Dr. John Eric Wanebo, MD

Dr Wanebo was wonderful. First Dr after 7 years of pain management/steroid shots/etc to finally diagnose my my issue. Going in for surgery soon and looking forward to regaining my life back. I felt he genuinely cared.

Dr. Wanebo explained the results of the MRA and the options. He answered my questions and performed a clipping procedure for an anurism. I frel great and am not worried about a strike. His bedside manner is soft and comfortable. Great dr. And experience.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Wanebo and would highly recommend him. He is extremely detail-oriented and takes the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of care, which gave me a high level of confidence throughout the process. His communication skills are outstanding—he makes complex medical information easy to understand and ensures you are fully informed about all available treatment options. What stood out most is that he genuinely cares about his patients. He never made me feel rushed and always took the time to answer questions and address concerns thoughtfully. It’s clear that patient care is a top priority for him. Overall, a truly professional and compassionate physician.

I will definitely recommend Dr Wanebo. He is a very professional and experienced doctor. I was very impressed by his humanity and compassion. I am very grateful to him and the other doctors that collaborated with him. My surgery was a success. Did surgery on wife too, she is very happy.

I had Trigeminal neuralgia an excruciating condition that I was misdiagnosed with for 5 years. I went ti Dr. Wanebo and he diagnosed me within 15 minutes. I am extremely thankful to him for giving me my life back. He performed a craniotomy and a procedure called Micro-vascular Decompression. All the pain I was experiencing was gone as soon as surgery was complete. I spent 5 weeks recuperating and have been back to work for a week. Thank you Dr. Wanebo and staff! I would not go anywhere else for any neurological disorders!

Dr Wanebo performed a skull section on me and I couldn’t have asked for better care or a more competent surgeon and supportive team. I would send any one I loved to him for safekeeping and help.

I was in pain management for 15 years getting epidural steroid injections and taking pain medication. Finally, my pain management doctor said it was time to talk about surgery. I saw Dr. Wanebo, he was kind and caring and explained everything to me. He recommended a laminectomy surgery, 1 hour procedure. I had the surgery 3 1/2 years ago. Since the surgery I have had no back pain, no leg pain and only took pain medication for 4 days after the surgery. I was back to work in less than 2 weeks. I am so grateful for Dr. Wanebo’s skill and expertise. My life is so much better and pain free than before the surgery. I have had a few surgeries in my life and by far this was the most successful. Dr. Wanebo’s follow up care was as great as the first appointment. His staff is very pleasant and competent. If I ever need another spine or brain surgery, Dr. Wanebo is the one I will go to.

Dr. Wanebo is extremely gifted and skilled in his profession. He is kind, patient, caring and has a good sense of humor. I was so fortunate that he was the Neurosurgeon that took my case when I was rushed to Scottsdale Memorial ER w/a brain tumor. The surgery was a complete success, his follow-up care is great, he never rushes through the appointment, he makes me feel as important as I was during my hospital stay and surgery. If you are ever in need of a Neurosurgeon or knows someone who does, Dr. Wanebo is the one!

I had a 100% benign tumor that was destroying my life and I could not see it. I went in on a Friday not being able to tell you my name, surgery on Tuesday and home on Friday. Dr. Wanebo and his team took excellent care of me, kind, thoughtful gentle bedside manners, good humor. I saw him yesterday for follow-up and remove staples, I am a miracle baby due to this beautiful person. You need a neurosurgeon, this is the man!

A successful surgery! He also was very attentive to my needs and I felt he was very thorough. I would most definitely use Dr. Wanebo again.
