Arthur Ulm's Online Review Report Card

I have to admit that I was shocked to have gone into surgery thinking I would have a 2 level fusion, but came out with acdf 4 level. I know that I needed the surgery or he would not have fused 4 levels. I am better than I was for sure. Some others posted that you really never see him after the surgery. I have to laugh because he is the invisible man with a great disappearing act. I did see him shopping at the local grocers though. He is a very determined and motivated doctor and I do believe that his work in the operating room is most important. He does what he says and does it well. His office is always JAM Packed because he is a very busy doctor.

After seeing the NP twice, I did get an appointment to see Dr Ulm for his opinion on treatment. The NP said it would take a fusion but the Dr. made the final decision on treatment. My appointment was at 2:30, and I was there at around 2:20 or so. I checked in using the kiosk and sat down. There was no one behind the desk to greet anyone or to confirm I was checked in. The room was busy and several ...

Dr. Ulm and PA, Darice Spackman honestly saved my life. I had an extremely large brain tumor and they rushed my surgery to remove it. They were informative and spent a lot of time with my husband and I explaining the procedure and the outcomes both good and bad of it. When it came time for surgery, Darice came in to talk again at pre-registration to see if I had any questions or concerns. Much of it is a fog after pre-reg, I remember seeing them in the operating room and they kept my family up-to-date every hour during surgery, which they were extremely grateful for. I am grateful that I came out of the surgery with no side effects that required any form of Physical Therapy. I was completely blessed by this and thank God everyday for sending me to this office and having them as my Surgical Doctors. Everyone was nice from the doctors at the facility, the PA's and the office staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Ulm, PA Darice Spackman and his staff! I am completely thankful!

Dr. Ulm, Dorice, and everyone else associated with Dr Ulm were professional, kind and courteous, and I can't imagine how anyone else could have done a better job. (I had spinal fusion surgery C4, C5, C6, C7). My Cardiologist from West Tn recommended him I'm from West Tn and it's worth the drive to have Dr Ulm and his team as my Neurosurgeon!

I have had lower backpain for 4 years. I was very disappointed at my last visit with Dr Ulm. I expected EMG report on my back. They didnt test my back nerves, only my legs. The Dr asked me to show him where my pain was, then his phone rang and he excused himself. He came back and said I needed a back brace and left to have the nurse start insur. Procedure to get one. He never came back. I had some questions. I know they are busy but i sure feel gaslighted! No one will address the pain I have. One nurse said my pain didnt match her dermatone map, she is the one who decided I need an emg on my legs, not my back. Ive read many good reviews on Dr Ulm and maybe if he had stayed with me to complete my appointment I would have something great to say.

Dr Ulm saved my life. I suffered a fall at my home, experienced a traumatic brain injury and this wonderful doctor took such excellent care of me. Words could not describe the appreciation and gratitude I have for him and his entire staff. I would most certainly recommend him! Thank you so much Dr Ulm, I am forever thankful for you.

Oh my goodness…. Where to start!!! I wish I could leave zero stars... but not possible! My sister had back surgery by Dr. Ulm. After that we never saw him again even though he kept her coming back every three months for a year. The hospital, Skyline in Nashville, was horrific. I wouldn’t take my pet to that hospital. It was unfathomable how negligent they were. I contacted Dr. Ulm about the horrible treatment my sister received and he did nothing even though he sent us there! Dr. Ulm had my sister getting Cat scan X rays every three months which was extremely excessive and unnecessary knowing she had had breast cancer and she didn’t need that much radiation. After her surgery we never saw him even though we went back every few months. It was as if he was DONE with us after he did the surgery. His office failed to give us much needed information about her spine being pinched above and below the surgery place. It took a different specialist to tell us. Ulm said she’d be better in three months. A year later she’s STILL having horrific pain and walks worse now than before the surgery. I’m so disappointed in Ulm. I thought he’d have a better bed side manner and take better care of her. I had considered having him do my surgery. NOW…. AFTER SIS’S NIGHTMARE…. THERE IS NO WAY I’D TRUST HIM TO DO ANYTHING ON ME!!!! I have recently found out that a back Doctor in Louisville, Dr, Jeff Gum, comes highly recommended and I’m going to try to get in to see him. If you’re looking for a good bed side manner AFTER THE SURGERY I do NOT recommend Dr. Ulm. He never saw us after sis’s surgery even though HE KNEW she was having so much trouble. I just have no more confidence in him to do what’s best for the patient. He seems more interested in doing what’s best for his wallet!

Cannot say better things about Dr Ulm and his staff. They always listened to everything I said even though I know I talked their heads off at every appointment. I trust them with my health and I am where I am today because they're the best. Thank you.
