I am one of the nurses that works with Dr. Webb. I enjoy working with him! He communicates with his team! He always checks in at the beginning of the day to see if we have questions or concerns. This makes days smoother if the team can anticipate his needs. The less I run for supplies during cases the more I am present in the room. I can text him my questions and concerns, and I can keep him posted on what's going on regarding operating room times, patient issues, etc. An approachable surgeon is always appreciated as a nurse. I am honored to be a part of this team and hospital.

As a nightshift nurse, I appreciate how respectful you are to those who need to call you...I wish all docs who are ON CALL would be more thankful for us who love to work nights, instead of treating us like we're a bother when they're admitting chronic pain patients that THEY performed surgery on. Hahaha sorry for the long comment...but I just appreciate your expertise, Dr. Webb.

Dr. Webb, what you guys do, nurses, doctors, entire medical staff is amazing. I had a laminectomy and discectomy L4L5 back in January 2023 due to herniated disc. So far it's been a mixed bag as some days are better than others but working closely with my surgeon to hopefully gain good long term results. Just wanted to send out a kudos to you and all the folks that sacrifice so much in your personal lives to care for us. Be well. 😊

can't even explain how excited I was to see this thumbnail pop up on my home screen. Dr. Webb, you are a major reason why I started my KZbin channel. I've been watching your videos since 2016 when I was a junior in undergrad. Although I'm in dental school now after switching from pre-med, I can't even describe how important your videos were in keeping me inspired when I was younger and encouraging me to stay on my path. Now I wanna do what you did for me, for younger students interested in dentistry. I'm forever indebted to you and your channel.

I have worked with some doctors that didnt do this and it made it much harder on the team to work as efficiently as possible. I am a Dietitian and practicing APC that works in a few high acuity settings one being a pediatric center and I primarily have Tube Feed and TPN patients so having a doctor that is attentive and available is amazing for me and our team to get the best care to our patients!

I’m astounded by the technology used during the operations. Doctors and surgeons need to learn so much more these days, I imagine. Not only basic surgery, but also how to use the technology.

[@JamesValdez-ro7rc]

I’m not sure if I have sciatica or a slipped disc, the nurse told me it’s sciatica and gave me cyclobenzaprine for muscle pain and spasms, but the sciatica hasn’t gone away. It’s been a whole year already it is super depressing because I can’t get back in the gym cause the pain bothers me.

I’m a post grad medical intern from the Philippines and an aspirant cardio thoracic surgeon in the next 8 to 9 years.Dr. Webb, your KZbin contents are very reflective of the true life of medical doctors especially those of surgeons including you.I do have a huge respect to a doctor like you who make huge sacrifices to bring the best service and medical interventions possible for their patients.I would say that you are very passionate on the work you do as a spine surgeon and you deserve all the gratifications you get from your patients from the best care you give to them and of course for the so much hardwork you gave to your medical studies/training for you to become one of the best spine surgeons.I see it in your videos that you do have a huge appreciation of everyone in the health care team including the nurse practitioners who work hand in hand with you..I would say that your guiding principle when it comes to your profession of being a doctor is “sacrifice for patient and self gratification from the best feeling in your helping patients”.I’m anticipating for more inspirational videos to come in the next months or weeks in this KZbin channel of yours..
