Dr. Glenn Lee Keiper, MD

After suffering for years with low back pain and sciatica, I saw Dr Keiper at KeiperSpine and I’ve been pain free since surgery. The surgery was well explained and happened relatively fast. I have already recommended many to his practice.

After living with severe lower back pain for over a year due to spinal stenosis, I had reached a point where I could barely walk or stand up straight. As someone who has always been active, it was devastating not to be able to walk even a block without losing my balance. The pain was unbearable and took away the simple joys in life — even walking my dog felt like a distant dream. I honestly didn’t think I could ever be “fixed.” When the VA Medical Center was unable to resolve my back issues, they referred me to Dr. Glenn L. Keiper Jr., MD. From my very first contact with his office, I was impressed by the professionalism and kindness of his staff. It took some time to get my first appointment, but I quickly understood why — this office is thorough, compassionate, and truly committed to their patients. At my initial visit, Dr. Keiper reviewed my MRI and immediately understood my condition and options. I didn’t have to relive my entire story of pain; he already knew what I was… experiencing and how to help. That alone was such a relief — to finally have a doctor who listens, understands, and acts with confidence and compassion. I had my lower spinal laminectomy at the end of October, and the entire experience was seamless. From the check-in staff to the nurses and surgical team, everyone worked together like a well-oiled machine. I felt cared for and respected every step of the way. It was truly five-star treatment — unlike anything I’ve experienced at other surgical centers. My recovery has been excellent. The office continues to check in and make sure I have everything I need. When Dr. Keiper removed my staples a week later, I told him I never thought I’d feel this good again — and I cried, out of sheer relief and gratitude. Thank you, Dr. Keiper and your entire team, for your professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. You’ve given me my life back, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Dr. Glenn L. Keiper Jr., MD, to anyone suffering from back issues. You will be in the best hands.

Dr. Keiper performed a laminectomy on my L4 and L5 and it was very successful for my severe stenosis. My back pain has been eliminated as well as most of my nerve pain. I am very thankful for his expertise!! I highly recommend Glenn Keiper.

Dr.Keiper was wonderful. He squeezed me into his schedule last minute for consult and surgery. Minimally invasive and no complications, his surgical team was top notch as well. I am 35 with two kids and he gave me the best prognosis. He is trained in new technology such as the barricade device, that most back surgeons are not. I woke up with no pain and started to recover the feeling a tiny bit in my leg after about a week! Incision is healing well. I feel lucky to have had him operate on me, I flew all the way to Oregon from Wyoming specifically for his surgical abilities. No one I would trust more for a large extruded disk repair. Expecting a full recovery back to police work in 3 months.

I waited 2 months for my appointment. They called 4 hours before the appointment to demand hundreds of dollars in cash before they would see me even though this was a car accident, with a claim number and I have medical insurance. Shame on them for such unethical practices.

It has been a few days shy of a year since Dr Keiper operated on my lower back. After living with horrible pain for nearly 11 months in less than an hour my pain was gone completely. I know this may not be all out comes but for me it was incredible to be pain free almost immediately. His staff was wonderful making sure I was informed before and after. Very caring! Kudos to all of you my life is whole again!!! I can never thank you all enough!!!

My surgery in a talented and caring surgical center was life changing. The entire staff treated me like family and I am pain free! I Love this place!

At seven weeks post-op, I am a walking miracle! Suffering with Spondylolisthesis, facet arthropathy, synovial cyst formation to produce severe canal stenosis.   I am so thankful I made the decision to use Dr. Glenn Keiper for my back surgery. In every connection within the medical field I came upon during this journey, Dr. Keiper was the only surgeon recommended. I wanted a surgeon on the cutting edge of technology and Dr. Keiper designed and developed the technique used on my spine.   Beginning with our first consultation and reviewing my MRI results, Dr. Keiper was able to put me at ease with his explanations and confidence at what he knew he could fix. He took the time to answer my questions more than once, always making sure I understood. He said I would notice immediate improvement and he was correct. Every step I have taken since surgery has been done with a very thankful heart. I look forward to every step I take and gaining strength for a future full of adventure.   Thank… you, Dr. Keiper, for your dedication to the betterment of movement and helping to improve my quality of life. I also highly recommend Ralph Peterson with KeiperSpine. He was able to calm my nerves (more than once) while waiting for the long process of insurance approval. He was able to factually demonstrate my condition by having me perform a series of tests and explain to me what my legs were experiencing. These tests gave me confidence that after surgery, I would be relieved of the symptoms I was experiencing. When I went in for staple removal (which was painless), his encouragement made me feel proud of the progress I had made at only one week post-op. Then, my first X-ray checking on my new hardware was again a huge encouragement. I am happy to report I am well ahead of all timelines with the minimally invasive back surgery only Dr. Keiper with Ralph are approved to perform here locally.

In 2013 I had surgery for herniated discs. 2 months later a fusion as those discs had ruptured. On the follow up it was found the fusion had moved. Still in extreme pain had surgery on another disc he felt may be the problem. 4th surgery in 8 months he went back in and replaced the fusion except for pedicle screws. Still extreme pain and no mobility. I was told that maybe the nerve will regenerate and nothing else he could do. I was crippled for 3 years until after rupturing another disc the surgeon repairing it had to dismantle dr keepers fusion. The pedicle bone he had inserted the stews into were broken and the implant had never fused. I lost my life for 3 years and was in unbearable pain. He never cared enough to follow up!!!! Today I limp , have a neurostimulator that helps me exist. The damage done is not reversible. I was you at one point.

I went to Dr Keiper the first time in 2005 for evaluation of a fractured L5-S1 fusion from a fall suffered while working for the BLM, immediate stabilization was needed to repair fracture. Pain relief was not achieved with this surgery like he stated. I was started on numerous meds by another doc and eventually had a stimulator implant placed along with the meds I had tolerable relief. Thirteen years later I was in excruciating pain an required another fusion one level up L5-L4. Dr Keiper and Ralph Petersen did an amazing job on me and now I am pain free in my legs and completely off all meds. Thank God for pioneers in this field who understand what their patients are seeking... Highly recommend for your neurosurgery needs.
