Seemed genuinely interested in my situation.

This was my first meeting with Dr. Jermakowicz. When he entered the room he introduced himself. Very Professional, Knowledgeable, Confident, Polite. He spent time with to explain the results of my MRI. Also, he said he tries different treatments methods with his patients and avoids doing surgery if at all possible. I really like the sound of that that he wasn’t one of those doctors that jumped to do surgery. For me, he suggested doing exercises which he showed me how to do, and recommended an injection to help with the pain. He kept assuring me that it did not go into the spinal column.
I’m looking forward to going back soon for the injection to help with my discomfort in my lower back.
Even only meeting him this one time I was very impressed and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Very nice doctor, explained things very well

Discussed options and covered pros and cons of each. We agreed on a plan going forward. Dr. Jermakowicz took the time to explain all options, and included me in the decision process.
Great bedside manner even though we were in his office. He and his assistant, Mandi are both very professional, easy to talk to and I would highly recommend them.

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.
