Excellent Doctor and staff. After 7 years of pain and working with different spine center to no avail, contacted the Mayo and Dr. Birch as a last ditch effort. He saw the problem immediately (no one else could diagnose) did surgery and now 18 months later I am pain free, playing golf and living my life again.

Medicare and Blue Cross. After extensive research I consider Dr. Birch one of the top Neurosurgeons available today. My first visit to Dr. Birch was for Lumbar Back pain 5 years ago. He recommended against surgery. I followed his advice. In May 2011 I experienced severe leg and back pain (was disabled) x-rays determined severe degenerative disc disease together with spinal stenosis in my Lumbar Spine. I traveled 550 miles to see Dr. Birch. He shows a sincere interest in his patients and I trust him. On July 1, 2011 Dr. Birch fused my Lumbar Vertebra 2,3,4,&5. I am now on my 8th week post op and overall this has been a piece of cake. No more leg pain, driving after four weeks, stopped pain medication after four weeks (mainly took pain meds to sleep). I am 75 years old and I consider Mayo and Dr. Birch one of my better decisions in life. I am still in recovery but this experience has exceeded my expectations.

I had my neck surgery with Dr.Birch at one level. It has been 4 weeks today and I am so glad I had this surgery with Dr.Birch. Had one follow up and I am 80% better now and if you want the best, go see Dr Birch at the Mayo Clinic. Kind,understanding and mostly a great surgeon. Thanks to Dr.Barry Birch.

If you are ever in need of a Neurosurgeon please see the best. This doctor had the best bedside manner and spent over an hour with me explaining my neck problem.Highly recommend in my opinion.
