WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY


“First and foremost, Dr. Grubb is an extremely skilled surgeon. His surgical skills did wonders for my neck…Dr. Grubb did multi-level ACDF surgery on me in late summer and I have had little to NO return of my neurological symptoms…My healing has been good, especially since I was cleared to begin physical therapy.

He truly does minimally invasive surgery and I was up and back to many routine tasks in days following the procedure. The hardware that he uses in his procedures is state of the art and speaks to his dedication to staying at the forefront of his field.

He was the only spine specialist that I saw that addressed the underlying cause of my problem (kyphosis) and stressed that until that was corrected my problems would only worsen. His choice of hardware geometry corrected that issue and the result was dramatic. I now have normal neck posture and am almost an inch taller than before surgery.

I highly recommend Dr. Grubb to anyone with a spine problem that can only be resolved surgically.”

“Dr. Grubb is absolutely amazing. When other doctors just sent me to physical therapy, without success, he was the one to find the issue. I am so happy to be back to work. He is caring and good hearted. THANK YOU DR GRUBB.”

“My husband was in so much pain. He had seen several doctors but nothing helped. Then he went to Northeast Ohio Spine Center. Dr Grubb was so easy to talk to. He showed us where the problem was, explained the x-rays and laid out his plan for treatment. The staff is also very professional and friendly.

It has been just under one year since his surgery. It was a true success. He is already back outside, working in the yard, going camping, fishing and doing all the things he loves to do. Thank you, Dr Grubb and Staff!!”
