Matthew D. Ammerman's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Matt is not only an extremely tallented surgeon, he is also compasionate and caring. I was referred to Dr. Matt from a Pain Management Doctor because he could no longer help me. After several diagnostic tests it was decided that fusion was the only option. The surgery went well and Dr Matt met me in the pre-op area and made sure I had every question answered and was there when I woke up in ...

This entire office is outstanding. I saw Dr. Ammerman once and he was unable to help me, but went out of his way to find someone who could, by calling another Dr. and consulting with my Dr. at the pain clinic. He personally called me twice during the following week. The whole experience was unexpectedly caring from someone I would only see once.

Dr. Matthew Ammerman, provided an excellent surgical experience. He was clear and very candid from my first visit all the way up to the date of surgery. He answered every question, was very attentive and made me very comfortable in what was my first surgery ever. He’s personable but very professional. He also has a great staff who coordinate everything seamlessly.

Kindly,patient physician,excellent neurosurgeon. He removed a disc from my neck which was dangerously pressing on my spinal cord. Afterward my chronic neck pain was immediately relieved and remains so...and the other neurological symptoms also promptly resolved. He is truly a doctor's doctor!

Both my husband and I have seen Matt Ammerman. He resolved my terrible neck pain without surgery or shots. He is truly a wonderful doctor who I wouldn't hesitate to use should I ever need surgery. He is simply a delightful human being as well who seems to truly enjoy his interactions with his patients and is a rare combination of compassionate as well as thoughtful and knowledgeable. He even encouraged me to get a 2nd opinion as he welcomes his colleagues opinions. No ego here!

Dr. Matthew Ammerman performed a laminectomy on me several months ago. The procedure involves enlarging the spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. He did it using a minimally invasive method--with just two small incisions. The goal was to reduce pain and speed up recovery. His friendly, informal, self-confident way put me at ease. His informative and solicitous manner throughout the pre- and post-surgical consultations has been particularly appreciated. I recommend him highly.

Simply the best

When I first visited Dr Matthew Ammerman, I was in serious pain and discomfort and had taken all the pain relief injections allowed. He immediately put me at ease and explained the problem, spinal stenosis, and what could be done to correct it. Surgery was scheduled shortly thereafter and was completely successful. When I awoke from surgery, the pain had completely disappeared and has not returned. I am a new person, pain free, and comfortable at last. I am resuming normal exercise and activity, albeit carefully. I cannot complement Dr Ammerman and the Sibley staff enough and I recommend the both without reservation

Incredible skill, personality, and kindness. I found Dr. Ammermann to be an amazing doctor who was thorough, encouraging and reassuring. Very nice office staff, and very responsive to my calls and questions! I highly recommend you see Dr. Matt before you let anyone else do surgery on you!

Dr Ammerman gets right to the point in office visits. He tells you exactly what is going on with nerve pain and explains it lucidly. He does not rush you into surgery and much prefers to steer you toward non-invasive options; that is to say, he is not knife-happy. But when he does operate, he uses up-to-date approaches; he performed an XLIF on my back and I walked out of the hospital with no pain at all three days later. He visited me post op at least three times daily. I highly recommend him.
