Dr. Walter Jermakowicz, M.D. is a general neurosurgeon with special interests in the treatment of spine, pain, and movement disorders. He is pleased to be relocating to the Upper Cumberland area and providing care to the communities of Cookeville and Crossville, Tennessee, at Tier 1 Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Institute.
Dr. Jermakowicz received his medical degree, as well as a doctor of philosophy in neuroscience, from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 2012. He completed his residency in neurological surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital/University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, the largest academic spine practice in North America.
He also completed a fellowship in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. During his fellowship, he worked as attending neurosurgeon at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, focusing on treating disorders of the spine in veterans.
Dr. Jermakowicz is trained in both open and minimally invasive spine surgery, and his focus in functional neurosurgery allows him to offer novel treatments for back pain not in the repertoire of a typical spine surgeon, including spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal drug delivery pumps.
His pain practice includes the treatment of trigeminal and occipital neuralgias, and his movement disorders practice entails deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia.
Dr. Jermakowicz’s ongoing research interests include the use of brain stem DBS for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury.

I arrived with hopes and left with relief. Dr Jermakowicz gave me positive feedback on what my condition needed.
He is very caring
He truly cares about his patients along with his nurse Mandy Thay are the best
Great doctor
Such a nice well mannered doctor that knows what he's doing and takes good care of his patients. I wouldn't go anywhere else but to him for my orthopedic neurology surgery needs.
Showed me the MRI took time to explain my problem.
Actually sat and listened and explained in detail what was going on
Dr. Jermakowicz is the only doctor who has helped me with my back pain in the 17 years of my back injury and pain. I appreciate the expertise and knowledge that he has.
He is a very good doctor and good at explaining things to people. I would recommend him to anyone .
I was thrilled to get to see Dr. Jermakowitz, as I was expecting to see some one else; but he had a cancellation & Mandy stuck me in. He had done two of my surgeries & I had huge success, I respect his advice & judgment. Made my day!
