Reviews of Juan Uribe, MD (Doctor)

Justin Mascitelli

This guy is the man. He fixed my back!

Bob Smith

He did a great job on my surgery, but now I am in agonizing pain and have begged for over a week to be seen and just keep getting told someone will call me back and they never do so I sit in pain waiting they do not care about people after surgery I guess!

Alice P Allen

Heart he is the best! He did surgery in my Cousins Husband Perry Gonzalez who was almost paralyzed with pain from his back problems & Dr Uribe performed his procedure & was an Awesome Success

I had a cervical fusion in sept of 2015 with Dr.Uribe. I had lost quite a bit of mobility in my neck. Couldn’t drive without being scared of missing cars n my blind spot, had a hard time keeping up with my kids and couldn’t live the active lifestyle I was accustomed to. Dr. Uribe spent a lot of time with me going over options and what he felt was best. Surgery was a success. I had virtually no pain with recovery and was up and mobile just a few days later with complete mobility in my neck. My lifestyle is back to normal and I am pain free. He was very caring, professional and put me at ease with my decision to have surgery. I’m happy I made the decision to go with him and would go back if needed in the future. Thank you, Dr.Uribe.

My spinal fusion - L 2-3-4-5 was performed by the Best.Dr Uribe. From the first meeting he was very informative, reassuring, and a great bedside manner He never rushed. He answered all our questions. My surgery went text book. I am now over six weeks after and am doing very well. You can't ask for a better Dr./surgeon. Doctors like him are few and far between.

On Wednesday of this week Dr. Uribe performed surgery to remove a cyst on my spine that was causing a great amount of sciatic nerve pain.By Thursday I was back home. Dr. Uribe is one of the most skilled spinal surgeons in the country and it was a privilege to be treated by him. I found the doctor be extremely competent and a very caring man who extended himself with great effort so that I can be pain free. The Barrow Institute is truly an amazing facility and the staff is very caring and takes great pride in their work. Dr. Uribe is the rock star of his profession and should one require his services you could do no better than to be treated by the best surgeon I have ever met!!! Thank you soooo much Dr. Uribe..

Lynette Kane

The long and short of it.... I was 53 years old, fell broke T-5, became paralyzed was not expected to walk again. Saw Dr Uribe had surgery and rehab and started walking again the summer of 2013. That August went to see Black Sabbath in Palm Beach and have not stopped since. I walked all over Amsterdam last December. My treatment and care was outstanding. I did not wait or want for anything. My pain was managed very well all the while I was alert and on the mend. He was extremely attentive to me and made sure that the hospital staff was as well. His team and staff are so sweet and nice I adore everyone I come in contact with. He saved my life and I'm forever grateful. I'll happily be going soon for a check up.

Mike B

Should be glad that I can't give zero stars. Patient " care " with blinders on. Diagnoses without completely looking at medical files. Takes what radiologist report as fact , without looking at films himself. Meaning bad report bad diagnosis. And to top it off Shady.

david shein

Dr. Uribe (and his team - thank you Briana!) are the best!! Top notch skills, combined with caring, thoughtful and responsive treatment. Every patient is important!

As a professional who makes a living by being on his feet, I found I could no longer adequately perform my duties due to low back and leg pain. I was referred to Dr Juan Uribe and his team at Barrow Neurological Institute. His Medical Assistant (BB) got me in to see Dr Uribe in a timely manner, and after reviewing my studies, Dr Uribe decided surgery was my only option (an opinion for which I strongly agreed). They worked diligently to get insurance approval in a timely manner and my surgery was performed. My time in the hospital was exceptional. From the pre-operative unit, to the operating rooms, to the post-operative care unit (what I remember), to the floor, I was cared for by an exceptional team of spine fellows, neurosurgery residents, nurses, student nurses, nursing assistants, and therapists. I was out of the hospital in 2 days and I am already feeling better except for the post-operative discomfort. I can't say enough about the coordination of care provided to me by the hospital and these professionals. I look forward to getting back to work and enjoying my free time with increased activity that I could not do for the past 2 years. I highly recommend Dr Juan Uribe and his team at Barrow Neurological Institute without reservation for spine disorders.

Ron Tulin

I was referred to Neurosurgeon Dr. Juan Uribe for lower back surgery (XLIF, L4/5) Dr. Uribe and his team removed my disc, inserted a cage and cadaver bone in it's place, then realigned my spine, bolting it back together to its original alignment, perfect fusion. This is my best layman's explanation. I can sincerely attest, two months after surgery, that I feel great. I wish I would have done this years ago. Dr. Uribe has given me my life back. No more back and leg pain. I am deeply appreciative and forever grateful. Thank you so very much.

Hans Harambasic

From the first time I started with Dr. Uribe's office it has been a pleasant experience. The doctor and his fellow explained my condition to me and my options clearly and concisely. My interaction with his administration office has been nothing short of extraordinary. They return my calls and emails faster than any doctor's office I've ever dealt with and I've dealt with too many to count. Briana Becker, lead secretary, is especially efficient, bright, friendly, positive and a joy to deal with. They are second to none in my book.

vincent frantz

Dr Uribe did a triple cervical fusion on me almost a year ago, and has changed my life. Would recommend with NO hesitation.

Steve Ludwig

if your like me and you have back problems it can be a bit confusing trying to find the right doctor too many choices too many scams and promises of the miracle fix (laser surgery) all you really want is to be out of pain and the truth about recovering if that is possible.i have spent the better part of a year looking for the right doc and the right hospital.in the past year i,ve heard it all including promises of being myself again (Core institute stay away) that is why i was so impressed when i met Dr Juan Uribe of Barrows institute the first Dr to tell me try everything else before getting a back fusion he told me it was a bad surgery that does not always have good results wow someone that did not want to cut me open with promises of better health unfortunately i tried everything else and need back surgery let me tell you there is no better doctor than Juan Uribe and his staff at barrows the best in the bussiness

paul gaetano

Dr. Uribe originally repaired a lumbar diseconomy from another Doctor with XLIF. Fast forward 7 years and he performed another XLIF above the previous one. If I were to telll you what a great doctor and person he is it would take up all this space! I went from a wheel chair in excruciating pain on a steady diet of pain pills to a extremely active life! He is very passionate about his craft! He spends time explaining everything about your case. He has the patience of Jobe! I was alway a little agitated/anxious throughout both surgeries and his calm demeanor calmed me down with his reassurance everything would work out! He has a awesome assistant who I can not say enough about either. In closing I would like to add my first surgery was in Tampa Florida. He since moved to Phoenix where I traveled to for my second surgery. That will tell you how much I trust his skills! I not only had the best surgeon in his field I feel like I made a good friend too!!

Kathi Nokes

Happy no waiting

Dennis Wagers

I am very satisfied with Dr, Uribe and his entire team, I feel much better and look forward to feeling even better soon!

David Kaufman

I am incredibly grateful for the skill and compassion of Dr. Uribe and his team. In December, 2017 I had a 4 level ACDF procedure-quite an extensive bit of surgery. Dr. Uribe explained in great detail all of my options prior to the surgery as well as the expected outcome and risks. He ensured that my family was kept informed of the surgical progress and once the procedure was completed, personally spoke with my family post-operatively. The post-operative care has been well coordinated through his office-Brianna is wonderful. I am incredibly grateful to have found such a skilled and compassionate physician. He is truly a gentleman and a "throwback" physician- one who spends time with each patient explaining things in detail in both the hospital and his office.

Steve Taylor

Dr. Uribe performed a complicated surgery on me that is relieving pain I’ve been having for an old neck injury. He and his staff have all been great to partner with and make an exceptional team.

Angela Stuebe

Awesome surgeon.

Karen Robertson

Dr Uribe came highly recommended so we traveled from Utah to Phoenix and was not disappointed. Dr Uribe and his staff were fantastic with pre op and post op. They all had great communication about what I would experience after surgery. Post 6 months and I feel fantastic. Thank you to the Barrows team and Dr Uribe. Couldn’t be more thankful.

Lisa Soechtig

LOVE HIM!!!! I was in pain for over a year before I finally decided to seek help. He was referred to me by an ER Physician friend of mine, so I called and from the point of meeting his staff Melissa, Tracy and Dr. Uribe, I knew I was in Truly GREAT hands. He is a very caring " NON GOD " Complex physician who genuinely cares for his patients. He never thought any questions or concerns I had were petty. During all of my office visits he NEVER rushes through them. He will take all the time YOU as the patient needs. It was immediately brought to my attention I had to have Neck/ Spine surgery, this was not up for discussion. He went over my MRI films in detail with me and my Fiance explaining what would happen if I did not have this surgery. I had it done on Sept. 21, 2015 and here I am 6 months later VERY HAPPY. Today he told me I was clear to ride roller coasters, play golf, etc. basically start living my life again. When he showed me my films today I cried, because I knew he kept his word to the date of the progression of my healing process. I am grateful for finding him and so is my family. I would recommend this fine Gentleman and Surgeon to all my friends and family and anyone who wants an amazing personal Physician. Lisa

Maria Restrepo

Best doctor at Barrow!

Rose Miranda

The best of the best!!!

Anthony Diamond

He said that the pain I had could be made 80 % better however I would still have some back problems he went through my hip to fuse L4 and L5 . He completed the surgery the next day I took a shower and for the first time in 2 years no sciatic nerve pain. I still have back pain the sciatica pain has not returned been 1 year. best news 3 days in the hospital 1 month of time recovering 100 percent satisfaction he is the man to see

Cassie Houselog

Dr. Uribe is extremely informative regarding complex spinal issues. He explains the realistic expectations of surgery and why One should not have surgery. I am grafteful for his honesty and integrity.

Maria Acevedo

Excellent Neurosurgeon and Spine Surgeon

Matthew Arthurs

I went in for a very risky procedure due to slowly losing the ability to use my legs. Dr Uribe told me straight up that I could walk into surgery and leave stuck in a wheel chair. However if the surgery was a success my legs would be fixed. I like the no frills explanation of what could happen. The surgery was a complete success. I went in barely able to resist nurse and doctors pushing on my legs, when I woke up I almost kicked a nurse in the face because she asked me to kick. My leg strength was fully restored and my never ending headache was gone. I am so grateful to Dr Uribe and his resident doctors. They saved mine and my family's future. It has been 5 days since the procedure, I was allowed to go home the day after. I can now walk around the block and I seem to be recovering quickly. I have never really trusted doctors before. However I have full confidence in Dr Uribe. He knows what he is doing and will not sugar coat the prognosis. Thank you so much Dr Uribe, I will never forget what you have done for me.

Jack Friedland

When your back hurts, nothing is right in your world. I am a plastic surgeon, who had intermittent lower back pain for years. Toward the end of 2017, my pain became severe with sciatic nerve radiation, and it became almost constant. I could not even lie in bed without being in pain. For many years I had advised patients and friends not to consider surgery on their backs primarily, and encouraged them to try physical therapy, acupuncture, or even seek the services of a chiropractor, rather than undergoing surgery. However, when the pain became severe and my situation had changed, I sought the evaluation and care of Dr. Uribe, who is the Chief of Spine Surgery at the Barrow Neurological Institute. X-rays and an MRI confirmed that I had spinal stenosis, so Dr. Uribe recommended that I undergo an open surgical procedure. Of course everyone wants a "micro" kind of surgery, with its minimally invasive aspects, immediate relief and more rapid recuperation. Unfortunately this was not what my problem required, and I had multiple lumbar laminectomies performed at 4 levels. When I awakened my original pain had been significantly reduced, though I had to deal with the pain of recuperation from the surgery. Within 6 weeks all of the original pain and post-op recuperative pain subsided and disappeared. I have now resumed all of my previous activities and my pre-operative exercise routine. Dr. Uribe and his staff are to be commended for performing excellent surgery, alleviating me from the plague of back pain, and allowing me to assume my normal life again. If you have back pain due to a spinal disorder that requires surgical correction, I highly recommend that you seek the service of Dr. Uribe. I am sure that you will not be disappointed.

Cristie Rhoades

Dr. Uribe treats each patient as if they were a family member, doing for them what he would for his own family.!

My revision went better then l expected. I had an original L-3,4 -S-1 lower lumbar fusion that was done without putting the natural curve back in my back. I developed severe scoliosis. I was only able to walk short distances with a walker, otherwise a wheelchair. Dr. Uribe, preformed a 12 hour surgery that included essentially braking my back and removing all the old hardware, putting new hardware in from T-10 -S1, straightening my bent over, and crooked back as he went. This was basically a scoliosis revision. If there is any one out there who needs a surgeon who knows what he is doing this is the guy. I now can hold my head up high, and walk without the use of even a cane, for the first time in 20 years.

David Engelman

I had a spinal fusion in 2012 that was remarkably successful. But my symptoms reappeared 5 years later. Dr. Uribe promptly and effectively diagnosed the problem, and clearly communicated my problem and recommended solution to me. Dr. Uribe then fused my L4-5 vertebrae using the XLIF. When I awoke from recovery, my pain and symptoms were completed gone. And the recovery process has been minimal because the surgical procedure was minimally invasive. I thank and commend Dr. Uribe for his skill in developing and implementing this procedure.

ronald terry

Two years ago I fell off a ladder on my back. I began experiencing sciatic pain down the back of my left leg. Six months ago I told my primary care physician the pain was at a point where I was unable to walk or exercise comfortably. He sent me to physical therapy for five weeks. It did not help the pain. He then sent me to receive nerve block injections. They did not help. My last hope was surgery. I met with Dr Uribe on December 3, 2018 for a pre-op consultation. He scheduled my surgery for December 20, 2018. I am currently recovering and was ecstatic to tell him at my 8 week post-op consultation that I no longer have any sciatic pain, zero, zip, nada.

Beth Delk

I am truly blessed to have Dr. Uribe and his staff giving excellent care for my upcoming surgery for severe scoliosis. My first appointment with Dr. Uribe was completely thorough and they have a program called Medical Memory which videos the entire meeting and consultation.. All the surgery information is on video which I can share with family and friends. This will be available during pre op, post op, p t and other visits. Dr. Uribe and his assistant, Briana Becket are there to help me with all my needs, I am looking forward to a complete recovery

When I first started having back issues it was just before the holidays. I brushed it off as I had too many other things to do like everyone else around the holidays. It wasn't until a coworker told me I looked like a "C". I tried to straighten myself out thinking I was just leaning due to the pain. She told me I now looked like an "S". When I went home, I looked at myself and my right hip was sticking out. I could not straighten it out. At this point, I had two positions I could sleep in but not for long periods of time without severe pain shooting down my legs. I was taking Ibuprofen daily and I never take medications. I went to my PCP who ordered x-rays because that is where you have to start. Then he ordered an MRI. I was able to have Dr. Uribe look at it quickly because I did my MRI at St. Joes. He called me into the office and explained the severity of my herniated disc and that it needed to be removed. I was scheduled for surgery shortly after. I remember waking up from surgery, walking to the bathroom, and being disappointed my hip was still sticking out. The back pain was gone though. Dr. Uribe was able to do a minimally invasive procedure. I was able to go home after surgery. By the next day, my hip was back to normal. I was on muscle relaxers and Ibuprofen for three days and then medication free after that. I never had to take the narcotics though prescribed. I am very thankful for Dr. Uribe, his skill, and the recovery I was able to make. I would recommend Dr. Uribe to any of my family and friends...and have.

Brenda Hardesty

Dr. Juan Uribe is an extremely competent neurosurgeon. I recommend him highly for anyone who needs back surgery. I traveled from Texas to Phoenix in order to have my surgery at a highly-rated neurosurgical center with a highly respected doctor (he is the head of the spine department). It was well worth the travel to work with this wonderful doctor, his staff, and the staff of the hospital and rehab center. Dr. Uribe is kind, brilliant, and meticulous in his work. I could not have asked for a better surgeon. He explained my options and the surgical risks thoroughly. He took time to answer all my questions. He has a very friendly and approachable manner. I chose to have surgery to try to reduce or eliminate the back pain I have suffered on and off for over 30 years. The pain was interfering with my life more and more. Without some intervention, all I could see for my future was less activity and lower quality of life. Dr. Uribe performed my back surgery in April 2018. He straightened my scoliosis curve and fused my spine from T-12 to S-1. He used minimally invasive techniques, but it was still a major surgery, requiring two 8-hour surgery days, with a total of 13 incisions (most of them small). After a few days of recovery in the ICU, I moved to the affiliated rehab center. I only needed to spend about five days at rehab before I was ready to return home. The rehab therapists commented frequently about how quickly I was improving. I told them I gave the credit to my excellent surgeon. Within just a few weeks, I was able to discontinue the post-surgical narcotic medicines because my pain was well controlled by just Tylenol. I am now less than four months past my surgery. Already, I have been able to resume most of my daily activities. I am even able to do some things that I could not manage before my surgery. I hope and expect to become even stronger as I heal and as the bone grows in my spinal fusion. There can be no guarantees of a perfect outcome when a person has a huge procedure. Choosing a great doctor and facility can only improve the chances of a successful outcome. I am grateful to Dr. Uribe for sharing with me his skilled hands, knowledgeable intellect, and kind heart.

Heli Vazquez

I am incredibly grateful to have found such a skilled and compassionate physician. He spends time with each patient explaining things in detail in both the hospital and his office. And talk about his team. They are wonderful. Very efficient and professional

Robert Eastlack

Great surgeon who has unparalleled expertise in the field.

Kenneth Ragland

Dr. Uribe is an awesome, caring, and knowledgeable Neurosurgeon with a wonderful supporting staff.

Pinkcherries82

He is such an honest kind man and I’m so grateful to know him. Precise and excellent in surgery. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a neurosurgeon.

Dolly Sokol

Dr Uribe did a fantastic job in diagnosing my husband's primary spinal problem. No other doctor thought about doing an MRI on the upper back, which was, as it turned out, the most severe spine problem. His staff was first rate. The fusion of 9 vertebrae was quite serious with a chance of paralysis. He is very skilled and gave my husband feeling back in his legs and stopped the pain on his sides. He will have another surgery in 6-8 months to take care of the lower back and my husband would not think of going to anyone except Dr. Uribe! Thank you, sir!

Bri H

Great surgeon and staff!

Regina McNairLarese

Dr Uribe is a delightful, awesome, wizard when he re-built the lower third of my mother thoracic spine. He successfully removed a bone spur which caused excruciating pain and disability for 20+ years, and gave me my life back. His students and staff are inspired, caring and professional.

Claudia Danovic

I wish I could give Dr. Uribe more than five stars! I am now three months post-op for repair of degenerative scoliosis and am extremely happy with the results. Prior to surgery I had difficulty walking. Even standing more than five minutes was a challenge. Straightening my 70-year old spine was not an easy proposition but Dr. Uribe is “the expert” at this difficult surgery. He is held in very high regard by the Barrow Board of Directors, the medical residents who are lucky to be working under his tutelage, his nursing staff, and by my family and me. After three months I am walking several miles a day, am pain free and two inches taller now that my spine is straight!

Eileen Scott

After being treated for severe lower back pain in Western NY with no success, I approached Barrow Institute for a second opinion. I had reviewed their website and each surgeon's expertise. My thought was it would be amazing if Dr. Uribe took my case. He did! Miracle #1. At my initial assessment he told me he could fix my myriad issues. Miracle #2. My surgery was a challenging 10 hours, taxing the amazing team of skilled surgeons' endurance and concentration. The outcome is Miracle #3. It's 7 weeks post surgery and I am regaining my strength, virtually pain and medication free. I am walking and swimming and my husband and I are planning trips we were unable to take the past 2 years. I will forever consider Dr. Uribe my Miracle Worker, although that tribute could never aggrandize his perception of himself. He is approachable and so kind. In addition to Dr. Uribe's kindness, surgical skill and wonderful care, I would be remiss if I did not mention his office staff, in particular, Briana Becker, his chief medical secretary. Her patience, and quick response to my questions/needs was remarkable. I will always remember her caring, concern and efficiency. As well, thank you to the medical professionals who assisted in my care inside and outside of the OR. I am eternally grateful.

Mayda Cruz-Maxwell

I would, and in fact already do, recommend it with my eyes closed.

Debbie Hagaman

I recently met with Dr. Uribe for a consult about a problem with long term back pain. I felt certain I needed surgery due to a bad MRI report and two other recent consults with other neuro surgeons who recommended surgery. I had decided to visit Barrows and Dr. Uribe in order to seek the highest level of expertise. Dr. Uribe advised against surgery at this time due to a recent abatement of symptoms. His advise was that my clinical presentation was such that a surgical intervention was not warranted. His judgement has proved correct as I have been recently having a normal, symptom free life without having to have had a major surgery. I appreciate Dr. Uribe's conservative approach and his excellent integrity in electing not to perform surgery at this time. This was exceptional. If in the future, surgery becomes mandatory, I will return to Barrows and Dr. Uribe. I am glad you have a doctor of his stature and integrity on your staff. John P. Hagaman

eileen r

I had terrible lower back pain when standing or walking. Dr Uribe (mr. Miracle) performed a spinal fusion on L5-S1. They day after my surgery I was walking without the back pain I can't say enough about the treatment from Dr Uribe and his staff

Gloria Gomez

Amazing surgeon!

Dariela Molinar

Dr. Uribe did a fantastic job. His staff was very professional and approachable, we are very thankful.

Juan Pedro Giraldo Restrepo

Excellent teacher! Great surgeon! Total admiration for your work, I’m learning a lot from you! Thanks

Santiago Angel

Great spine surgeon, one of the best in the world, great with patients, really caring guy, he takes the time to explain everything to the patients and takes great pride in what he does. Would recommend him every time.

James Dick

I met Dr . Uribe recently His staff was thoughtful He Treated me with care. I look forward to the operation and have seen many Dr’s this is the best experience I have had.

Helen Thompson

I highly recommend Dr. Uribe. I had a synovial cyst on L3-4. I was in intense pain in both legs with this. When I saw Dr Uribe, his resident first saw me then Dr. Uribe came in to explain to me what needed to be done and how they would do it. He explained the surgery and answered all my questions. Then, due to a cancellation, his secretary was able to schedule my surgery within a week. There were many helpful online educational materials regarding the hospitalization and the surgery to review before surgery. The hospital hospital staff, the physicians and residents were all very professional, friendly and attentive. When I awoke from the procedure, the pain was all gone. Hurrah! I was able to go home that afternoon.

Jane B

He saved my life and sanity when he did my c1-2 surgery. Great staff!!

Gayle Smith

Dr. Uribe and his Staff are awesome!!! I was diagnosed with a 4 level compression in my cervical spine. Dr. Uribe gave me lots of options on how I could manage my neck: 1) I could live my whole life and never have surgery. I could manage it with neck injections. 2) I could live my life and have a blow to my head and be paralyzed from shoulders down. I drive freeways in Phoenix and tailgaters are always around. I also ride horses and accidents happen!!! 3) I could have surgery. Dr. Uribe told me to think about my options and no pressure!! I waited 6 months before I made a decision. I decided to go for surgery. Best decision I have ever made. Brianna jumped through all the hoops to get my insurance to cover surgery. Dr. Uribe told me it would be a tough surgery and recovery would be long. I’m 6 months out and doing great! Dr. Uribe and team have helped me to get my life back. My stenosis is healed and bones are fusing!! There are surgeons and then there is Barrows!!! You are in a class of your own!!!

Maria de Botero

Best spine surgeon. Highly recommend him. Great best side manners. Minimally invasive surgery at its best. Put my life back on track. Can live now with no pain.

Robin York

Dr. Uribe changed my life. I struggled with sciatica for as long as I can remember. It got progressively worse recently, causing me to have to buy a wheelchair just to go to his office. I used Barrows second opinion, where Dr. Uribe reviewed my MRI and issued his opinion. Within 2 days, I was in his office and in less than a week, I was in surgery (thanks to the amazing Briana). Walking into my house after surgery, I was shocked that there was no longer any pain. In fact, I took a pain pill in recovery, and that was it. My recovery was virtually pain free. I can walk without pain. I can teach my students without sitting. I can work all day, cook dinner for my family, and end my day pain free. This hasn’t been possible for the last couple of years, at a minimum. I am so incredibly grateful for Dr. Uribe and his staff. I can’t thank them enough for returning quality to my life. I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with back pain. Literally life changing!!

rpb0903 .

I literally cannot express enough gratitude towards Dr. Uribe, Briana, all of the residents, and the entire Barrow staff for all of their incredible work correcting my lower lumbar spine. Prior to my first consultation with Dr. Uribe, my back was in rough shape. It had gotten to the point where I was physically unable to tolerate even the lightest activities. Even sitting and standing were only for tolerable for 15/20 minutes at a time. To escape the pain, I spent all day and night lying flat on my back on the living room floor. If I managed to sleep more than an hour or two at a time, that was a successful night. In addition to constant pain and discomfort, I was also taking so many anti-inflammatory pills, pain killers, and muscle relaxers (sometimes up to 30 a day) that if the pain didn't kill me first, liver or kidney failure would have eventually done it. Dr. Uribe is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and made me feel very confident with the decision to proceed with surgery to have my spine fused. My last surgery was June, 2018 and today I can say that my body truthfully feels as good as it did when I was 20 years old. No more pain, no more medicine, just a brand new lease on life. If anyone that's reading this is on the fence about seeing a doctor for their condition, please do yourself a favor and visit Dr. Uribe. He honestly saved my life and I'm eternally thankful for him and his entire staff. Thank you Dr. Uribe!

Woody Watson

Dr Uribe, there is no better spinal physician in the world but you. Thank you to the surgical staff (Dr Baronowski attending physician and Brianna office head and the compassionate and competent nursing staff at St Josephs hospital who will stop at nothing short of the best for their patients. I am so grateful to have you as my new family and the unparalleled care you provided me.

Viviana Gonzales

Dr Uribe is a great surgeon to work with! Has great bedside manner and would definitely recommend.

V.J. Bentivegna

I wrote this review on his previous place of employment, I didn't know he moved. So i copied and pasted it here. I also sent him a long email to the email address on his website, although I doubt he will ever see it, or if he does, will ever read it. He couldn't even give me the time of day for appointments that I paid for to see him with money I barely had, so why would he spend time reading an email? Original 1-star review I wrote: Dr. Juan Uribe was a totally different person after my surgery and after he collected money for his services. i never once saw him after my surgery at the follow up appointments, then he ends my disability with no notice, and i'm sure you can see where things have gone from there. figures, all doctors i've seen thus far including my previous surgeon, are all the same. they only care about the money. that is all that matters to them. hopefully he never has to walk in my shoes, because that's the only way he will understand what he has done to my life. I do not recommend using him, because you get written off after he bills your insurance.

Rafael Coronell

Took such amazing care of my relative. What a caring, compassionate and intelligent doctor. He followed up and was so helpful before, during, and after surgery.
