Dr. Joshua Ammerman is caring, accessible, knowledgeable, and experienced. His first concern is for the patient.
It starts with his being on time for appointments and spending time to explain and answer questions, so you feel comfortable with the process. In the operating room, he helps you using his lifetime of high-quality training and, more importantly, hands-on experience. He is the one in the operating room, not a trainee.
As you decide who is operating on your body, remember the words I mentioned above that describe Joshua Ammerman: caring, accessible, knowledgeable, and experienced. They guided me to receive a successful, top-quality, 5-star surgery.

I was sent to Dr Ammerman to treat cervical spinal stenosis. He absorbed and remembered everything wevdiscuss d, Is direct, explains medical conditions in plain speech avoiding medicalese, is thorough in follow-up, is reassuring and positive, is confident about his conclusions but willing to consider alternatives and is a decent human being - totally trustworthy and highly regarded by the nursing personnel with whom he works. Who could ask for anything more? He is Chief of Surgery at Sibley Hospital, a deserved position.

All I'm going to say is this - read what the workers comp person said.

I have had surgery by Dr. A for a slipped spinal bone. Spent an amazing amount of time with me before surgery and was available after surgery. Very sincere. The only problem was that it took me a long time to get a first appointment; but I guess that is what you would expect for a doc that's in such high demand.

I was sent to Dr. Ammerman for a second opinion on a workers comp case. He said he knew and respected my doctor and agreed with his diagnosis. He lied right to my face and sent a report back to the insurance company saying I didn't need surgery and that my injuries were not even from the accident I had on the job. He is working for the insurance companies. My life was ruined by this accident and he is doing everything he can to make sure I am not going to get the surgery I need. If you or anyone you love needs help. I would not recommend going to this doctor. He is unethical and untrustworthy. He smiled and told me everything I wanted to hear and then to please the insurance company he told them I wasn't even hurt. I don't know how he sleeps at night. Again in my opinion he is not to be trusted.
