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.

L5, L1 surgery
So after experiencing a herniated disc that caused horrible back, leg and sciatica pain along with leg and foot numbness I was referred to Dr. Du. By my PMP. Dr. Du realized that after trying all non invasive for 8 months my condition was a candidate for surgical intervention. It was proposed that surgery to clip off the disc extrusion would provide some if not all of my condition. He was very clear about the pros and cons of the proposed surgery and the risks involved. After 30 minutes spent discussing all aspects of the surgery I decided to indeed go that route. After pre op verbal and physical fitness exams were performed I had the surgery done Dr. Du. Within 4 weeks post op I no longer experienced back and leg pain as well as having full reduction in leg and foot numbness. In addition the drop foot I had was gone after 3 months. All in all my experience with Dr. Du was very good. Very good at explaining procedures and very good at obtaining most all good results

Poor bedside manner
I received a call back after I requested additional information regarding my situation. Jerry spent a little more time on the phone with me (possibly) than the norm. He got frustrated with me and mentioned he called me back when instead, he could be home with his family. He may be a doctor, but it doesn’t give him the right to treat others with less consideration. I raised three children as a single parent with a very demanding career and many times I missed opportunities with my family. I was absolutely speechless with this comment. Very hurtful and unprofessional.

Impatient, unhelpful, and rushed
My appt which was supposed to 45 minutes was only 15. He was impatient with his questions and I don't feel he ordered the correct diagnostic test. When enquiring about my next steps, he just shrugged and said he didn't know. Seriously? Then refer me to someone who can help.

highly recommend Dr Du
I recently had a disc replacement surgery performed by Dr. Jerry Du, and I can't speak highly enough of my experience. From the moment I first met Dr. Du, I felt like I was in great hands. My appointments were always on time, and Dr. Du was incredibly attentive. I never once felt rushed during our conversations. He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, along with the various treatment options available. What impressed me most was how he carefully outlined the positives and negatives of each option, ensuring I felt confident in my decision.Dr. Du's bedside manner is outstanding. He genuinely took the time to get to know me as a person and understand what was most important to me in my recovery. I truly felt like he cared about my well-being both during and after the procedure.Overall, my experience with Dr. Du was fantastic, and I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with spinal or nerve issues. If you're looking for a skilled, compassionate, and patient-focused

I first saw another spine surgeon at another location, but didn't feel we hit it off well. I decided at that appointment I would not return.I was seeking a second opinion and Dr. Jerry Du was highly recommended to me. During our initial appointment, Dr. Du made me feel like I was his only patient. He took his time explaining what was going on in my neck, showing me the imaging, discussing my options moving forward, and patiently fielding my numerous questions. His enthusiasm for his specialty is palpable and his interpersonal skills very much appreciated. The same attention paid me during that first appointment has been replicated throughout my surgery and post-surgery experience.His clinic runs well and the staff is consistently pleasant and on top of things.

Very impressed with Dr. Du. Great follow-through and keeping us up-to-date on expected procedures. Wish he was a Gereral Practioner so we could choose him as our regular PCP...Even if we had to change insurance providers.
