The most down to earth and light-hearted highly specialized doctor that I've come across. He is proof you can be a master in one of the most difficult medical fields and still genuinely care about strangers who happen to become patients. The numbness and electrical shocks I was feeling in my arms have been gone for months now and Dr. Gropper gets all of the credit. Looking forward to my next appointment in 6 months!

I had sciatica in both my legs for the past 4 years. It has only been 2 weeks since Dr. Gropper operated on me and my pain is entirely gone, only some numbness left. I thought it would have taken months to notice results but I was blown away. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. G!

It was a pleasure to let a fellow Elvis fan operate on me. I've been back on the golf course this summer and I bestow all the credit to Dr. Gropper.

Dr. Gropper has always been very attentive with great explanations of any procedure and spending time explaining any ongoing symptoms. He has always been very accessible to us after hours, even calling on a Sunday evening to check up on me.

Dr. Gropper has preformed three operations on me and I think that he is the BEST. He cares about me and helps me. I have referred many of my family and friends to him and they think that he is a WATER Walker too.

I came in with intense low back pain, and after just one surgery I feel completely renewed. I give my greatest appreciation to Dr. Gropper and his staff!!

Dr. Gropper is the best of the best! I highly recommend him. I had back surgery 4 days ago and feel great after excruciating pain! No words to express how thankful I am that he did my surgery. I felt very confident in Dr. Gropper from the very first visit. This means a lot to me as I was not the least bit worried about the surgery. His staff is some of the best I have ever encountered!!!

I had a C5/C6 cervical fusion by Dr. Gropper and then a micro discectomy on my lower back. I always tell people I think he walks on water and also has a great sense of humor
