Ive given this much thought, almost 3 years to be exact, before i decided to leave a review. Ill be succinct: Dr Poulos was monsterous and caused permanent nerve damage, failed fusion, and capped off that outstanding lack of skill with the utmost in arrogance that shocked not only myself but those who witnessed it. I pray he does not touch another human. My life has been forever changed. He categorically and undeniably failed at his job, not my opinion, medical fact; proven by the debilitating nerve damage as well as other doctors evaluation of latest xrays. More to come as i feel comfortable releasing it. I just want others to DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE, dont act like i did and take the first dr with an opening. Trust me, youll do ANYTHING when you go from career in full swing, shredded physique, daily excercise, happiness in general, to suddenly getting out of a car at work and bam, you suddenly cannot walk. Maybe he cared for patients in his career, at some point, but as of 10/16/18 he had lost any compassion for this patient and like so many others he was simply a man that would not retire, despite his failures and ineptitude at his profession, he chugged along; going through the motions, if you will. When a person loses passion in their career, no matter which career, they do bad work. Period. My pain and suffering is on your hands, Nicholas. Please retire. Money isnt what you need more of, you need to simply do no harm. I believe that may be part of an oath you took many, many, many years ago.................but im just another guy. A nobody whose spine you destroyed. A statistic. A number. I harbor no hatred but i must issue this warning to other men in their 30s(or anyone) who might find this and can relate and at least look elsewhere. Its my duty as a human being to warn others and share what i experienced with Nicholas Poulos.

Dr Poulos is an outstanding, friendly, and dedicated doctor. My wife has been treated by Dr Poulos for many years and we have always had a fabulous experience with him and his associates. We would recommend him to anyone in need of a neurosurgeon. Hes simply the best.

Dr Poulos, Joe Scott, and their staff gave me my life back. I had cervical fushion surgery that resulted in no pain!!!! I am back to my life and I owe it all to them. They were wonderful from start to finish and I would recommend them to everyone that needs help.

Dr. Poulos,did back surgery on my husband and done a wonderful job. I would go to him myself if I had to have surgery, Dr. Poulos is a Dr that says what he means,and means what he says as for as before and after surgery, if you dont do what he says is best for you, then dont blame him for not healing right. His whole team that works with him including office workers are all wonderful people.

Dr. Poulos did a spectacular job on my mothers back surgery. Hes also a nice guy--not that that matters as technical excellence is all one cares about in a surgeon--but its a nice bonus.

Belittling my doctor referral no way reads test mri results because i hav 20 mm tarlov CYSTS affecting inconsistance. He ask do U even know Y. U .R here? He does surgery not dr. Visits. Told nurse that i was to follow up but not with him

Great guy and MD all doctors could take a lesson from bedside manner from Dr. Poulos

Great neurosurgeon
