If you want doctors that blend expertise, advanced technology, and actual human compassion -- this is the place to start. I was armed with not one, but two MRIs from other doctors, ready to hear the dreaded "Let's schedule surgery" speech. Instead, I met with a genuine, down to earth, personable doctor that actually listened to all my complaints and I mean all of them lol. Not just "my back hurts," but also my entire medical history. Dr. Desaloms already has my MRIs up on a giant screen ready to review my issues. This office clearly invests in top-notch technology, and it shows. Love his PA Stephanie (extra bonus points for having her in his back pocket!). He's not the kind of neurosurgeon who pushes surgery just because he can. I may need it someday, but right now he's focused on what's best for me. That kind of organic, patient-first approach is rare. The entire staff at Dallas Neurosurgical and Spine, from the front desk, tech, PA to billing -- were exceptional people who obviously enjoy (and love) their jobs! read more

I flew to Dallas from Saint Louis to have my 3rd spine surgery with him a c5c6 fusion. He PROMISED my radicular pain would go away, I'm an RN, u never promise patients anything, u can't know for sure, and what do u know, 15 months post op and my nerve pain is just as excruciating. He called me a anomaly during our telehealth appt, made me feel hopeless, almost 3 yrs now in 24/7 moderate to severe pain and have not been able to work as an RN and i'm actually signing up for VAD in Switzerland, that's how bad this has ruined my life, so be careful... i got a standing mri out of desperation. He didn't care to read it, a secretary said he wasn't obligated to read the mri since he didn't order it and dropped me as a patient after expressing how awful everything was going for me in my life due to this. 15 mo post op c5c6 fusion.... one simple layer... i'll never understand, but i am willing to pay 10k to d13 w VAD because of the debilitating pain i have been suffering in since 35 yo til now 38 yo.... almost graduated NP school, and couldn't, just 3 semesters away.... life i worked so hard for, completely ruined. BSN Oncology RN 10 yrs, can't work and just rot in one chair at my parents' house. i'm 90% chair ridden now and housebound, i dont even shower but every 2wks, dont put makeup on anymore... nowhere to go... i rot here crying all the time in extreme pain that nobody wants to treat. read more

What a difference it makes to walk into a professional medical facility. Had 1st appointment and I have to say this is the way healthcare should be. Friendly staff from start to finish, Michelle did initial review once in room and made us feel very comfortable, explaining all the next steps. Beck APN asked more questions and did Neuro work up and answered any questions we had to this point before seeing physician. Dr Saytan greeted us, went into detail about the test which was up on a big screen so easy to see. Shared findings in detail and choices of next steps. Thank you ! read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Zachary Johnson for cervical/spinal surgery. My surgery was very successful and he is a great people person. He explains everything in terms that one understands, and his staff of Juliana, Corinthia and Katie are also great, as well as they are super helpful whenever one has questions for Dr. Johnson. Their medical office is also super clean. I would have given Dr. Johnson and his staff a 10 star rating if I could have. Thank you again to Dr. Johnson and to his exceptional staff!! read more

Attempted to schedule an appointment with their medical professional after reviewing reviews and their website. Transferred from one admin to another with no help. Requested to leave a voicemail for manager and call placed on hold. Poor appointment management and customer service. read more

Dallas Neurosurgical and Spine was the absolute worst medical experience I have ever had for a medical experience. I was verbally interrogated and attacked by an insane employee there. They wanted $777 before an Epidural Injection. The abuse was unreal. Even the manager escalated the situation and took her abusive employee's side. DO NOT EVER go to this place for any medical procedure. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Jason Taub for the past few years, along with Dr. Abbey Ghermay. They are both excellent! Dr. Taub performed surgery on my cervical spine in 2016. Dr. Ghermay has helped with pain management in my lower back. They are incredible doctors with excellent skills. They really do care about their patients. Dr. Zachary Johnson is also a wonderful doctor, and his nurse is absolutely fantastic! I brought my 93 year old mother in to see him, and he was so patient and sweet with her. He explained everything in a way she could understand and even spoke loud enough so that she could hear him. My mother has been in extreme pain, but after going to 2 other doctors in another practice (orthopedic) without any relief, Dr. Johnson was able to diagnose my mom's issue quickly and put together a least invasive plan to give her some relief. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson. I totally recommend Dallas Neurosurgical & Spine. read more

I've been in the parking lot waiting for my husband to get his injection since 6:40am. Raining out. Watching the employees park and go in the side door. Holy s***. About half go close to 40 miles per hour through the parking lot including the Dr. Very unprofessional and dangerous. read more

I appreciate Dr. Satyan's calm, non-alarmist demeanor. When surgery was required, he used a great facility, and even made a point of preserving as much of my hair as he could. SO different from my prior surgeon. I read more

I didn't really have a positive experience. The PA ordered an MRI - when I went in to see the doctor, he looked at the pictures, and shuffled me off to a different doctor. He didn't ask me anything about pain, how long I had this condition. Turns out that I was in pain and it would be a while until I saw the referred doctor - when I called the office, they would only refer me to a pain management doctor, which is another wait. read more

Wonderful experience at Dallas Neurosurgical & Spine. The office staff were helpful, friendly and kind. The nurse was extremely knowledgeable and made everyone feel comfortable. Dr Krumerman and his team were great - professional and really listened to all my concerns . Thank you Dallas Neurosurgical & Spine Plano!! read more

Tried multiple times to simply schedule an appointment. Every number they list routes to a receptionist, who then routes you to the doctor you specifically name, which can be difficult when you're a new patient and aren't sure who to choose. I tried scheduling with Dr Weiner and had to wrestle with the scheduler just to get an idea of when they're usually available to accept phone calls. Apparently their "clinic hours" render them too busy to answer phone calls, and it is a normal practice for them to send you straight to voicemail. It is also normal practice apparently for these schedulers to cut you off and not allow you to get a question in edgewise, such as when would be a better time to call - how dare you ask such a thing? For a practice that is supposed to care for your spine and specializes in major surgeries for said spine, and describes their doctors as "superdoctors" in their on hold recordings, this is not the attitude you'd expect from the front desk. Find someone else. read more

Dr. Jeremy Denning performed an L5S1 bone fusion on me and he was awesome!! Took the time to explain the procedure, estimated hospital stay and recovery period. I would highly recommend Dr. Denning to anyone if you are having any sort of back issues. Should i encounter future issues (but hoping not) I will certainly go back to him. BTW the office staff here is fantastic, they are very helpful, polite and professional. Thanks to all of you I can now walk so much more than I have in over 15 years read more

Dr. Jeremy Denning isn't just a Neurosurgeon, he's a rock star. Don't be put off by age, I had a mammoth 18mm(!) protrusion between my L4-L5 that had literally made life unbearable. Dr Denning was not only able to use minimally invasive techniques to correct the issue, I was able to *walk* out of the hospital the same day! Two weeks to the day, and I'm checking in here to shake the man's hand that gave me my well-being back. 100% recommended to family & friends. read more

Dr. Desaloms performed DBS surgery on my husband Scott Perry for his Parkinson's desease. Scott had a pronounced tremor on his left arm and leg. Until then I did not believe in miracles but now I do! Yesterday the device was turned on and the tremor immediately stopped. Unbelievable happiness and a sense of unreality has set in me, as I am watching my Scott so very excited. The depressed mood is gone and his energy us back! We would like to thank all of the wonderful staff who surrounded us and helped us with appointments and treatment: dear Eve, you are my Tinkerbell - big hearted, temperamental and always there for us. Stephanie, you exude cheerfulness and sweetness, calming us down when worried. .... And you Dr. Desaloms are a true Avatar, always with your first care with the patients, always at the lead with the best technology at hand, and always with a heart ready to take just one more distressed patient and to turn his world around for the better. You are amazing, down to earth, with a bright smile, putting humanity before business, you will forever be in my prayers! Dr. Elena Augustina Kareneva read more

I like and recommend Krishna B. Satyan, MD at Dallas Neurosurgical. His approach is thorough and conservative. He does not push the patient to surgery except when indicated by more than a few diagnostic tests and scans as well as symptomatic findings. The medical and administrative staff in the clinic could not be better - very helpful and professional in all facets of contact with the patient. read more

Had a very good overall experience. Surgery went as planned and am recovering as expected. His staff is accessible and responds in a timely manner to all questions and concerns. read more

I have worked in many arenas of healthcare for 15+ years, and it was so refreshing to experience integrity and ethics and its highest! Dr. Krumerman was a Godsend! I have had cervical and lumbar back issues for the last 8+ years. Lumbar predominantly for the last 5 years. I tried a multitude of therapies (epidural injections, traction, physical therapy, exercises)...not to mention being on pain meds the entire time. 2 years ago, physicians claimed I needed a 3/4 level fusion. Based on the description, I opted to wait...until I went from bad to worse. A friend forced me to return to the doctor and suggested that I see a Neurosurgeon vs an Ortho. I received Dr. Krumerman's name from an industry friend and planned to visit, at least 3, Neuro's. However, once I met with Dr. K, I did not feel the need to go on another "tour of doctors" He is an active listener, which is key! He noted that I did not need a fusion and recommended a laminectomy for my spinal stenosis and discectomy for a disc rupture. I woke up post-surgery nerve pain free! Today, I am four weeks post-surgery and off of pain meds. The only pain I am experiencing is from the surgical area, which I assume is normal. To sum it up, Dr. Krumerman 'walks the talk' of the Hippocratic Oath, and I highly recommend him and his staff. I pray I never have to go through this again, but If I do, then I would return to Dallas Neurosurgical & Spine/ Dr. Krumerman! read more

Dr. Krumerman was great - he talked me through everything, and performed a multi-level fusion with cages and a plate in my neck. Crazy stuff for a guy who's medical care regimen is usually 6 Tylenols over the course of a year. BUT - business side and post-op has been bungled. I paid my out of pocket max, but Krumerman's office wants another $3,600. After being passed around repeatedly by the insurance company, hospital and all other parties, everyone says I did the right thing, everyone was paid in full (into 6 figures all in) and no one owes anyone any money - except Dr. K's staff. They have denied my requests for follow up appointments and prescription refills because they want this money I do not owe. I really like the doc, but buyer beware - whatever amount they decide you owe, it's pay up or get locked out of treatment! read more

If you are having issues with your legs or back I strongly Recommend this office and it's staff.I went from not being able to walk 20 yards to walking 2 miles in just over 2 weeks.Dr.Krummerman and the entire staff make you feel like you are their only patient. I walked out of the hospital the same day and had no issues with communications either by phone or email. At no time did I feel rushed or didn't feel as if I was fully aware of what was going to happen.If there were 10 stars it would be a 10. read more

Dr. Krumerman performed a spinal fusion on me eight weeks ago. I had been putting this surgery off for awhile but I am so glad I did it! I am pain free after being in pain for over seven years! He is a wonderfully compassionate doctor who answered every question I had with patience and confidence. He is an exceptional surgeon and has a great bedside manner. His staff is professional and very easy to work with. read more

My 500th review had to be something special... and none of the restaurants in the area were really jumping out at me. And then it occurred to me.. that there really couldn't be anything more special, than the Neurosurgeon who gave me my life back! In March 2009, I was referred to Dr. Jeremy W. Denning, MD, a surgeon with Dallas Neurosurgical and Spine Associates. My first appointment was on April 9, 2009 and he decided he wanted to send me for a new set of MRIs since my most current set was now a year old. I had the MRIs done on April 17, 2009 and my follow up appointment with Dr. Denning was on April 23, 2009. After the first appointment, I had a peace come over me like the roller coaster I had been on since my diagnosis in August 2005 was finally coming to an end. After 8 neurologists and 4 other neurosurgeons... Dr. Denning actually acted like he knew about Chiari.. that the symptoms I was exhibiting were "classic Chiari symptoms" and that I would benefit from surgery, although he was willing to let me pick when I would schedule my surgery as long as I did it within a year. So, after talking to my parents, my employers and my best friend, we scheduled my surgery for December 15th and a pre-op appointment for the last week of November. My mom went to my pre-op appointment with me and Dr. Denning was very patient with us and answered all of our questions. I checked into the hospital at 5am on December 15th and about 715am I was wheeled into a room for our last meeting with Dr. Denning. He was all relaxed and assured us that everything was going to be fine. A little while later, I was wheeled to the OR and my parents were told anywhere from 2 - 4 hours. Dr. Richard H Jackson, also with Dallas Neurosurgical and Spine was Dr. Denning's assistant on my posterior fossa decompression (Chiari Decompression) and Dr. Denning assists Dr. Jackson on all of the Chiari surgeries that he does. Just under 2 hours, Dr. Denning came skipping out of the OR into the waiting room. A huge grin across his face and his green eyes sparkling ... he proclaimed my surgery over and perfect, and that my family could see me in recovery in a little while. Over the 4 1/2 days I was a patient at Dallas Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Denning came by daily and had his PA, Tina Coleman come by at least once a day. Dr. Denning even came by on his day off on Saturday just in time to release me to go home. Because I spent my recovery in Waco, my mom was very worried about the day we had scheduled to have my staples removed because of the impending snowy weather... so my mom called and DNSA were more than happy to move my appointment and we drove up to Dallas to have my staples removed. They were thrilled at my recovery as was I. It was the first time I had gone more than 14 days without a Chiari-headaache since 1986. In February, 6 weeks after surgery, I went back for my post-op appointment and was told my scar was healing perfectly and that I could go on with my life... just be careful lifting things above my head. I am now four months and three days post op, and I have yet to have a Chiari-headache and the majority of the rest of my umpteen symptoms are all on hiatus. I know that Chiari decompression surgery is not a cure for Chiari, but it is a peace agreement between my Wonky Brain Tail and my body. Dr. Denning will always be the angel who executed that peace agreement... giving me 4 months (and counting) of pain free life back. read more

Dr. Krumerman performed a laminotomy on me about a month ago and I am so happy I found him! He also has an office in Hickory Creek which is where I saw him. I was pain free immediately after the surgery! I was in pain for about two years and I was afraid of getting surgery but finally I had enough and decided it needed to be done. Luckily I was referred to Dr. Krumerman and he fixed me right up! He also listens and explains everything in detail so you know exactly what the game plan is. I definitely recommend him! read more

I have a herniated disc revealed by MRI and began physical therapy and scheduled with Dr. Krumerman to go over my MRI and get his consultative opinion. After a physical evaluation and going over my MRI he said he would not recommend surgery and that my herniation should alleviate itself via physical therapy and time. I was elated and very happy that a surgeon was very encouraging that I did not need surgery. This is why I chose this practice because of their philosophy around this and I was not disappointed. Dr. Krumerman and his team were wonderful and engaging. He even took me back to the computer to look at my MRI. This practice, and Dr. Krumerman are wonderful and I highly recommend! read more

Dr Krumerman and his team did an absolute amazing job performing my microdiskectomy. Like many, I was in pain for quite some time and exhausted several treatment solutions before getting surgery. Needless to say I was worried about the operation and if it would in fact solve my problem. The surgical team put me at ease the moment I entered the hospital. Rest assured I'm no longer in pain and can only thank this great group of folks for getting me here. If you're in pain and thinking about getting surgery go talk to Dr. Jon A. Krumerman! read more

I had neck surgery with Dr. Satyan. I am completely satisfied! He is conservative in his treatment and will try all the least invasive procedures prior to suggesting surgery. His administrative assistant absolutely rocks!. She is kind, compassionate, and prompt in her email responses always. I was thoroughly impressed. I am an ICU nurse by professional background and experienced a great deal of anxiety in choosing a physician I did not know personally. Any condition that leads one to the office of a neurosurgeon's office is generally a serious, and often a life-changing condition. Shymeko (the admin assistant) and Dr. Satyan both appreciate that fact and behave accordingly. I totally recommend this surgeon! read more

I am very impressed with the excellent service of the front desk. Deana was very knowledgeable about my insurance coverage especially about how my HCA works. Dr. Taub is very knowledgeable in helping me understand and treat my condition. Everyone is very professional and friendly. read more

Wow, when one finds the best... you can never praise enough. I struggled for years with my left arm tingling and feeling like it was asleep. Within the first meeting, he explained all the options extremely through and all the possible complications and side effects that could occur. There is barely a visible line from surgery. The entire medical staff Dr. Krumerman surrounds himself with is also top notch. Thank you all for making my life better. read more

Dr. Satyan did not rush me into surgery, although I went ahead with cervical surgery anyway because he explained all the aspects very well. He is very caring and has further recommended physical therapy to help forestall any further surgery on my neck. His staff is very efficient and I have not been kept waiting more than about 10 minutes. I highly recommend Dr. Satyan. read more

My family highly recommend Dr. Satyan's office. As a healthy 40 year old mom of four young children, it was unexpectedly discovered that I had a large brain tumor above my cerebellum. Dr. Satyan explained the surgery well, answered all questions kindly and patiently, but also didn't sugarcoat things, which for a surgeon is a trait we highly value. I safely came through the surgery thankfully due to lots of prayer and Dr. Satyan's amazing medical team. I cannot state enough how impressed we've been with his whole office; his nurse practitioner, each of the OR nurses, his partner that joined him in the surgery, and each admin and receptionist. Each person we've been in contact with has been professional, kind, and patient with our multitude of questions. You're in safe hands if you choose this office. read more

I was referred to Dr. Krumerman by my primary care physician after years of office visits with complaints of lower back pain. The pain had gotten to the point that I was unable to stand for long periods of time, I couldn't get a good night's sleep and was even unable to sit for more than 10 mins. This went on for about a solid 10 years until I couldn't stand the pain anymore. Upon visiting Dr. Krumerman, I felt relaxed and felt I was in the best hands possible. The office staff was kind, patient and very friendly. I was sent off to get an MRI done and the Dr. found an issue with the L5-S1 disc and recommended TLIF surgery. I was extremely hesitant and scared to have the surgery done since I had heard that some people were worse off after their surgery. I believed in Dr. Krumerman and so I put all my health and my faith in him. The day of the surgery came and went and I will tell you that it was the best decision I have ever made. I am well on my way to recovery and I have never felt better. I am grateful for Dr. Krumerman and his staff. read more

Was not the correct place but charged us a fee. and was not so nice to us in the lobby while we were waiting.

I'm not going to post too much about my medical history here, but let me just say that having Dr. Jon Krumerman in my life couldn't have come at a better time. Over the last 1.5 years, I've been riddled with stressful medical situations. I've gone through so many doctors and not a single one of them has made me feel as valued as Dr. Krumerman. He spent a good amount of time with me during our appointment putting all of the pieces together, answering all of my questions, and making me feel hopeful again. Thank you, Dr. Krumerman, and to your entire staff. read more

Dr Taub is very nice but $450 for a new patient office visit is basically rape. I had met my deductable and still owe $100. Also it was only a 15 min consultation because I do not want surgery. So $450 for 15 min...thats 1600 an hour...rediculous!!!!! read more

Dr. Jackson was absolutely terrible. Avoid him at all costs. He was unprofessional and terrible at diagnosing the problem.

Extremely dissatisfied with the treatment I've received after surgery. The procedure was Lumbar Microdescectomy. I've complained multiple times about how the drugs prescribed were not helping and I was having side effects (listed all over the internet), that listed the side effects I'd be been experiencing and that I should reach out to the doctor and talk to them about it. Side effects that includes insomnia and suicidal thoughts were thrown back at me and pretty much called me a liar. The AP to the surgeon is named Natalia and apparently she has a lot to learn when It comes to dealing with people in pain as I've been having adverse effects from certain medication. I will NOT bother seeking relief from my excruciating nerve pain by contacting them anymore. They treat you like you are a burden. I have been in a lot of pain and for them to tell me to just wait it out and prescribe me another medication with the same side effects as the previous medication goes to show that they have no concern for their patients pain. I'm extremely disappointed and wish this woman Natalia could put herself in my shoes and she can be denied relief. Some people have no business in the medical field. read more
