David Paulson's Online Review Report Card

Very informative, great bedside manner and his staff is beyond fabulous. Thank you for all you do for me and your patients. I highly recommend.

After 15 orthopedic surgeries although medically I’m no expert as a patient I am. I was told by another spine doctor that I needed an extensive surgery and it needed to be done ASAP. I didn’t feel comfortable with the lack of communication between the previous doctor and myself. He did a five minute overview of what he was going to do and told me to go get it scheduled with the scheduler. After several conversations I was referred to Dr. Paulson, my appointment was this morning. I have never had an experience like I had today. Dr. Paulson went over my imaging with me he drew diagrams and explained them in detail of what he believed needed to be done. He also said it was not emergent and did not have to be done ASAP. He ordered some additional imaging, I have another appt with him in a month. I can’t remember the last time I had a doctor have so much care and concern for his patients and that they understand fully what the plan is. I highly recommend Dr. David Paulson he’s amazing!

Dr Paulson is best doctor I’ve seen in years! When I first saw him a month ago I wasn’t able to walk without horrific pain. He did surgery 2 weeks ago on my back & now I’m able to without ANY pain! I feel so free! I can oversee my grandchildren & walk my dog! Dr. Paulson is very professional and explains everything! I would recommend him to everyone!

Dr. Paulson has been generous with his time and patience. I saw Dr. Paulson several times before my first fusion. So there would be minimal intrinsic doubt, I followed up with a second opinion at OPA. The ideas were similar, but went with Dr. Paulson. Long story short, the first L4/5 was great, but was not enough. I respect that he was conservative with the first surgery per my request. Now I am looking at a more invasive surgery and am certain that Dr. Paulson is the best choice. His credentials are stellar, he does not have a cut and dry approach, but designed surgeries in the way an engineer does. Creative, open minded, but will put his foot down too. Best of luck to all who are facing surgery in any aspect

He was very thorough in explaining what was going on in my aged mothers back and although surgery could help, he did not recommend it at her age if the symptoms were bearable for her. He showed us the pins and screws that would be used to highlight how major this surgery would be.

Dr. Paulson treated me with a neck fusion and left me with damage to my arm and trouble swallowing after my surgery. He said I needed a fusion but after I got a second opinion I was told the surgery was not even needed. He made it seem like the surgery was an emergency. He seemed nice at first but when was very rude to me and my wife when I asked my I couldn't move my arm after surgery and made it impossible to follow up with him. I think he has been avoiding us. Overall I really regret seeing him.

I had a cervical spine fusion. I regained the use of my arms. Very happy with the outcome.
