I've seen several spine specialists to find help with issues that began from a back surgery in Omaha.Two were honest.Jonathan Fuller was not one of those two.Anger can be a sign of a lack of intelligence and Fuller became angry when I presented those MRI images I only suspected at the time were the cause of those issues.Fuller called the images of intraoperative injuries (injured by surgeon) artifacts (he lied).It is not possible for artifacts to manifest as such.As I tried to tell him my symptoms of pain and weakness Fuller loudly,sarcastically said "IS THAT ALL!" and walked out of the room

After Fuller I called someone I know out of state who manages an area of a hospital,explained my symptoms and sent the same images w/o telling the above I asked who from Ne.they could recommend.A couple of days later was given names of a few doctors the highest recommendation was an orthopedic spine surgeon from Kearney.Fuller was not one of those recommended.

If having a doctor intelligent and caring enough to be honest is important when making a life's choice this isn't that guy.

The most rude and unprofessional doctor I have ever met. He spent less than five minutes with me and basically implied I was faking my pain even after MRI showed bulging discs in several areas. I chose Dr. Fuller because he was highly regarded and also because he had received several awards on patient care. I have no doubt that he is probably a good doctor, but have no respect for someone who interrupts me and doesn't listen to me. I had to wait nearly 2 hours to see him and hoped he would help me., instead he was rude and arrogant. My advice: See someone else.

2005 fusion done L4 L5 S1 Never returned to work and and became disabled from Dr. Fuller and his ego. Not willing to listen even when PA told me reasons I could still be having pain. Dr Fuller dismissed the PA out of the office. Would not recommend him to anyone especially when he thought he was right which left me with nerve damage and I never returned back to work!

He saved me from major surgery on L1 thru 5 with his second opinion. I had a discectomy in same day surgery and walked out after recovery with no back/leg pain. I appreciated his knowledgeable and direct presentation. He answered every question I had with a credible answer.

I am waiting to have spinal fusion at the end of this month and I am terrified. I have heard and read pros and cons on Dr Fuller. I have like him so far but like I said, I am terrified.

Dr Fuller was very unhelpful, would not listen to me and interrupted me multiple times. He insisted that the reason i couldn't sleep at night was that i had insomnia and not post 2 level cervical fusion pain. His ego is huge and he refuses to think he could ever be wrong. Good luck.

Nebraska Spine Center requires that you pay your deductible before they can treat you. This has really put a damper on my experience. MONEY instead of patient care. And I had to wait 3 hours to see him when they were not busy. He seemed nice but rather stiff in his approach. I am not sure what to think about this doctor.

Dr. Fuller is one of the best and most caring doctors I have ever seen. If you have back or neck pain, he is the one to see.
