He isn't the warmest provider but what he lacks in personality he makes up in skill. Dr. Viljoen has given me my life back. I will forever be grateful for his skills. Don't let his personality deter you from seeing him

The spinal fusion Dr. Viljoen performed to correct my curvatures due to scoliosis far surpassed my greatest expectations, especially being 60 years old. He very accurately assessed the pros and cons of surgery in my particular case. It was clear that he thoroughly understood the cause of my pain and breathing concerns. He prepared me well for what was to take place. From our first meeting, I as comfortable trusting Dr. Viljoen with this extensive procedure. His calm confidence and passion for his work is indicative of his skill and expertise. The entire medical team was skillful, efficient, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Post surgery, the severe back and leg pain from the scoliosis is gone, and the discomfort breathing due to compression on my heart and lungs is gone. The excellent care I received has allowed me to focus entirely on my recovery. I am truly grateful to Dr. Viljoen and his team!

Dr. Stephanus Viljoen has been blessed with the skills deserving the utmost respect and appreciation. His approach is compassionate, comprehensive and patient-centered. By involving his patients fully in their neurosurgical care, he provides them with the information they need to take full advantage of their treatment while being entirely engaged in the process. From the onset of my first meeting with Dr. Viljoen, it was clear he was the neurosurgeon I desired to perform my TLIF surgery. The primary reasons for selecting him were: 1) he reduced anxiety by personalizing the surgical procedure; 2) Dr. Viljoen explained the operation in understandable terms; 3) he received highest recommendations from fellow doctors and hospital administrators; and, 4) his medical team cared about their patients and ensured they received the best treatment. I will not hesitate to call upon Dr. Viljoen if future need for surgical intervention arises.

This doctor is SERIOUS, PROFESSIONAL, STRAIGHTFORWARD, and COMMITTED to each and every patient. He’s highly intelligent yet is always personable and kind when conversing with patients.

I've only seen him one time so I'm not sure if he's a good Dr or not.. First visit is my last.. Never met him before came in the room with a total bad attitude... Pretty much RUDE.. Not sure why?? May need bedside manner 101..i had great hopes since he's a OSU Dr..

Sevenyears ago performed a 17 hour surgery on my spine that improved my life tremendously. I have nothing but praise for his ability as a competent surgeon. I found nothing missing with his bedside manner. A very good surgeon & person. Wexner has the best.
