Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr G is the BEST!!!!
After being in a major car accident Dr. G was compassionate and thorough in his quest to treat me and get me out of pain. He worked carefully with the suurgeon to determine the best course of action. I cried many times in his office from the stress of everything and he was kind, caring and everything a doctor should be.

Had a bad experience
Had a caudal epidural injection with not relief in L5 S1 under general anesthesia on 2021. Left more scar tissue in area. Find a bilateral sacroilitis after the procedure with a manual check up. The previous doctor I saw there Carlson didn't find it either. I still in a wheelchair.

Dr. Germanovich is the best at what he does in his field! He has saved my back and sciatica from excruciating pain. He is thorough and takes his time to explain things/problems and provides solutions to the issue. Dr. G is my hero and has made my life better without pain and discomfort. I am grateful and relieved that he took care of my back/pain/sciatica problems. Kennia Torres~

Avoid Germanovich like the plague
Andrew Germanovich of Restore Orthopedics is a sham.His misplacement of the needle during a cervical epidural was so far off that some doctors consulted think his intention was deliberate and that he should not be practicing medicine.After 2 needle attempts he still got it wrong, using the wrong amount of the wrong steroid in the wrong place, damaging my husband’s spine irreparably.The spinal cord injury he inflicted created excruciating suicidal pain to him for over two years, nine months. No doctor so far has been able to undo this damage or even reduce the pain.It is still unbearable, ongoing and very difficult for me to watch.His vision is fading. He cannot support his neck, his muscles have atrophied, feels raindrops on his skin when it’s sunny outside and more.Germanovich refuses to take responsibility for his actions and lies to cover them up.He allows himself to be bullied by other doctors. Then if things go wrong he simply changes reports and denies wrongdoing.

My mother in law had a Kyphoplasty performed by another surgeon and was in extreme pain after the surgery. She was put on high doses of pain meds to dull the pain but due to the pain she ended up causing additional issues to her spine. She was diagnosed as needing additional Kyphoplasties to 2 vertebrae and because she was fearful of returning to the former surgeon, I sought out Restore Orthopedics. The office recommended Dr. Germanovich due to his specialities and we were able to get in right away to see him and he scheduled the surgeries around Christmas. He gave great confidence and promised our mother that there would be no pain. There was NO PAIN after the surgeries, in fact she was able to come off all pain meds. We are so grateful to Dr. Germanovich and we are huge fans!!! He is expert in his field!

I am so grateful to have him as my pain doctor! He is even better than my primary care doctor through my insurance!! If you are Workers Comp patient you need him!

I've been seeing Dr. Germanovich for almost a year now. He has been excellent in dealing with my occipital neuralgia and migraines. I can say with confidence that Dr. G has saved my life. Before becoming his patient I was in so much daily pain that I was essentially bedridden. No other doctor was able to diagnose me properly and treat my conditions. I very much value the fact that Dr. G uses a holistic approach to treatment and doesn't just throw pills at you or rush to surgery.
