Dr. Grant Skidmore, MD

I was referred to Dr Skidmore's office when I discovered I had one disc which had already exploded in the lumbar region and a disc which was protruding and pressing against my spinal cord. I must say I have truly been blessed by the good doctor himself and his supremely professional staff. I've dealt with doctors before and the confusion which their office can often times produce. Dr Skidmore and his associates are the most professional people I have ever had a chance to work with. I say work with because he made me an integral part of all medical decisions. He was never pushy but he gave his opinion. During my two surgeries he came out personally to my wife and talked her through their success, and assuring her that I was in good hands. He always remembers our last visit and always comes in with a warm, optimistic disposition. The only downside to my inevitable healing is that there will soon come a time when I will no longer need to grace the doors of his office. Thanks, Dr Skidmore.

Excellent physician

He read my mri for my lower back. I have arthritis so he has recommended some steps so I can get better.

Went to him for years; used to be conscientious and concerned about patient. In recent times, he has become complacent, doesn't seem to be careful & concerned about patients; all he wants is the operation, then he's through with you.

3 SURGERIES NOW WITH DR. SKIDMORE. Best Dr I have had the pleasure of dealing with. Several other DR,s could not find the problem with my neck but he found it in 10 seconds. Have had 2 additional lumbar laminectomy and fusions with amazing results. Moving to Alabama soon and if I ever need neck or back surgery again I will be flying back to Va to have DR. Skidmore handle it. Thanks Dr. Skidmore, Mike and staff. Marcus Fortner

He listens. He does a detail search to get to the root of the problem. He make sure you understand what the issues and ways to cure the problem.

Love the man! I was in so much pain I could barely live my life. I tried everything, PT, pain shots in my back, etc. Dr. Skidmore saw me, ordered some test and told me my back was virtually broken. I was scared about having surgery. He reassured me and told me my back would be 100% better. Three days later I was having surgery. Now 6 months have passed and I am about 90-95% better. I can do anything. As time goes on, I know I will hit that 100% mark. Thank you to Dr. Skidmore and his OR staff.

Dr. Skidmore did a lamenectomy on my L1/S5 due to a crack, spinal stenosis, Spondylosis and Spondylolisthesis. I use to have excruciating pain all up and down the left side of my back and leg. After the surgery I do not have the pain from before but I do have numbness and tingling in my left leg. I guess this is common and will subside/go away over time. It’s only been a few days since surgery so I’m still in pain from the incision. Taking my meds and resting. Not overdoing it.

I went to Dr. Skidmore, and he made me feel comfortable about having the surgery and my surgery was a success! His staff was the best. He was a godsend, considering I was a difficult patient.

Dr. Skidmore and his entire team is one of the best. Due to a very serious accident in 1998 (I was stopped on the highway and was rear ended by a large pickup going about 50 mph) I have had to have five separate surgeries. The latest one in April 2017. All by Dr.Skidmore. everyone was a success. I strongly recommend Dr. Skidmore to anyone needing spine surgery. His team works miracles. I am so thrilled he was recommended by my family doctor after I had me accident.

I had a back injury and when it comes to neurology you need someone who is cautious and that is Dr. Skidmore. He is thorough and provides all options before recommending surgery. Ultimately I needed surgery and I feel I had the best surgeon in the business. I have recovered completely and am grateful to Dr. Skidmore.

am rating this a 1 for several reasons. First, it took them almost an hour to call me back for my appointment. The Physicians Assistant I saw told me he was going to give me better medication for my pain, however when I left I had nothing. I called 5-10 minutes later asking if my prescription was sent to my pharmacy, and the lady I spoke to said that the PA never said anything about medication. I could go on and on. WORST DOCTOR'S VISIT EVER. This place is a sideshow.

Dr. Skidmore is a very skilled surgeon and I would not trust anyone else to touch my back. My only complaint are the wait times, but it is because he does take time with his patients.
