It is only because of Dr. Gleiber that I am walking today. I was a sneeze or cough away from paralysis from the waist down when I met him.

The care that I received from Dr. Michael Gleiber was a turning point in my life.
I had suffered with neck and back pain for most of my adult life, having injured both during sports activities in college and a lifetime of continued spinal abuse. As time went on, the pain became more severe and I developed severe headaches due to the neck issues and had to give up golf because of the back pain. After trying every other alternative pain solution, I finally decided that surgery was the only option left. After visiting with several prominent orthopedic surgeons in my area, I was told that cervical surgery was not advised due to the multilevel severity of my condition. Then I found Dr. Gleiber.
During our initial consultation, Dr. Gleiber showed us my x-rays and CT scans and clearly explained to my wife and me the severity of my neck issue. However, while other doctors gave me a 50% chance of success, Dr. Gleiber said he was 95% confident that he could fix my neck with a procedure called an Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion. His personal care prior to and following the surgery went beyond anything I had ever experienced from a doctor. When I was worried because the recovery was not going fast enough, he spent whatever time I needed in the office and on the phone to reassure me that everything was looking great and that I just had to give it time and to be patient.
Once I saw that he was absolutely correct and my neck pain dissipated, I went through the same process with full confidence that he could relieve my lower back pain as well. Five months after my neck surgery, Dr. Gleiber performed an Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion. Once again, he had to walk me off the edge several times when my recovery wasn’t going as fast as I had expected. His calm and caring manner gave me the reassurance I needed to complete the recovery process with patience and a positive attitude.
One year after my initial meeting with Dr. Gleiber, I am now free from the neck and back pain that I was experiencing when I walked into his office. I cannot recommend him highly enough not only for his amazing skill as a surgeon but also for the genuine personal care that he took in my recovery. In addition, his office staff was truly remarkable in their responsiveness and assistance. Mia and Anna did everything possible to make the process smooth and stress free.
I highly recommend Dr. Michael Gleiber to anyone who is seeking the best spinal surgeon in America.

When you search in Google for Dr Michael Gleiber, the third google auto-fill search you get is "Dr Michael Gleiber’s Net Worth". From my own life changing experience with Dr. Gleiber … the answer is: There is not enough money in this world to put a price on Dr. Gleiber's net worth! This man gives people their lives back; he gave me my life back! I am a mother of two young children that had lost hope on life without pain because I trusted our broken healthcare system. I saw over a dozen of the “best doctors” covered under my health insurance. These doctors told me there was nothing that could be done for me and that I should resign myself to taking pain killers and paying therapy for the rest of my life. One of my friends was fed-up with my “I am in pain/bed” excuse every weekend and stalked me until I made an appointment with Dr. Gleiber. I had an hour and a half consultation over the phone with Dr. Gleiber (free) before deciding to go for the full in office consultation. During the call Dr. Gleiber actually listened and asked me the non-traditional textbook doctor questions; questions that were very specific to my lifestyle. It was then when I decided to go for the full consultation (it is not cheap but worth every penny). Dr. Gleiber requested his own set of X-rays and MRIs before I arrived to his office. When I arrived to his office, Dr. Gleiber greeted me with a full encyclopedia of my medical history on his arms. He had studied every single page of it (about 2 inches thick worth of printouts) and asked more questions. Then he proceeded to interpret my MRI and X-Rays with such detail that I finally understood why I was in such constant pain. After the full consultation, I had made up my mind to go ahead with surgery with Dr. Glieber, I trusted him; however, my loved ones begged me to go for more opinions which I did to appease everyone. I received the same diagnosis from every spinal surgeon after a 20 min consultation, in 20 min these doctors would decide how to treat a 4 year ongoing life debilitating condition that would affect the rest of my life!
I am six months Post ACDF surgery and I will not lie, I was skeptical at times and panicked many more because my neck pain was still there. However, it was a different pain, it was a muscular pain (muscles adjusting to my new perfect spine structure) and not a nerve pain. I have regained my right hand strength (right after surgery), no more tingling sensation, and no more numbness. All along Dr. Gleiber and his team were there for me. Dr. Gleiber would personally call me or email me back within hours when I was in panic mode. I think at this point Dr. Gleiber is probably at minimum wage rate from all the hours he has spent caring for me. As of today, I am pain free, muscle cramp free and grateful to have found the amazing Dr. Michael Gleiber. Go 121-DiGITAL! (internal joke)

I must say that after my surgery (L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1), it's been a miracle. I'm now 100% pain free and walking every day 3 miles since the surgery with no pain. I can't wait to get back on the golf course and play for the first time in many years without pain. Thank you Dr. Gleiber!!!!
