Dr. Daniel Tomes, MD

Dr. Tomes is absolutely wonderful!! He is very caring, listens very well and is very honest. He explained every thing to me about upcoming surgery and was honest and open about complications that could occur. I would highly recommend him to anyone who suffers from back pain!!

Dr. Tomes provided care for me after a serious neck fracture accident. The level of communication provided was outstanding, the care plan was aggressive and intended to avoid surgery with the best possible outcome. Dr. Tomes explained the situation very well and in detail using images, provided excellent tips for optimal healing and functional restoration and strongly advocated for caution in certain areas for which I am very thankful. The Nebraska Neurosurgery Group office and staff were also very helpful, working seamlessly with local imaging facilities and making it easy to manage some complex requirements. I am very happy with and appreciative of the care I received from Dr. Tomes and feel that my outcome and prognosis is excellent at this time.

worked a miracle on me with short recovery time !

Horrible person that doesn't care to listen. Speaks down towards you if you even try to say something. Don't waste your time.

I will start this off by saying I almost never take the time to leave reviews, but I was so upset and disappointed in the lack of bedside manners and the way I was treated that I want to share my experience. I had an appointment with Dr. Tomes in early November. I left my appointment feeling completely minimalized- I was treated as if I was exaggerating my pain, & as if there was no reason for me to have an appointment there. He rushed through my appointment and sent me on my way with a recommendation to see a physical therapist. I did go to a physical therapist (who said he could not fix my problem based on how my disc was sitting)aanotherNeurosurgeon for a second opinion. The second Neurosurgeon did updated images, and I was scheduled for surgery on December 3rd for an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Following surgery I have now recovered and have NO pain. I would not recommend Dr. Tomes unless you are looking to be shut down, rushed, and not listened to.

Dr Tomes recently did my back surgery. Prior to surgery, he seemed encouraging. Immediately after surgery- I couldn’t get ahold of him to ask questions, his office was not helpful with questions, and each visit post op was less than 5 minutes. It is hard- he did I’m sure a fine job on the surgery in general- but the after care is VERY important with healing- and he has been anything but helpful. In fact, he has seemed annoyed with each and every question. I would not recommend him.

Very unfeeling, rush you through your appointment. Made me feel like a drug addict. Didn’t really care to hear my input. Would not recommend!!!

This man has Horrible people skills. Without meeting me he decided I was surgery/drug seeker. I came to him at my Drs suggestion with a open mind. I hoped he could figure out what was causing my long term chronic pain and have some answers on how to deal with it. I have never been treated with such disrespect. Too bad he didn’t live up to my preconceived opinion of him. I thought I was going to be dealing with a caring professional. Sadly that was not the case. Do your research before your visit

Thank You Dr. Tomes. I was very fortunate to have an appointment with him and it was in less than 3 weeks. He was extremely knowledgeable and asked me many more necessary questions that the first neurosurgeon , that did not take the time. He listened to what I had to say and gave me a much better picture of my health situation. Thanks, Again!!!!

My first experience was very good. I found Dr. Tomes to be caring and realistic about my treatment options. However, in trying to return for a follow-up visit to discuss further options when my condition did not improve, my appointment was canceled three times. The second time, I left a message asking about pain control options, and it was never returned, I'm sure I would have continued to have confidence in Dr. Tomes if I could have gotten in, but I couldn't risk further delaying treatment.

Was more interested in letting me know he was a surgeon 5 or 6 times, than any problems I was having.

We left Dr. Tomes office with the impression that he is arrogant and pretentious. We felt like he dismissed my husbands claims of being in pain. Our primary care doctor gave him a more thorough exam than Dr. Tomes did. When he did finally relent and let my husband have a test done, we did not hear back from him We had to call 2 weeks later to get the results. Go somewhere else, there are more genuine doctors out there!

Dr. Tomes is one of the most caring doctors I have ever been to. I was having bad back pain and he listened to all my concerns and gave me the treatment I needed. My back feels great and I can function without pain for the first time in years. Thank you, Dr. Tomes!!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr Tomes. He helped me at a really trying time. I was having excruciating back pain that came out of nowhere. Saw my family doc who referred me to Dr Tomes. I thought I would have to wait weeks to get in, but she got me in that same week. He was pleasant, explained everything so I could understand it. After my surgery I felt so much better, which only took about a week to get scheduled! Loved his office staff too. I would recommend him to my family!

I saw Dr Tomes for my back herniation. I was really impressed with him and his office staff. They were so friendly from the moment I walked in to scheduling my surgery. He did a great job with my surgery and the after care! I would highly recommend him to any of my friends and family!

This was the worst Dr I have ever been to all he did was put me down and said he couldn't help me in any way shape or form thought I was a drug addict and I'm not at all didn't even ask me how many pills I was taking. I would not ever recommend this so called Dr to anyone. A terrible person.

Dr. Tomes listened throughly, He asked detailed questions and was concerned about conditions. He was very friendly and easy to tap to and didn't talk down to me. He did a very thorough examination. He discussed all my symptoms past and present and presented me with options. The care I needed ended up different than services he provides however he did provide me with options had his office immediately set up a referral appointment. Would highly recommend.

Dr. Tomes appeared to be very knowledgable about my condition. He reviewed options with me, but didn't try to talk me into having surgery. I had a herniated disk. I choose to go with surgery, as I had already tried physical therapy, chiropractor, and streroids. I had surgery yesterday, and received immediate relief from my disk issue.

Why take this survey, I want to know if the patient lived or died, if the surgery was successful or not. Healed or parallelized, where are those questions? This is a spine surgeon!
