Reviews of Greenwald Neurosurgical (Doctor)

Zach Hansen

Had surgery 2 years ago and he was helpful the whole time before the procedure. The staff was very nice, and Greenwald sounded like he had a very good understanding of what was going on.

I can't say enough good things about the care I received from Dr. Greenwald and staff. It has been truly life altering. He's the only surgeon I have ever seen that didn't recommend surgery as the first option. I saw him nearly five years ago for some low back pain issues--he recommended physical therapy--which worked (thanks Rehab Authority). After re-injuring myself a year ago, and trying PT, shots, alternate healing, etc, I finally when back in to see Dr. Greenwald. His prognosis this time was the only thing that can help me is surgery---which it did. After months of not even being able to walk to my mailbox with my legs going numb--today, 4 months post-surgery, I feel like I have a new lease on life. I'm feeling better than I have in years. Can't thank everyone at Greenwald Neurosurgery enough.

Was able to diagnose my bulging disc after a year and half of misdiagnosis by other doctors. Had surgery and it went as great as surgery can go. Following the surgery I felt significantly better after a couple months of healing, but was still having lower back pain. Only complaints that I have is that I was told by Greenwald to "move on with my life", and to do things that I would do before my bulging disc after about 6-8 weeks post-op. I went about my life and as time went on my then mild back pain has now progressed again to chronic back pain. This is about a year & half later. I was told by a chiropractor that I probably should have had physical therapy after the surgery to build back up my core and prevent my spine from compressing again after having some of my disc removed and no hardware to support it. Also Greenwald "doesn't work with attorneys" (my bulging disc was caused by an car accident) and if u want him to he charges a ton. My attorney paid for me to see another neurosurgeon in Pocatello. I would have to say that in my experience Greenwald will listen to you, your concerns, and is a very talented neurosurgeon, just a heads up about the attorney stuff & the possibility of needing physical therapy after the surgery.

Doctor performs great surgery, but very poor patient care by doctor and his staff. Mom had two back surgeries. The first, she's unprepared - not told to bring a brace or medication. He hadn't even talked to her for two months before. Afterwards, he nearly let her go home hours after a psychotic episode due to painkillers. Zero follow-up and a real struggle to get anyone to even call in a prescription. Had knee surgery after the second surgery and called the office before to inform in case their were concerns. 5 months after, she's told it may screw up her back alignment. It took nine months for a follow up appointment. Nurse read her chart today - multiple mistakes on medication and health questions. After waiting over an hour to see the doctor, she just left.

Honestly went through the typical neurosurgeon motions. If you have Chiari go to Dr Oro in Colorado.

I'm only a couple of days post op and feel so much better than I anticipated! I credit this to the skill level that Doctor Greenwald operates at. His staff has been very helpful and friendly. If any friends have the unfortunate need for brain or spine surgery, I know where I will send them!

Amazing doctor and staff! I could not ask for a better doctor and staff! Dr Greenwald does exceptional work. He is very caring and concerned about all his patients and takes the time to answer any questions that you may have. He will spend all his time answering questions or concerns that you may have. He will give you the best care and treatment that you need so that you can feel well again and become pain free. He is very honest and is seriously the best nuerosurgeon around. Him and his staff are all amazing! Great atmosphere. All very friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone that needs an excellent, caring neurosurgeon.

My mother had back surgery with Dr Greenwald. She says she hasn't felt this good since she was 30 and her back is much much better. I understand it was a very difficult case and he must be an excellent doctor. Highly recommended.

Dr.Greenwald performed my surgery and removed my brain tumor. People that did not know me when I had the surgery can't even tell that I ever had one. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, but he is a very considerate person. He is always cheerful and friendly when I have follow up appointments. I would recommend him to anyone without reserve.

My Wife had T12 surgery which was done and complete recovery. Great surgeon and nice person.

I was experiencing a lot of pain in my neck. After physical therapy and massage therapy and pain management therapy I was referred to Dr Greenwald for surgery. That was six months ago. I had some complications in the beginning but those were taken care of by Dr Greenwald and I am doing much better now. The difference between the pain before surgery and after surgery is truly amazing. I feel good again. I’m so glad I went to Dr Greenwald. He is a skilled and knowledgeable surgeon. Thank you Dr Greenwald.
