A

As I have marked everyone was polite and caring. The doctor saw us shortly after we were ushered into a room. We felt that he knew our problem and was willing to listen to our concerns and give us a path forward.

Felt confident in his opinion because he presented himself well and knew what he was talking about.

12/30/2022

I would have liked more time with the doctor but it was sufficient and my questions after the visit were answered very well, so I am confident if I have more questions, that will be ok.

12/18/2022

He gave off the impression that I was wasting his time. Could care less of what I said and even asked me why I was there. He based his opinions on a report and not the actual data.

Dr. Gieger showed tremendous understanding for me.

Very pleased - he was personable and easy to talk to.

07/16/2022

How to clarify the physical problem and the need for a surgical solution.

07/14/2022

I was shocked that when my surgery was the 23rd of July my post op appointment was not until August 3.

07/01/2022

I explained how severe my pain was & they got me in in 3 days.

06/25/2022

Very good, informative.

06/22/2022

Was very pleased with *Dr. Geiger's explanation of my back issues. Made suggestion for taking care of problem.

06/17/2022

Michigan Brain & Spine has exceptional Doctors (Dr. Geiger) & staff and I would recommend this office to anyone. However, due to previous operations there doesn't seem to be any relief for the back pain that I've suffered with for over 20 years. Dr. Geiger has said that he will confer with his colleagues to see if there is any way possible to relieve my pain.

05/23/2022

I asked for the referral to address spinal issues and possible treatment as the HFA pain clinic has reached the end of their options I was given information on my spine that is already well known - he didn't even really look or touch my back.

05/20/2022

My experience was very positive, great dr., great staff. I was treated very good.

04/13/2022

I talked to *Terri, she told me I needed to have x-rays done. This was on Monday. She said she would have the orders called in. So I went up the next night and they did not have the orders so it was a wasted trip costing 8.50 in gas.

04/12/2022

Excellent bedside manner, concerned, listens well

04/11/2022

It was good.

04/11/2022

It was good!! Liked *Dr. Geiger & his help.

04/11/2022

Very personable, full of information, pleasant to speak with.

04/06/2022

Dr. Geiger was referred to me by Dr. Alan Snider to get a second opinion concerning back surgery.

04/01/2022

Very good

02/25/2022

This was a final post-op appointment for back surgery [....] - Very satisfied with results care received during the last 6 months.

02/24/2022

This was a follow up visit for back surgery performed by *Dr. Geiger [....]at Chelsea Hospital. Hospital stay went well, all staff caring and professional.

02/11/2022

Very caring and compassionate dr. & staff.

Good, informative visit!

12/27/2021

First time visit went very well.

12/15/2021

Very caring and understanding of my problem.

11/30/2021

I can't say enough good things. Dr. Geiger and staff are the best!

11/25/2021

Very thorough and concerned

11/24/2021

I felt very comfortable and I felt like I was beening talked too and not at

11/23/2021

He is the BEST!

11/23/2021

This was my second post op visit -

11/17/2021

Back hip/leg pain. He talked about surgery, but I'm not ready for that. Trying all other options first.

11/16/2021

The staff were very welcoming, prompt, and friendly.

10/22/2021

He explained everything I needed to know about my X-ray & what had to be done.

10/10/2021

Excellent like I expected

10/03/2021

The only thing I thought office personnel could have done differently is to call me about the one hour delay, rather than wait to tell me when I arrived. On the other hand, perhaps office was just informed themselves.

09/29/2021

My visit was a good experience, just not the outcome I was hoping for.

09/28/2021

I had emergency back surgery last Thanksgiving - subsequent follow-up visits were routine & excellent. The... to the surgery was more problematic. ) I couldn't get key tests till I met with Dr. Geiger, who asked me for the results of the tests & was obviously frustrated by his staff's refusal to the texts in advance. He also had case that we could have moved toward surgery a bit more rapidly - as it was, I endured considerable pain - briefly, the worst of my life. These, however, are secondary issues. I want to emphasize that when Dr. Geiger grasped the severity of the situation, he immediately got me admitted to the hospital & scheduled for the next open surgical slot. Care in the hospital before & after surgery was excellent. Most important, as with the microdiscectomy Dr. Geiger performed 3 years ago, the spinal fusion surgery this time was the right call and as in the earlier case, the results have been outstanding. I'm very pleased & grateful. So, of course I would recommend Dr. Geiger to anyone in a similar situation - and indeed have done so! Can only hope I do my job as well as he does his - [ . . . ]

09/24/2021

He confirm and explained my problem well.

09/24/2021

Dr. Geiger was very understanding of the reason I was being seen. This was first visit to Dr. Geiger.

09/23/2021

The provider was very caring and knowledgeable about my illness. Like him very much.

09/21/2021

I am looking for an answer of what is causing my pain & so far have not received an answer.

09/15/2021

I would trust Dr. Geiger. He is extremely competent and kind.

09/14/2021

Dr. Geiger was a wonderful first experience with a potential surgeon for a problem I have been having with my neck. He was not hurried, was very easy to speak with, listened to anything I had to add to the conversation and was very thorough in his exam and explanations.

08/31/2021

I'm sure I am asking too much, but it would be nice if 1)The staff said hello or good day and asked your name 2) Introduced themselves to you This was the first time I was asked if I would like to pay my copay before seeing the doctor?Waited in the exam room for 20 minutes after my scheduled appointment and after being asked to be there early. (patients time is also important!) I almost left, but since it took over a month to get the appointment I waited.

08/31/2021

Dr Geiger is an outstanding surgeon and I respect and trust his abilities and recommendations

08/24/2021

No thank you very unhappy will never come back!

08/12/2021

Excellent care.. Was always called back when I had post-op questions. Had a good relationship with Danielle - PA. She helped a lot with my pain questions.

08/07/2021

He was very informative with the type of procedure he was going to be doing

07/27/2021

He spent approximately 5 min. with me. After reading his notes on MyChart I wonder if he actually saw me or if I was totally zoned out during visit. Notes in MyChart said he talked abt. things we never talked abt. One thing is contrary to what is actual fast.

07/20/2021

I had surgery 2 1/2 months ago. I am no better. Very discouraged to be told that I just have to live with back pain, use walking stick and get more shots. I was then told I have severe deterioration. My question is why was I considered for back surgery if there was so much deterioration. I had numerous tests prior to surgery. I've had many shots, I did everything the doctors asked me to do. My friends ask me the question, 'why did Dr Geiger recommend the surgery if you have so much deterioration in your lower back'..and I don't know the answer. I am greatly disappointed and I am still in same pain I have had for years. My walking/standing is no better.

07/16/2021

First time I have been in this office. The doctor was a very friendly individual, easy to understand, and truly concerned about my well being.

07/12/2021

The dr. and other employers were very pleasant and understanding.

06/30/2021

very happy

06/27/2021

I didn't feel that he truly listened to what I had to say. I felt like he had his plan of care in his head and didn't want to shift from that plan. I wanted to try other options before a brace but he didn't think they would work and didn't explain why.

06/26/2021

Dr. was very professional,knew exactly what he could do to fix my back and to take care of the tumor pressing against my spinal cord.

06/22/2021

Excellent explained my health concerns and advised further treatment.

06/15/2021

very disappointing from the start. I arrived at 1120a. my appointment was 1140a, I was placed in room Dr. did not arrive in room until approximately 1220p. the Dr. did not seem interested in listening to all I had to say, rather told me his thoughts, I felt very dismissed. the visit was maybe 10 min long. so my insurance was billed for a visit that I was lucky to have 10 min of his time, ridiculous.

06/10/2021

Dr. Geiger was the surgeon who performed a laminectomy and fusion in [ . . . ], and my visit with regard to this survey was my three month check up with him. He is very pleasant and easy to talk to.

06/07/2021

Professional, informative.
