Alexander E. Ropper, MD

I saw Dr Ropper as a last resort having had serious back surgery and pain for 45 years of my life. He said I had 2 very bad options, continue as I was, an option unsustainable for me any longer, and a surgery where he would straighten my spine from lumbar to neck and secure with 4 rods and screws. He said he felt he could improve my condition 80% which for me would be huge. Very very risky surgery (12 hours under anesthesia) and I was very scared. We had eyeball to eyeball communication and I knew I would be in the best of hands. 8 months out now, I am standing straight, no wheelchair, walker, or cane and for the first time in 45 years off of ALL pain meds. He gave me back my life and I will be forever grateful... If you need a neurosurgeon, he is your man. And as a note he is a regular Joe. A fine human being.

Saw Doctor Ropper on referral, he was only interested in sending me for pain management rather than finding a answer to my rare case. I felt rushed and poorly treated. He would not listen to my concerns or discuss my questions. After waiting over 1 hr. for appointment time, he spent less than 5 minutes talking to me. Find someone who cares about finding out what's wrong and who takes you on a path to healing not masking pain.

I suffered for years with my lower back. Did everything, pain medicine, lumbar shots, therapy, etc. finally met Dr Ropper and he did a total lumbar replacement. I feel great and pain free !! I highly recommend him
