Dr. Christopher Demers, MD

I admire Dr Demers for his professional excellence and, to his credit, hind sight sharpens my perspective. He did not interpret the extent of my emotional disorder in that I am inclined to depression and anxiety. My response may have been atypical. While Dr Demers was indeed honest, he did not seem to be sensitive to my panic which was genuinely indicated. My obsessive research did not guide me toward a decision. I finally made one based on a last minute 2nd opinion that had the benefit of 2 months of speculation to support it. In the end, the surgery went as he had predicted and the outcome of a 3 level ACDF was excellent from day one to day eight at present. None of my fears were manifested and I anticipate my recovery to be excellent. I share this with future patients faced with similar conditions and I declare my experience to be insurmountable from both perspectives. Dr Demers is highly deserving of his excellent reputation and worthy of your trust.

Dr. Demers did surgery on my spine to relieve back and leg pain in both legs. Woke up after surgery with all pain gone. He is a friendly people person. This was the 3rd back surgery I had over the span of my life and glad to say they were are successful. Should I encounter problems with my back in the future I will not have to search out a good neurosurgeon.

I visited Demers for the first time about 1.5 years ago with low back pain. He was very dismissive and said it will probably go away and sent me off to physical therapy. Now, 1.5 years later I still have the back pain (have seen multiple people) and decided to see Demers again. He was dismissive again and told me "it's something you'll just have to live with" and continued to be arrogant and talked down to me. I would not recommend seeing him. Jen was great, she was compassionate and actually cared about my pain. Demers was not. Do not see him.

Dr Demers did my surgery. He was so nice, so attentive, so caring. His nurse practitioners are brilliant and nice as well. The office calls me back within a few hours, not a couple days. The wait times are expected. They have in-house imaging which is convenient for anything concerning.

Before submitting to surgery, find out if there are other options such as "wait and see if it gets better on its own" Get a second opinion as some surgeons are quicker to "cut" than are others. Ask your family doctor for an opinion.

Dr Demers is an EXCEPTIONAL Physician/Surgeon! He is not only extremely thorough and knowledgable, but is kind, caring and always puts his patients first and foremost!

Dr Demers is an exceptional physician who treated me very well and communicated very well throughout the entire process of my procedure!

Dr. Demers is so kind, caring, patient, compassionate and knowledgeable!!!! I am grateful to have him as my surgeon!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Demers. After 4 years of lower back pain that limited my activities and travel plans, I was introduced to Dr. Demers. He performed an easy out-patient procedure that totally relieved my back pain. I am so thankful and back to a pain free life!!

The absolute best physician I have ever had, bar none! Empathetic, carrying and informative, he is truly a joy as is Jen and the rest of his staff. I come all the way from Maui for his expertise! I only wish he could be my GP as well as surgeon!

Super responsive and informative!

Dr. Demers and his staff are wonderful, caring people. He is very knowledgeable and skilled, and explains everything openly and honestly in a comprehensive and understanding way, so that you can make an informed decision regarding your health care. I highly recommend him for all your neurosurgery needs

Dr Demers is always concerned, explains condition so I understand and never keeps you waiting. I would recommend Dr Demers and Wren and Jennifer his PA's to everyone.

Did back fusion. Had excellent outcome - pain free! His team makes the process go smoothly. Everyone cares.

Good listener. Informal and good explainer.

Came highly recommended. Extremely pleasant, thorough examination, explained everything in detail, feel very confident in his expertise.

Suffered 10 months with a herniated disc. Dr. Demers operated and the next day I could walk pain free. Wish I would have had it done sooner.

He listens and is very respectful. These are traits I value. He is extremely knowledgeable and his advice is always solid. He shares alternatives for treatment and surgery isn’t necessarily the first one. I really appreciate his care.

Could not be happier with the care I received from Dr. Demers and his staff. I’m a nurse and know what to look for and this group is the real deal. As it should be.

Highly recommend isn't enough! This man is the most caring, kind, respectful surgeon we have ever had, And we have had a lot of surgeons. He added the personal touch to a traumatic brain situation and treated us like his own family. Five stars is not enough. He and his team are incredible. Honestly, we could not have been more blessed to have had him in our corner. There really are just not enough words to thank him for his care. I believe he knows how much we appreciate him. Our family forever
