Dr Jho and Patrick 7/30/24 Thank you very much for the absolutely fabulous repair you did on my spine. The outcome of your work has allowed me to move about freely like a twenty year old man. I brag about you to all my friends and refer them to you when appropriate. I hope to not need your services in the future but if I do I won’t hesitate to contact you. It has been an honor to be your patient. Steve Apostolopoulos

If I could rate a 0 I would. He took a biopsy of my cervical nerves 3-7 on 12/02/1997. Thought it was a tumor because I had a brain tumor in 1988..... Afterwards was in terrible pain. Had family, wife, 4 Boys at the time, he never saw me again. Today Im paraplegic with terrible pain still.. he never saw me All I really needed was a dose of Prednisone for nerve swelling from lifting all diff appliances every day..

f I could give zero stars, I would. Dr. Jho performed his “minimally invasive” neck surgery on me several years ago. It was the most painful experience of my life. As they were getting ready to move me from the recovery room, the nurse whispered “I’m going to give you the rest of this pain medicine here, because they won’t give you any more.” And she was right. I laid in bed all night in agony, crying and holding my neck. I got maybe 2 low dose pain pills. We asked the nurse to contact the doctor for more pain meds. She said there was no point, because that doctor never prescribed enough pain medicine. They sent me home with a couple days worth of pain meds, which was not nearly enough. I ended up in the ER. The doctors there were appalled at how little pain control I was given. And Dr. Jho’s office didn’t even bother to schedule a follow up appointment or to even call to see how I was doing. They clearly didn’t care. And the surgery didn’t help at all.

My father had a surgery in 1997 his health and body has severely decreased since his surgery that Dr. Jho did

Dr JHO operated on my sciatic nerve making only a small incision. Prior to my operation I was like a cripple and couldn't walk without stopping every 3-4 min. In 4 years since the operation I have not had one single sciatic nerve pain.

The best. Dr. Jho, and his superb staff, kept me working as an anesthesiologist despite my severe cervical and lumbar stenosis. These procedures were accomplished endoscopically without the need for fusion, hardware, or any significant amount of post-op narcotics. Well worth the international search I made!

I had anterior cervical decompression and foraminotomy performed by Dr. Jho in 2011. Apparently a slip and fall on the ice exacerbated an underlying problem with cervical stenosis that made me very vulnerable to paralysis, according to two neurosurgeons whom I consulted prior to getting an appointment with Dr. Jho. Both previous neurosurgeons proposed classical anterior decompressions and fusions but I was somewhat horrified by the radical nature of the procedures. Through my research I discovered Dr. Jho’s website. After submitting my MRIs, I was encouraged to travel as soon as practical to Pittsburgh for the surgery. Turns out the urgency was warranted as Dr. Jho confirmed that another jolt to my spine could have resulted in paralysis. The experience at Allegheny General was impressive - thorough, caring, and comprehensive. In recovery I was asked how I felt. I flexed the fingers of my left hand and the sensation of tingling pain was gone. I flew home the following day and never looked back. Perhaps I was just an ideal candidate for this procedure, but I’m ever grateful that my condition is 100% resolved.

Fantastic recovery from removal of bone spur in thoracicT7-8 area. I will be back as soon as he can take me for similar in T5-6. Another surgeon at a renounced teaching hospital said he'd have to go in thru the chest, a very major surgery. Also he would do a fusion. Dr Jho went in thru a tiny incision in my back , cleaned out the spur. with no fusion I was able to get up from the hospital and go home immediately. Flew home the next day. Pain was very minimal, acetaminophen covered it. after the second day. My only difficulty was in not lifting things over 5lbs. I felt so good after 4 days that I did a big grocery shopping. I have to say I had an aching back then. But no sharp pain at all and it got back to where it was in two days. I have been amazed at how painless it was.. I am very happy I found Dr Jho.

Staff was ignorant and the Dr and his assistant said I was basically a junkie because after two previous surgeries I still needed pain management. Refused surgery because I was on pain medication amd surgery could kill me because of shock-went to another Dr and had surgery AND no shock from pain-Dr Ding Dong

He is the best doctor i have ever met. He is very professional and always put patient's benefit at top of the list & he cares for patient wholeheartedly. My husband has a brain tumor and the surgery has been done in Jul 2018. It is almost 5 weeks after the surgery now, and he is recovering in an amazing speed. All symptoms are improving: his double vision is gone, he can walk with little assistance (he was on wheelchair before the surgery), he can eat and drink as a normal person (he choked very often when eating, & can only drink with THICKEN UP power added), his dizziness & ringing in ear are improving, his abilities for self-management is also improving ... Dr Jho not only taking care my husband, but also the family in many ways. We are so lucky to have such a great doctor to do the surgery for my husband.
