Dr. Gail Hopkins, MD

He knew exactly what to do. I felt like He was a very highly skilled surgeon. And that this was going to be a walk in the park for the Dr. The best of the best.

I saw Dr. Hopkins in 2017 for a degenerative disc issue I had for years. When I came to him I was in pain daily and not living the life a 32-year-old young woman should, I was desperate and gave up hope that my condition would improve. I was shocked to learn that the only way my pain would resolve was with a spinal fusion of my L5-S1. Anxious and fearful, Dr. Hopkins put me at ease by assuring me he was skilled in this surgery and used the most up-to-date medical technology. I did my research and ultimately put my trust in him to give me a chance at having my life back. With a wonderful medical team, Dr. Hopkins performed my spinal fusion on May 5, 2017, and I was up and walking within hours. After the immediate healing process of about 6-8 weeks, I was pain-free and remain pain-free til this very day! Now I'm stronger and healthier than I've been in my entire life and live a very active lifestyle. I owe Dr. Hopkins a huge thanks for giving me back a part of my life back.

Very disappointing::Here I was looking for my new specialist Dr. Hopkins was in such a hurry to get rid of me even as it was my first visit and I was looking for his expertise for a full evaluation of my condition! I asked the Dr. for pain meds yes he prescribed them after I convinced him I needed them, as I got my alert on my phone it also shows I gotta pay for them!.. This is a WC case everything is covered 100%—So here’s my review/ opinion.. Maybe next time someone comes in for an evaluation, that can actually do as theyr are suppose to!

Dr Hopkins is a straight forward no BS doctor, he cares about the people he works on and is up front. A very rare find with doctors these days.

Dr Hopkins operated on my back and helped me become a real person again. Great, patient friendly surgeon that I highly recommend.

Listed to my symptoms and offered suggestions to help out.

Dr. Hopkins level of care, prior to surgery, on the day of the procedure, and throughout aftercare, was exemplary. I am grateful for the significant improvement in my condition.

Always looking out for my health takes the time to talk to me about different options

I started seeing Dr. Hopkins in early 2016. Surprising, a worker’s compensation nurse had recommended him. I couldn’t be happier with her recommendation. With my injury, I was in need of surgery which worker’s compensation didn’t want to cover. Dr Hopkins and staff did everything they could to not only fight for me but they supported me in a very trying time in my life. After my fight, He preformed my surgery and honestly can’t believe the amount of relief I felt after surgery. In the years I have seen him, he always has given me honest feedback on what is needed and is my best interest. I’m never rushed in my appointments nor have I waited long to see him. His nurse, Zadora always makes certain I have everything I need before I leave his office. Whether it be a prescription I’m in need of or a follow up appointment, she’s completely on top of it. All and all, I can’t thank them all enough for everything they have done for me. :)

Dr. Hopkins had a tele-web appointment in April with my wife and diagnosed she needed surgery urgently, he also said his staff will get a surgery date as soon as possible. Now a month later, no response from his office, I have left multiple messages to his nurse and she will not respond. Now my wife is in extreme pain and needs pain medication refilled but unable to communicate due to your office not returning calls.

Good !

First visit/consult for chronic back pain

He is the best back surgeon I have seen, and I have seen several doctors over my back. I would, and do, recommend him to everyone I know who has a spine condition that needs help.

From the time I arrived, I did not wait long, staff friendly and professional, all though because of my medical problem Dr. Hopkins was not able to do much, he was very professional and personable, I would highly recommend him, I do see another Doctor at Arrowhead, and highly recommend this group of Physicians

He really took the time to listen and in his exam, he needed more areas to make a clear plan to treat. I really feel confident. He isn't rushing and feel he really wants to help me locate the true source causing the chronic pain before treatment.

Dr Hopkins was very patient and listened to what I said. He developed a plan for determining how to handle my problem. The office staff worked hard at getting my follow up appointment as quick as possible.

Straight and to the point. Honest.

Is it went well the doctor was pleasant and helpful. For my physical therapy I requested water aerobics I Was Heard and given the water aerobics I asked for.

Very informative as a 2nd opinion. His information was well received.

I would definitely recommend Dr Hopkins to my family and friends.
