Dr. Kyle Girod, MD

I started going to Dr. Girod about 10 years ago for my back. He gave me the shots in my back and I was ok for about five years but I had pain again and I finally decided to have the fusions he recommended. I had the surgery a year ago and I am not hurting like before. I still have still having some pain but nothing like before. He let me make the decision to have the surgery myself and told me 'you will know when'

He was extremely detailed and made sure my wife and I had our concerns met. He also spoke in words that my non medical brain could understand.

I was able to get in the same day I called. PA Terry was great.

He was though and was willing to do more test if I don’t get better.

Dr. Girod was very thorough with his assessment and listened to me as a person not just a patient. He understood all my concerns and answered all of my questions.

Dr Girod came across as genuinely concerned with finding the corrected diagnosis for my neck pain . Hopefully he will get the results of my tests and refer me to the correct care .

I had a fusion in 2016 and Dr Girod was awesome. I am having problems now, lower down my spine and he is the ONLY doctor I will have work on it

I was referred to your clinic (Dr. Eiserloh) by my PCP in March. First appointment was for April 30th at 2:00 P. M. Two hours before appointment got call to cancel appointment. Dr. On call. Had to go to hospital. No “I’m sorry.” No attempt to reschedule earlier appointment. Next appointment was at end of May. Could not wait that long because in severe pain. Using cane & wheelchair to get around. Was transferred & made an appointment with Dr. Girod for May 7th. Saw him. No problem with him. Wanted MRI. Waited a week. No call from y’all. Called insurance company. No request for MRI. Called Dr. Girod. Left message. Still no answer from office. Waited another week. Called insurance company. Still no request for MRI. Got phone call today to schedule my MRI. Has been over a month. Would have been nice to get call from y’all to let me know what was going on. I have found another doctor. I hope not all patients are treated like I was. Employees never gave their name when calling. Rude.

Dr. Girod is very informative, kind, and takes his time during the appointment. I would definitely recommend him to anyone with spine issues.

Very nice, intelligent and willing to listen to his patient also has a great bedside manner.

My first visit was great !My follow up not so good. When I pay to see a specialist, I expect to see one. Not a PA !

His manner was funny, informative & he explained & actually sketched how procedure would go. My implant will be performed this week. So excited. I wish I'd been referred to him a long time ago. Was referred to me by another amazing doctor, Dr. Marcus John also from Baton Rouge

Although I thought on my first visit that I thought Dr Girod would be perfect to treat my neck problems. But it took almost 10 days to get an MRI of my neck and I wasn't allowed to see Dr Girod for another 17 days to review my MRI results. Even though I Contacted Dr. Girod and his Nurse to explain how serious and painful my neck pain was. No one would help me. Although I am not sure that my messages where given to Dr Girod but if they were then I did the right thing going to New Orleans to see a neurosurgeon who is treating m e for my severe neck pain

After all that time waiting, I saw a P.A, who could not get into the computer., She asked me the 4 questions that I had come early to do.I told her he said to come back after my hip surgery to check a fracture in my back. Now my back hurts and there is pain going down my leg. So I wanted it checked. She left the room for 15 minutes, came back and said I think you need an MRI, and go schedule it up front.I was there 2-5 p.m. and NEVER saw Dr. Girod. AND used up all the battery in my cell phone.

Each visit is always, professional. He has a way of easing your anxiety with his fun personality. Answers all questions in a way that is relatable.

Very through in explaining diagnosis.

Thorough explain and future plan

All went well. Staff is very nice. I didn't feel rushed at all.

The placed had a packed house but I was seen very timely. Dr. Girod was very friendly and easy to talk to. He’s also funny! Highly recommend!!!

Explained how we would approach treatment and that we would work toward the common goal of getting me where I need to be. Appreciate his positivity.
