I have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Moncrief & received 2 separate back surgeries by him. He could tell you exactly what symptoms u r experiencing by looking at ur MRI. Both went extremely well. The moment I awoke the severe pain was gone. I am fortunate to have had the pleasure of being operated on by this brilliant, kind Dr.

Dr. Moncrief is the best neurosurgeon in Dayton, OH. I was seen by Dr. Moncrief on referral from an Orthopedic Specialist after an MRI detected a tumor on my spinal cord. Dr. Moncrief saw me for an initial consult on a Saturday and then scheduled me into the Operating Room (on a priority basis) for surgery on a Monday. On Dec, 21, 2001, Dr. Moncrief removed a grape-sized benign meningioma that trapped inside the spinal cord pressing on the nerves within the spinal column. The surgery took almost 5 hours and was performed flawlessly. Dr. Moncrief and his staff took exceptional care of me and I have had no recurring symptoms in the years since. I am writing this review after all these years as a tribute to his abilities as an exceptional neurosurgeon and humble, soft-spoken retired former military doctor. Thank you, Dr. Moncrief and godspeed. - Joseph P. Patsy

I had my surgery just 10 years ago. I had been in miserable pain. A prior doctor said I needed rods, screws, plates etc. for my back. Dr. Moncrief said I did not need all that. My comfort after surgery by him was immediate. I think I could have went to work the next day. Simply the best, no problems at all since he worked his magic, I can do anything I want now even at this date and I am 70 years old. I never thanked him enough, I hope he sees this. Thanks again. Life and back restored. Jim Scheer Celina, Ohio

I don't feel rushed. He listens to me. Schedules my MRI's the same morning of my appt with him so that I don't have to come back another time, to make it convenient for me.

He was topflight. Another Dr. said I needed rods, screws and fusion. He said I did not and I did not. After surgery all pain was relieved, I have been pain free for 4 years and I can do anything I want without back discomfort. Just excellent overall.
