Ratings for Dr. David Oehme
4.9
I saw Dr Oehme for persistent cervical radiculopathy after a previous C6–7 ACDF performed 10 years ago. Following my first surgery, I had only partial improvement in my arm pain, while my neck pain persisted. When I revisited my original surgeon (not Dr Oehme), I was discouraged from having any further surgery and was essentially told I would need to rely on pain medication long term. Eventually, I sought another opinion from Dr David Oehme, who confidently offered me a C6–7 cervical disc replacement despite my age (63 years old). I am now just over 2 weeks post-op and already feeling significantly better. Both my neck pain and radicular arm pain are improving well, and I have been able to reduce my pain medication intake substantially. It is still early days, and I believe I will continue to improve over the coming weeks and months. Based on my experience so far, I highly recommend Dr Oehme
From the first visit to 6 months post op...nothing but praise. I am 100% symptom free. It was the best decision to have spinal fusion / decompression done with the expertise and precision thst is Dr Oehme's gift!!!
After suffering for so many years with a herniated disc L5/ S1 i finally decided surgery was the way to go. My doctor referred me to another specialist but he wasn't able to fit me in. I then decided to do some searching myself and found this gentleman who fitted me in for a consultation and then surgery ,which was a massive change in my life. David is not only a polite gentleman but also a great surgeon, no more painkillers i highly recommend Dr David Oehme to any one thats in need of his services. David thank you so much.
I recently saw David regarding pain in my lower back and left leg sciatica. During the consultation, he was very thorough and detailed in providing all the necessary information. He suggested multiple treatment options and after careful consideration, we proceeded with an L5/S1 microdiscectomy. The surgery resulted in zero complications and instant relief from the intense nerve pain. Throughout the entire process, David and his team have been amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone.
3 Years of ongoing sciatica and leg pain with numbness Several injections and finally decided on the Surgery in the form of a L3-L5 Laminectomy. I week after surgery pain free and walking again. 6 weeks after surgery enjoyed an overseas cruise and enjoyed lots of walking and exploring while at the stopover ports. Cannot recommend David Oehme enough. Wonderful surgeon and so easy to talk to. His staff made the whole experience an absolute pleasure No hesitation in recommending
David Oehme is a treasure. One hour after waking up from a microdiscectomy I was up and walking free of pain. 2 months of agony evaporated in the blink of an eye! I would recommend this fine human being to anyone wishing help. David is clearly a man of intelligence, integrity and compassion. He is a person who communicates great empathy and has the intellectual and kinaesthetic skills pat excellence. Thank you David. I thought my life as I had known it was over. Now I have a new lease on life.
He hurried me out the door without answering all of my questions. He did not give options and was distracted.
Thank goodness for Mr Oehme. He was pleasant, friendly, patient and did not rush to get me out the door to see his next patient. All of his staff were patient, kind and extremely helpful. The surgery was flawless. There were no surprises. I knew exactly what was going to occur. I feel fantastic. No pain. I have my life back. He is the best !
David, Andrew and their staff were nothing short of amazing. A totally professional and caring team from David to Andrew and all their support staff based in their consulting rooms. The examination, testing and diagnosis was done in a timely fashion to minimise and eliminate continued pain. The solution to my issue was explained and discussed in detail to ensure I understood my options. Once the options were explained my family and I were able to discuss the provided information and make an informed decision. Throughout the preoperative period I felt completely at ease with David’s professional yet caring bed side manner. Post op David was equally professional and caring along with being well supported by his broader team. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending David, Andrew and the team should you require specialist care.
The staff and Mr David Oehme are both friendly and professional. I had an operation on L2 and L3 3 weeks ago by Mr Oehme all my original pain I had prior to operation has gone. So so grateful....
