David Poulad's Online Review Report Card

Upon meeting Dr. Poulad for the first time, I liked him immediately. He explained to me and illustrated exactly what was going on with my back. I had been to numerous doctors in the past. Although I had an MRI, nobody ever asked me to get a CT scan and an X-ray as well except Dr. Poulad. I was very impressed by that. I definitely need surgery and I feel fully confident in Dr. Poulad’s ability to do a great job and, therefore, help me to walk again like I use to.

Dr. Poulad is the BEST! I recently had neck surgery and was fortunate to find a Doctor with his expertise. I had been suffering with pain, neuropathy and nerve damage for a few years. Dr Poulad took the time to review my Cat scan and discuss all possible outcomes from neck surgery. He saved me from being paralyzed for the rest of my life. Dr. Poulad is my HERO! I highly recommend IGEA to anyone looking for an excellent neurologist and professional, efficient staff. Kristen A.

I saw Dr Poulad in late 2020 about back pain due to (ddd) degenerative disc disease at L5 S1 in my spine. He was very rude and pushy. Recommended surgery, a fusion at that. I said no thanks, at the end of it all. I saw a wonderful surgeon at NYU in Ny, ny in 2021 for a artificial disc replacement and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I would not recommend Dr Poulad.

Dr Poulad performed surgery on my lumbar spine on December 7, 2021, to address injuries I suffered from a fall some 21 years ago. The results were outstanding. My severe pain and partial paralysis wre eliminated and by health/quality of life restored. Additionally, Dr. Poulad's medical staff were very professional and efficient with the management of my pre- and post-op medical care, and the IGEA office personnel have been most supportive.

After weeks of severe back and leg pain (Numbness / burning) I went to see Dr Poulad for options other than those provided by my pain management dr which were not working. Dr Poulad explained clearly why I was in pain and a procedure that could be performed ASAP. He and his team provided great care during the pre-op and surgery. I was immediately able to walk with minimal pain after the surgery (microdiscectomy). His office staff is caring & punctual and he has shown geniune concern on my progress post op. Thank you Dr. Poulad!

Dr. Poulad listened to me. He never rushed me. Explained everything I needed to know/expect. After surgery I'm on my way to being the old me, pain free! He is amazing! His staff is pleasant, professional, compassionate and diligent.

Had a terrible experience with David Poulad, I'm not using the term doctor because every question I asked him he did not know. He walked into the room and was ready to walk out no sooner he walked in. Did not examine my mother, did not ask if we had any questions. I had to say hey I have some questions, all 3 questions were an "I don't know" No interest in my mom as a patient at all, literally acted as if his time was too important. Shame on you David Poulad! You are a "Doctor" and in the profession of helping people. God forbid one of your loved ones seeks help one day and they are treated the way you treated my mom, only then will you realize the pain you leave among others. You are NOT GOD you are a "Doctor" and a dime a dozen mister!! Stay humble! SHAME ON YOU!!!!

I have been a patient of Dr Poulad’s for over 20 years. I had a coflex implanted rather then a fusion and I am feeling so much better. His office personnel are kind and responsive. This year has been so crazy but I always knew if I needed him he was there virtually or in person. I can rely on their support of my decisions. He works with me and his PA’s have also been reliable and their follow up is great. I recommend Dr Poulad if anyone ever has a brain or spinal issue.
