Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

8/8/23Dr. Hubschmann first performed surgery on my spine in 2001. He did so to correct a failed surgery performed by a different surgeon/practice three years prior. This surgery provided me with TWENTY TWO YEARS of pain free full activity. As I got older, my back required further correction and stability. I underwent a laminectomy, diskectomy and fusion on 8/3/23. I am now 5 days out of surgery. I have been walking since the day after surgery and walking unaided and without pain medication for three days now. Dr. Hubschmann, Dr. Koziol and their team are without peer. I credit Dr. Hubschmann for giving me the ability to walk not once but twice. I can never thank Dr Hubschmann enough.Glen Parker

I am 79 years old and considered a high risk patient. Dr Hubschmann took on the challenge of repairing my entire lumbar spine and gave me my life back. He consistantly communicated with my family to keep them up to date and answered all of their questions. He and his staff were always just a phone call away. Thanks to his brilliant mind and amazing skill, I now can enjoy my remaining years with out the excruciating pain I've been suffering with.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Hubschmann to anyone the needs his services. My mother had severe spondylolisthesis of the entire lumbar spine. She was a high risk patient due to her age (78) and the fact that she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. His presurgical consult was very comprehensive and edulcational. He took the time to answer all of our questions. Her surgery was complicated and extremely long (8 hours). He, and/or the resident staff were available 24/7 for questions.

Dr. Hubschmann & his residents denied that anything was wrong with me post operatively. I had complications from the moment I woke up from surgery. I knew that something was very wrong, but he wouldn't listen! When I went to another surgeon, after having all new tests,the new surgeon found that the screw was in my spinal canal & had to take out alll hardware on right side,& now I have permanent nerve damage & foot drop on right side. My life will never be the same & I can't walk or work!
