Here are several of the latest reviews:

"EVERYONE in the Little River office is always pleasant and welcoming. We can't say enough about Dr. Cahill - he is thorough and explained everything about my procedure. After hearing so many negative things about back surgery, Dr. Cahill put things in perspective and the outcome of my surgery is fantastic. We can't thank him enough. We are spreading the word to other people. Anyone who has back issues deserves the possible chance to get the positive results that I have gotten. Thank you."

"I was most impressed after meeting Dr. Cahill's PA-C, Lee Ann Canady, and then Dr. Cahill. Miss Canady was very professional and thorough in her examination of my back. I then met Dr. Cahill, a very cordial professional gentleman. He covered the details of my x-ray thoroughly and discussed my treatment. I am very happy and most satisfied with my visit to Dr. Cahill's office. I dare not leave out his nurse and receptionist. They each were friendly and professional in their duties. Thanks."

"My family found Dr. Cahill and his staff to be very caring as well as extremely efficient. My treatment resulted in an outstanding result and I was very happy with the Doctor's professionalism and his abilities. No one wants to have significant back surgery, but my experience was not only physically positive, but also relieved severe pain. Thank you Dr. Cahill for a job well done."

"Dr. Cahill is the definition of what a doctor should be. He cares for all of his patients even if he cannot directly help them. After examining me, Dr. Cahill could have said that he cannot help me and simply walked away, which has been the norm in the past; however, Dr. Cahill took the time to explain my condition, discussed my limited options, referred me two other providers and suggested treatment. The depth of my gratitude for his professionalism, passion and patience will not be forgotten."

"Finally, a doctor that cares. I had such back pain that I could barely get out of bed. I saw three back surgeons. The other two said my back was in too bad fix. Dr. Cahill was the only one that made an effort to identify the source of the pain. He located the problem and performed a surgery to correct it. I can now walk again without pain. I'll always be thankful to him for that."

"Wish I had found Dr Cahill before going through 3 wasted surgeries at Grand Strand"

"Had my back surgery just over 3 weeks ago. Dr Cahill performed an L4 / L5 decompression and fusion. Needless to say the surgery was a success as was my follow up visit. All my questions were addressed by Dr Cahill and the incision is healing nicely. This guy is fantastic and we are very lucky to have such a gifted neurosurgeon in our area. I traveled from Murrells Inlet, SC and well worth the trip. His staff is excellent as well."

"Dr. Cahill saved my life (or, it sure feels that way). He shows concern and care in his follow-up visits and takes all the time needed to address any questions. His staff is lighthearted, friendly and an immense pleasure to work with. Leanne and Caroline are extremely knowledgeable and I trust their care without reservation. I wish all my providers were exactly like him and his incredible staff."

"Went for post surgery appointment. Once again Dr. Cahill and his staff could not not have been nicer. Dr. Cahill took time to answer all our questions, explain what to expect in recovery, and next steps."

"I was extremely pleased when first meeting Dr. Cahill as he immediately established a good rapport for me to relate my years of back issues and those in recent weeks. He listened well before examining me. I felt I had come to a doctor who valued his patients’ input."

"I can’t say enough about Dr Cahill. I have been struggling with lower back pain for well over a year. On 1/29/21 he performed an “A lift” on my L5-S1 that basically fused me front and back. I’m now 2 months out and feel fantastic. The only pain I have is incision pain where they went in through my abs which gets better every day. The incision on my back no longer hurts. I am amazed every day at how good I feel.

I like most was very apprehensive about getting back surgery. Most of my fear came from the disaster of a back surgery that my father got in Wilmington, NC. One year after his back surgery he was 4” shorter and using a walker. The “surgeon” ruined his life. Dr Cahill understood why I was apprehensive and met with me as many times as it took to answer all of the questions that I had. Very patient and understanding.

Also, Dr Cahill is different than most surgeons I have met in that he views surgery as a last option. He and his staff assisted me thru pain management, physical therapy, and other options, until surgery was the only solution. Very rare these days. He even shows that same approach to my wife’s neck problems as we are dealing with that now.

You will not be disappointed in Dr. Kevin Cahill. If I have to go down this road again for other parts of my spine, he is my only option. The only problem I have is pacing myself and not doing too much too early because I feel that good. Thank you Dr. Cahill and Coastal Spine Institute for improving my life so greatly."

"Dr.Cahill is nothing short of amazing! I guess I waited 20 years until I met up with him. Thank you for your skilled knowledge."

"I am an 82 year old male that suffered from severe spinal stenosis, back pain, and had lost my ability to walk any distance. Dr. Cahill's spinal surgery has enabled me to walk again and has significantly reduced the back pain . I am 100% satisfied with Dr. Cahill's performance."

"Doctor Cahill was Great! I had my second spinal fusion performed 3 weeks ago by Dr. Cahill and I can not believe how great I feel. I have a 4 level fusion now and I am already back driving. No more nerve pain and the incisions have healed very nicely. He was there to answer questions every step and never made me feel rushed or like my questions were unimportant. So Happy with my outcome!"

"Excellent office staff... and Dr. Cahill is a Excellent Surgeon who has the skills to explain what procedure he will be doing and you will understand and feel at ease."

"Dr. Kevin Cahill and his staff have a top notch professional office. I have been with them since July and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I had back surgery on August 19 and as of today, October 22...I feel like a new person. Thanks to Dr. Cahill and his staff!!"

"Wish I had found Dr Cahill before going through 3 wasted surgeries at Grand Strand"

"I have been very impressed with Dr. Kevin Cahill's entire staff with handling everything about my condition and the care I received from Dr. Cahill personally during my appointments, as well as, my surgery at the Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center back in August. Even though I live in South Carolina, I would highly recommend anyone to Dr. Cahill as a neurosurgeon."

"I was very pleased with Dr. Cahill. Great personality, explains things so you understands them. I find the staff very friendly and have great follow up."

"The surrounding is very coastal and inviting. The staff is cordial yet professional"

"Great session with Dr Cahill today. He was early fro my appointment. He clearly explained my back and leg issues. He recommended clear definitive future plans and therapy."
