Very polite, very professional.

Professional and on task- he answers your questions and discusses solutions without pressure. Best staff!!

Thoroughly explains the diagnosis and treatment. He is never rushing.

Extremely great doctor he done great on my back surgery

Best orthopedic surgeon in Tennessee I couldn't be happier with my neck surgery. This Doctor and his assistant Mandy are awesome professionals and I would highly recommend them

I found the Dr. very helpful. I look forward to his help with my upcoming surgery.

Very honest and helpful. Understanding of your needs. I was in an out fast. Definitely would recommend this office

He has done two surgeries on me very good Doctor .can’t complain about nothing I would recommend him for sure.

Understanding and listens,

Very committed to the comfort and confidence for the Patient to reach a satisfactory relief from pain

Great doctor. Tells you like it is.Takes time to listen to you and explains what your problem is and explains what is the best approach to fix it.

He seemed very dismissive, and asked me if I was on pain meds. Made me feel like that was why he thought I was there. I’m seeking treatment, but will not take pain meds, not even after surgery.

Very professional and down to earth guy. Enjoyed our conversation with him.

I'm hoping for a better quality of life after the upcoming injections.

Great doctor. He took the time sit an explan things to me, an answer any questions I had. Highly recommend

Professional, understanding of pain issues

Very knowledgeable,polite, and makes sure you know what is going on and has a great staff

Always helpful and upfront

Very good Doctor explains everything to you and answers your questions

Great people at Tier 1

Straight shooter and conservative. Highly recommend!

Always talks with you very interested in helping you and is very aware of your condition.

He is a very amazing doctor. All questions were answered and listened to any issue I had. He explained everything in detail and showed concern about my well being.

Thank you for everything! I absolutely appreciate all the help you've done thus far.

Listens to you and the most important does not rush you and seems to care

Excellent

Good bed side manner. Asked what brought me there. Began telling him my journey and he shut down and focused solely on something that I wasn't even there for! Tried addressing the real reason I was there and he hurried me out dismissing my issue as "old age" and "you're not a spring chicken." I'm 57 years old with a herniated disc, nerve compression, loss of cerebral spinal fluid signal, and spinal stenosis. Wouldn't hear none of it or even suggest PT. Said to maybe try Lyrica but never wrote a script for it, and never asked if I wanted to try it. When I read his background I thought I would finally be seeing someone to help my neck pain and headaches. The only thing he suggested was some spinal stimulation tool that wasn't even for the reason I was there! I'm a veteran and am painfully aware of the medical caregivers who treat you like a number and don't listen. He did the same and I should have known when I read about his background working for the VA in Nashville. Will NEVER go back

He took a lot of time and answered my questions.

I did not see him, but a very helpful doctor that explained things.

Excellent Doc!!!

Honest and accurate

Very knowledgeable and caring physician.

I like that he has possibly another option for my back. That would be great if it turns out to be a big part of my remaining problem.

The best bedside manner I've ever e ncountered in my life.

Very perisonalble takes time to talk to you and understand and cares

Great experience

Excellent doctor/surgeon! I’m healing so quickly and well! He did a very good job with me! His staff is fantastic! Always there for me! I don’t know where I’d be right now if not for him and his staff! Thank you Dr!

Very mice able to understand him if I didn’t, he explained it to me. Overall, I gave him a five because he deserved it.

Excellent. Could not recommend Dr Jermakowicz more highly. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and empathetic.

I like that this docter is honest with me . I feel that he is doing the best for me.

Took time to answer my questions and was easy to talk to👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Dr Jermakowicz is very knowledgeable, personable, and kind.

Very knowledgeable, listens to your symptoms and gets your treatment right away.

I was not at all educated or helped by him.He was mumbling his words and did not address anything.i felt confused and lost and had to request a second opinion.he did not address anything from Mr mri or emg results and he just sat there and stared at me not helping at all.i felt so uncomfortable. I have seen the pa Matt Finn and Dr soror who have been amazing but never do I want to see Dr jermakowitz

It was follow up from ER visit. Diagnosed with Lumber Radiculopathy. In the ER. I was discharged on steroids muscle relaxers and toradol. He said he didnt see anything on the ct from the ER other than arthritis which is normal for my age. He how I was feeling today and he said he didn’t need to see me anymore unless I had a flare up. He didnt say it was sciatica. I thought he’d schedule MRI or suggest PT. Very dissatisfied with the visit.

I couldn't believe it was completed. I didn't even fell when he started. I will tell ever one I know about what a great Dr he is.

Great conversation on my condition the opinions available.

Very nice, talks to me not at me. I found the right doctor!!

Dr.Jermakowicz was very understanding and helpful.

Always helps my back

Explained my issues very clearly

Very patient, well detailed explanation and kind.

I think Cookeville was very blessed to get Dr.Jermakowiczx I trust him he is not surgery happy but if you need surgery on your man! He’s got a great bedside manner too..

Dr. Jermakowicz explained things and went over things with my mother and I. He was friendly and actually cared about me as a patient which after other doctors I've been to was really nice. He was honest about what could and couldn't be done. Even my mother liked him and she has an enormous dislike for doctors.

Very nice and to the point. Would recommend him.

Pleasant, knowledgeable, punctual and listens before forming opinions

I visited Dr Jermakowicz today and was very pleased with how informative amd professional he was. If I could give higher than 5 stars I most definitely would.

Dr. j was very easy to talk to, understanding and also provided all the options available to me. While the information was hard to hear, it was laid out in a way I could understand my options and the best way forward.

Very professional, knowledgeable and patient. Would highly recommend him!

First visit was great. No waiting. He really understands my symptoms.

The professionalism of this doctor is beyond belief. He found my pain issue on first visit. He listens to the patient and seems to have all the time you need to converse with him.

Great Doctor feel confident he will take good care of me

Great, Knowledgeable Doctor.

Just wish I could get the shot he recommended without making a whole separate appointment! Especially when you have this nagging pain.

In my only visit so far, he was direct, thorough, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He will be doing back surgery in the near future.

I really like this man. He doesn't seem rushed and is willing to discuss situations and possible courses of action.

Great listene,great service,felt comfortable and at ease. Would highly recommend r

I have had back problems for about 5 years and this is the 3rd dr. I have seen trying to get help and relief from pain. It's was great when Dr. J walks in and knows exactly what is wrong with me just by the way I was sitting.

Talked very fast

Love my doctor

Didn’t spend much time discussing my back issue. Said he reviewed the MRI but didn’t discuss with me. Not much effort in diagnosing and treating my issues. Nice honest person though.

Dr Jermakowicz is awesome! Kind and caring!

He really ez’d my mind 🥰. Very personable and I liked how he explained things too

Awesome Dr spends time to assure what the cause is of pain and finds a remedy to help

Very, Very nice. I liked him !!!

Very straightforward and right to the point. Every doctor should be like this.

He was kind and compassionate, and stated the facts of what he could do for my pain, but was not pushy. Told me to think about it and if I wanted to do the surgery, give them a call. I was impressed.

Finally I think I might get help with my back problem because someone took real time to listen. He was very kind and I think he may have a real plan. .

Very friendly and down to earth. Extremely attentive and responsive, great manner.

Very businesslike and plain spoken. Just what I want in a doctor. He doesn’t use a lot of medical jargon. I liked him.

Has my best interest in mind

Very easy to talk to, and gave very clear answers.

Very good
