Max E Ots, MD, FACS

After three weeks struggling to get anyone to take my arm/shoulder pain and loss of use seriously, I found myself in Dr. Ots office. In a matter of minutes, his assistant and he restored my faith in Green Bay physicians and I am no longer considering leaving the area for treatment. It's early in my diagnosis but after three ER visits; missing 8 of 15 days work which made me fear loss of my job; the ongoing wonder how long I will financially suffer from this issue ... I am at the very least confident that Dr. Ots will see me through this and treat me as though my pain and medical condition is special ... because it is!

Dr. Ots was very professional and informative. That's all I can say after one visit

Dr Ots came back from vacation in MI on a Saturday kust to see me as a new patien and got me in for surgery within days. OUTSTAND job. Went from be unable to walk 20 feet to running ultra marathons, 50 milers 7h30m; full marathins 3h18mins and 1/2 marathons 1h29min at age 52 within in 2 years after surgery. Was pain free after surgery. Knows his stuff and is and oustanding doctor. Would recomend him to anyone. He answered all questions and took a great deal of time with me on follow up visits as he knew runing was very important to me.

Dr. Ots and his P.A. were very professional and I went to him for a second opinion after one of his colleagues refused to do another lumbar surgery on me, although the EMG showed radiculopathy into my right leg and sciatic nerve 2 years after the initial surgery done by his colleague, which was a miserable failure. I received numerous spinal injections and needed to be on narcotics for two years before I received any pain relief i.e. when Dr. Ots did my surgery. He is the best, and he was the answer to my prayers.

Wanted to do surgery after the first visit with my wife who had 2 bulging discs. No conservative treatment, nothing. Saw him on a friday wanted to cut on Tuesday. Sought second opinion and they advised therapy and conservative treatment. My wife is now doing awesome. No surgery. I work in a capacity where I deal with many Doctors. If you like repeat surgeries, poor recoveries and to take advantage of Workmen's Comp then Dr. Ots, Dr. Baek and that whole office are your guys!

Fixed my husband back (no pun intended)to 100%. My husband works construction after C6-C7 fusion

He was a great doctor as was his PA. I find it very difficult to believe the other poster who stated that Dr. Ots told them that they would be a drug addict... Dr. Ots would never say something like this, and I found his staff to be excellent.

Best Neuro. Dr. ever. Very samrt, and informative. Great office staff!!

About 3 years ago I had the unfortunate experience of being referred to Dr. Ots for spinal problems. As I tried to explain my problems, he became impatient, told me I needed updated tests, and after they were done, did do surgery on my cervical spine,which went horribly wrong, as the screws started coming out right away. There was no attempt at getting any kind of pain control, and he waited until the screws were almost all the way out (4 months) before he would correct the problem.He then told me that there was nothing else he could do for me, that I would most likely be a drug addict the rest of my life and in terrible pain. I would not recommend this physician to anyone who wanted expert care with a top notch staff. It took me 2 years to find the physician I have now who is wonderful. It took me that long because after the horrific care, I no longer trusted any physician to help me. There are really fine docs out there, unfortunately, Dr. Ots is not among those.

Great doctor, wish more would be like him!

Just called to set up an appointment. The receptionist was very unfriendly. I was told I cant get in to see him without a referral. I guess he is better than everyone else, I need a special invitation. Or maybe my money isnt good enough.
