Robert T. Getter's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Getter operated on my back and I am feeling so much better..He is a a true professional and very approachable physician who explained what to expect after the surgery and he is very caring.So happy I had this surgery done.

A couple years ago I was having severe lower back and leg pain. I tried physical therapy and steroid injections nothing worked long term. I went to Dr. Getter desperate to relieve the pain I was experiencing. He explained everything, told me the risks and benefits and what I could expect for a recovery period. Its been three years and my lower back is amazing. Recently I began experiencing pain in my neck and numbness in my arms and fingers. I went back to Dr. Getter and he did surgery to correct the problem. Within two days of surgery all numbness is gone from my arms and fingers. I have had little to no post op pain. I also have to say how amazing is staff is. Always friendly, always ready to help and answer questions. Highly recommend this Doctor and his staff for spine care needs

Dr. Getter is the BEST surgeon in his field period. His staff, Stephanie, Steve, nurse, AS PROFESSIONAL as they come. Doc Getter has worked on my spine several times with unbelievable results. I love them all. Thank you

Dr. Getter is the man!! If I could give him and his staff 10 stars I would. And I know of what I speak as Dr. Getter did ACDF (cervical discectomy and fusion) in Oct. 2021 and L4/5 lumbar laminectomy (decompression) surgery for me last week (Feb.3, 2023) and I could not be happier. His staff is awesome, friendly, compassionate and caring while Dr. Getter is all of that and more being highly experienced, talented, personable (actually has a great sense of humor) and is great at making his patients feel at ease and alleviating any fears they may have. If there is a spine surgeon hall of fame I hereby nominate Dr. Getter for induction.

Couldn’t stand straight for 3 years. Day after surgery, standing straight again. Physical therapist came to house next day, couldn’t believe I was out of bed after such a surgery like this. 1 year later lifting weights and walking 3 miles a day.

My first appointment with him today and my last. He seemed rushed, condescending, and went straight to treatment options before really getting to the full scope of my medical history. For those saying he had great bedside manner, consider yourself lucky. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

So glad that Dr. Getter took care of me! I have seen others for my back, but they just wanted to do injections and kill the nerves to stop the pain. Dr. Getter took this seriously from day 1 and said he could fix this with surgery. And proud to say he did exactly that. His staff are outstanding and go to great lengths to help you. Many thanks to Dr. Getter and his staff!

I am a very active person and physically fit. I had severe stenosis....I tried everything....Injections,RFA,PT,chiropractor,pain meds etc. I in no way wanted surgery on my back!! I was referred to Dr. Getter. He read my MRI and told me what was wrong(a few things) and that he could fix my issues. He didn’t sugar coat what I would go through for several weeks after the procedure quote: you will feel like you’ve been hit by a truck and now you are recovering. He was right! Now 6 1/2 weeks post surgery (laminectomy L1-4 Discectomy l1 and2). I have worked my way up to walking 4 miles a day and PT and doing as I was instructed, even when it hurt. My sciatica pain is now non existent. In fact right after surgery that was gone . Also some other lower back pain I had is far less than it was. I’m glad I had the surgery. Dr. Getter came highly recommended. I am very satisfied with His work. I find him very dedicated to his profession.
