The reviews listed below were collected independently of Tier 1 Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.

Dr. Jermakowicz saved my life in December of last year. I ended up in the ER with a horrible abscess from an epidural steroid injection. It ended up,I was septic with an infection in parts going all through my spine. He got to the hospital very fast to do surgery on me because I started to lose function of my arm. I am still recovering, but thanks to him I am a lot better than I could’ve ended up. I am able to use both arms and legs. I will forever be grateful for him. I’m still recovering, but I know how much better shape I am because of him.

Dr. Jermakowicz spent probably 5 minutes talking with me after I waited ~40-45 minutes. I did not mind waiting, but it was apparent almost immediately that he did not have the time to speak with me and was very dismissive. He asked where my pain was, but never asked how severe, what activities made it better or worse, how it impacts my life, etc. as other doctors have done as part of their assessments. I expressed a couple concerns that my other physicians have raised about my issue, and he immediately dismissed them off-hand and made it seem as though I was wasting his time by being “evaluated” by him. I do not feel I received a thorough exam. If I ever need orthopedic care I will not return to Tier 1.

He’s honest, blunt, and tells you how it is. Not in an arrogant way, just in a friend talking to a friend kinda way. He’s not full of himself either, if there’s a surgery he can’t do he’ll flat out tell you. I’ve had A LOT of surgery’s from my injuries. Trust me, that’s the type of surgeon you want to have in control. Thanks so much Doc.

He did not rush and even took a couple of minutes to very briefly tell me about himself, at my request. Not a chit-chat guy. I did leave with questions still popping into my head. I’ll admit, my thoughts can be a bit disorganized so that’s probably my fault for not having them ready when I got there. I really don’t understand much about how doctors and insurance work so didn’t know what to ask.

Very professional and spent time explaining procedures to me. I appreciate the time spent with me. Thank you.
