"Dr Edwards is fantastic. Takes the extra time to explain in detail what is happening and how he will perform the surgery. He did a great job on my back surgery. Checked on me several times in the hospital and told the nurses exactly what he wanted done. Great man! Thank you Dr. Edwards."

“I was in so much pain before and I knew that pain doctors couldn't help me. Finally, my PA recommended Dr. Kinchen. I felt really comfortable with her and I appreciated her calmness and how she explained everything to me. There is no comparison from where I was before surgery, I could barely stand.”

"All options were clearly explained and all my questions answered no matter how simple they were until I had all the information needed. In Addition, she has a superb staff that supported with the same high standards. Words cannot clearly express how fabulous Dr. Kinchen and her team are."

“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience at the Atlanta Neurological & Spine Institute. The entire team, from Brock at the front desk to the nurses, was professional and welcoming. Dr. Melanie Kichen is a highly accomplished orthopedic spine surgeon, that possesses a caring and friendly disposition. She patiently took the time to explain my back condition and progress, ensuring I felt heard and understood every step of the way. I highly recommend Dr. Kichen. You will not be disappointed!”

I’ve been a patient at Atlanta Neurological and Spine Institute since my workers’ compensation injury in June 2024, and I can honestly say this team has been a blessing throughout my recovery journey. My case is very complex—my injury not only caused severe back and joint pain but also triggered the onset of my rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite how complicated things have been, Dr. Edwards and Dr. Kitchens have remained patient, thorough, and genuinely dedicated to finding answers.
They’ve worked tirelessly to identify the root cause of my pain and to develop a treatment plan that helps me live a sustainable, balanced life. I also want to recognize Brock at the front desk—his professionalism, warmth, and kindness make every visit easier.
This entire team truly goes above and beyond. They don’t treat you like a case number—they treat you like a person. I’m deeply grateful for their compassion, consistency, and commitment to my healing. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of neurological or spine care, especially if your case is complex or chronic.
