Roanoke, VA. His life ruined, out of work and mostly bed ridden from the barbed wire like pain in his lower back. His Virginia doctor referred him to different pain Drs. who tried many procedures, and obviously, including opoides; which proved to be awful; and Dan refused them. Do we wonder why there is an epidemic! Dan could not ride in a car, walking was difficult and everyday activities ended. The surgeon left him in more pain than what he experienced before the surgery, crippling him. What kind of a doctor would walk away from this?
We met with Dr. McNulty, and he understood exactly what was happening in Dan's back; saying he had MacGyver like skills to remove the painful hardware... 6 screws and 2 rods. Dan could not wait for the removal! The Virginia doctor didn't even give Dr. McNulty the proper tool information before surgery.Therefore, Dr. McNulty had to use his MacGyver like skills to remove the hardware, it worked! Dan is now improving every day, he is 3 mo. past surgery. The large screws were irritating the soft tissue causing the crippling pain. As I understand it, some doctors just don't know how to do this hardware removal surgery.They may not want to admit failure...which is, seemingly a common problem we have now read about. McNulty has so many strong credentials when I read about him; I couldn't dial the phone fast enough. Dan travelled here to NV for Dr. McNulty's care. Dr. McNulty's staff quickly scheduled the surgery, and Dr. McNulty used his skills to bring Dan back to life! Dan had almost given up; then following surgery, while still in the hospital....it was already obvious Dan experienced noticeable improvement . We expect continued improvement as he continues PT. He can ride in a car now, he can sit at the dinner table, already.HOORAY! Dr McNulty is my hero! I have him to thank for relieving my son, Dan, of miserable unnecessary pain! He is an awesome doctor and continues to care for Dan with excellent advice and care. Obviously, Dr. McNulty's compassion to help his patients, while using his talented skills is outstanding! Run, don't walk to see Dr. McNulty!!!

My mom had two spinal surgeries by Doctor McNulty in 2021. He was light-hearted when I met him for my mom’s first inquiry. While explaining the details of my mom’s surgery, he kept a positive attitude, and he also has a great sense of humor.
In our second meeting just before my mom’s surgery, I could tell that Dr. McNulty was one of the most confident physicians among his colleagues as he seemed comfortable in explaining the procedure and well-sound with the hospital setting.
My mom’s surgeries went more than well. At that moment, I found myself nervous because it was my mom’s very first surgery in her entire life.
After the surgeries, I was in tears after seeing my mother. Feeling sad, I was surprised to see Dr. McNulty came by me. His words gave me great comfort and reassured me that everything would be alright. I saw the empathy in his heart. He was extremely compassionate and sweet as he even showed up at my mom’s patient room one day to check if everything was going well.
With all honesty, I’m at a loss for words to express my appreciation to him. He even went above and beyond as he reviewed and recommended some Amazon neck support tools on my phone with me. It didn’t feel like I was in an inferior situation; it really felt like talking to a down-to-earth neighbor. It has been almost a year later, and I can say confidently that my mom’s surgeries were very successful. Words are not enough for me to say about doctor McNulty’s outstanding well-being, compassionate care, helpful advice, and above all, exceptional surgical skills. My mom is happy to be his patient.

Dr. Patrick McNulty
Short and sweet…
I love the man!
Doctor McNulty gave me back the will to live after 3 years of excruciating pain.
This doctor is kind hearted and as down to earth as they come and I am so thankful for his knowledge and skills.
Dr. McNulty is the only one who listened and understood exactly what I was going through.
None of my doctors back East or at Duke University or Mayo Clinic would even discuss removal of fusion hardware so they let me suffer until Dr. McNulty took it on.
Now I can sit upright again and ride in a car again without feeling like I have barbed wire in my spine.
Thank you and God Bless You Dr. McNulty
Still recovering from surgery a couple months ago but, I feel so much better than before.
A special thanks to Lisa and Charity in the office for reading my story, making me a priority and making it all happen.
You are truly Angels and I can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work and dedication.

I was in a car accident where someone ran a red light and ran into my truck. Their vehicle hit square on my left front wheel. They were going about 45-50 mph. You should have seen my truck. It was completely totaled. A few days after the accident I began experiencing a lot of pain in my back and my right leg started giving out. Unfortunately, it took about 6 weeks before my insurance came through and I was able to see Dr. McNulty. I already had 3 previous spine operations. The first was about twenty years previous from lifting concrete blocks. They told me to take it easy, but I didn't and blew out my back again - so TWO back operations (L5-S1) within a couple of months. Then in 2015, more pain and another surgery because vertebra above previously fused vertebra was compressing. So when I presented to Dr. McNulty I had already had THREE fusion surgeries and was fused L4-S1. There were multiple screws coming in from different angles and the middle vertebra was leaned over at about 30 degrees,
When Dr. McNulty looked at my X-Ray, he immediately asked me if I was in a car accident, and I said yes. Then he asked me if it was from the left and I said yes. Then he said "OH, I see,...the vertebra above the fused vertebra have shifted to the right. I'm going to take everything out and start all over again". This he did in an eleven-hour operation. It's been about 5 years now. I am 67 years old. I have had NO pain WHATSOEVER these past 5 years, no pills. I am actually in better shape than when I was 16. I can bend down and pick things off the floor, put on my socks, tie my shoes, swim on my back, paddle my canoe, go camping and hiking, and work around the house (which if Dr. McNulty knew what I have been doing he would be furious, I'm sure). The only thing I do have is a slight limp on my right leg, but it sometimes goes away entirely. I can't express how much this means to me. When I first went to Physical Therapy they told me I would have to use a cane and probably a walker the rest of the of my life. But I didn't accept that. I started swimming, then riding my bike. I built up my legs. So some of the credit goes to me. But I am sure that if another surgeon had performed the operation, I wouldn't be in the shape I am today. By the way - I have two plates on either side from the L3 - S1 with five sets of screws coming in from the sides, like a ladder. If you are going to have surgery from Dr. McNulty take it from me, you are fortunate. I am retired. Having the chance to live a normal ACTIVE life...I don't have words to describe my gratitude.

Dr. McNulty healed me. Dr. McNulty fused my spine and now I can walk, run and dance. I can stand. I am not crippled from my back any more. I was suffocating because my spine shifted off track. So I walked with the aid of a walker. I walk 10 steps and I was out of breath.
God send Dr. McNulty to heal me. I thank God and Dr. McNulty for give me back the availability to walk again without the aid of a walker or Cane. 08-01-2016

Dr. McNulty and his whole staff is THE BEST! Very professional and explained the whole procedure to me. I felt very comfortable with all that he did - operated on a decompression on my L5 (Laminectomy). I would highly recommend Dr. McNulty to anyone who is considering any type of spinal surgery. I am pain free and a very happy patient. Thank you, Dr. McNulty and staff.

Dr. McNulty did a level 1 fusion on L4/L5 for me as well as decompression on L1-L4. Choosing to commit to back surgery and who will perform your surgery is a very serious decision . It can be very stressful and I think you must have absolute confidence and trust in your surgeon. I had consulted with two other neurosurgeons before I had the good fortune to meet Dr. McNulty. What I like about Dr. McNulty is he is very thorough, he evaluates the entire problem and explains the what, why and how to fix it the best it can be fixed. He doesn't waffle, he is very direct. At our first appointment he sat with me to get all my medical history. I only ever met with Dr. McNulty , no PAs or interns . This I really liked. This doctor put me at ease and I felt confident that he had the skill and know how to address my issues. It has been 8 months since my surgery and I am able to be very active walking and bike riding with no pain. I would highly recommend Dr. McNulty and his staff to anyone considering back surgery.
