Dr. John Russell Ogden, MD

I would not go to anyone else if I needed a surgery. Dr. Ogden is skilled, timely, and pleasant. 5 stars!

I had back and neck surgery perfomed by Dr. Ogden. He was thorough and explained my condition, the procedure, possible outcomes, and prognosis. He has a great bedside manner and I felt confident with his skills and expertise. I would definitely recommend Dr. John Odgen for anyone needing neck or back surgery.

zero stars for this doctor. I would never trust him again

Dr.Ogden is the ONLY one I trust for my back and neck surgery!He is precise, skilled, and I won't let anyone else do surgery on my back!

I personally owe Dr John Ogden a public apology and a pardon me ! Dr Ogden operated on my back 8 years ago. And after back surgery I started having trouble. And the MRI showed I had alot of fluid buildup around my spine. And Dr Ogden got the blame for it ! Come to find out after 8 years and multiple procedures to include surgery in order for them to remove the fluid around my spine. This was not Dr Ogdens doings . This complication came from the quack who was my primary care physician. I found out had been lying to me about my thyroid levels. And everything slowed down in my body as a result! Unfortunately when I found out what was actually the cause of the fluid. It almost cost me my life! Dr Ogden I am truly sorry!

I'm one week out on ACDF and so far I'm optimistic despite outside complications. I was in a car accident 10 minutes after release from hospital, fortunately the surgery stayed intact, I had whiplash and a torn muscle in my back which only Added to my pain. One awesome thing I'd like to share is waking up in recovery and even in distress from passion I was so blessed & thankful to have feeling in my hands! My surgeon did impressive work & if refer anyone to him! When my pain meds were due at 7 days, Dr was on vacation and had some difficulty getting refills at a critical time of healing.

Best surgeon ever. The only one who ever actually fixed my back.

I love Dr. Ogden, I have a rare brain disease and there really is not much many can do for it. Dr. Ogden placed my shunt and I have had one shunt revision surgery also, so he has been in my brain twice, I love his staff and he is willing to listen to his patients, at least that was my experience with him. Although I have been referred to another surgeon now because he doesn't like LP shunts and I need one. I think he is good at what he does and would trust him cutting in my brain any day. :)

Wonderful, wonderful Neurosurgeon! Great bedside manner and a very positive person! Would NEVER consider using another one!!!

I had 3 previous back surgeries and I won't go into details about who performed them or any of that. The important thing is that my fourth and I know final surgery was performed by Doctor Ogden and it was remarkable. With previous damage and scar tissue left I am not 100% but I am better than I dreamed I would be because of this remarkable doctor. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a back surgery. Everything about him from his bedside manner on through his knowledge and the procedure itself is pure perfection.

I LOVE this dr!!! The most amazing surgeon I've ever had. Very caring about his patients, even after surgery. He doesn't beat around the bush.. He tells it how it is. And does what he thinks is best. After 2 surgeries with him I'm going in for my third back surgery. I trust Ogden. He may come across an a jerk, but honestly he's a very sweet guy. Plus he's easy on the eyes, so that's a plus. He's truly a gifted surgeon. Beside fixing my spine he saved my life. The day I was to be released he found a blood clot and rushed me to surgery. Had he not taken the time to look at my MRI again I would have died. He's does amazing work and won't stop until he's happy with the finished product.

I rated this doctor excellent because he saved my mother's life. She had a brain tumor the size of an orange and he removed most of the tumor (approx. 90%). He couldn't remove the rest because he was affraid of causing more damage than good. Even though he is dificult to get an appointment with, you have to wait 2+ hours to get in (apointment is at 10 but you don't get called back until 12) and then his office staff blames you because they call and reschedule you but they don't change the time in the computers, he still saved my mother. In my book, thats all that matters.
