Peter J. Dirksmeier's Online Review Report Card

Knowing how precise and experience Dr. Dirksmeier is, I had complete trust in him. He is a the best Orthopedic/Spine surgeon. He is personable and completed caring of me, his patient. His team that he created is the best, also. The surgery he performed has changed my life to be fully functionable again.

Dr. Dirksmeier is an excellent surgeon. Highly recommend.

There is no one better than Dr Dirksmeir and his team.

Dr. Dirksmeier does excellent work. I had a problem that caused sciatica in my right leg and he performed a surgery on my lower back that cure it perfectly.. Great work. Has a good support staff that can be reached anytime. Would definitely go back.

Dr. Dirksmeier is a "matter-of-fact, tell it like it is" doctor. He is thorough, concise, uses modern techniques, explains what he's going to do, and is confident in his abilities. In my opinion is an excellent surgeon. I went from a year and a half of pain in both legs and limited walking, to having major surgery and can walk again without pain!!!

Dr. Dirksmeier is an excellent spine surgeon. At my first office visit, I was impressed with his confidence and no nonsense approach that he would be able to help me, and that he did. Dr. D impressed me with his knowledge of my overall health and underlying issues, he did his research. prior to first appointment and during treatment. He has a large staff at the Spine Center (Theresa, PA Doran and PA Pelletier) and they all very sharp, helpful and kind.They kept me comfortable before, during and after my stenosis/sciatica surgery. Best of all, NO Sciatica. Thanks Dr. Dirksmeier. V/r Frank B

I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience I have had being treated by Dr. Peter Dirksmeier at Seacoast Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. I had been suffering for years from severe nerve pain down my legs and across my buttocks. It was getting progressively worse and was negatively impacting my quality of life. I am in my early 60’s and enjoy golf, hiking, riding my motorcycle and boating among other activities. All were impacted by my pain. Dr. Dirksmeier, after viewing my MRI, deducted he could help me by shaving bone to free up the nerves and then using that bone to fuse three levels to support my spine (between L4 and L5 my spine shifts 1 cm left). I woke up after surgery almost pain free, BUT the only pain was from the surgical site itself. Within a week I was at a ZERO on the pain scale, and still am at that level! It is amazing. I am 2/3 of the way through my three months wearing a back brace, and my quality of life is skyrocketing. I'm walking straight again!

If you need spine surgery look no further . He is compassionate and thorough in explaining before and after the procedure . My surgery was for spinal stenosis and sciatica with great success . We have all heard of do not let anyone operate on your spine . Be rest assured you will be in great hands and have confidence after your first visit and that he is not just anyone . His staff is a great support for him and will be for you also .

Dr. Dirksmeier's surgical skills just changed my life. He performed a total left hip replacement and a spinal stimulator implant removal in the same surgery. He is attentive and skillful. I went to my follow-up visit yesterday and while I was sitting in the check-out waiting room with others the fact that I travel 2 hours one way to see him was questioned. The remark was "Wow! why do you travel so far to come HERE? Is he the best around?" Without missing a beat my response was "Yes. He is the best and every minute of my travel time is time well spent to see him." He is Dr. Tom Terrific in my book! If you're looking for a skilled and caring surgeon and are hesitant as to where to go - I just solved your problem. The answer is Dr. Peter Dirksmeier at Seacoast Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in Somersworth, NH.
