Everyone was great,and Dr. Pearson was very helpful and explained everything were it was understandable.

Very informative and very comforting

Staff are friendly and helpful at the front desk. Wait time is very reasonable. When you are escorted to the back, usually by Tammy, she is super friendly and accommodating. I even mentioned that I was cold and she said lets move you to room 3 it’s a little warmer. And there’s Dr Robinson— so warm and understanding— lets you explain then ask questions after he gives the details of your scans. Explains options and probable outcomes. Then to surgery scheduling , usually Sonny, oh so sweet and accommodating to your time frames. My family has had the misfortune to need their services on to many occasions but we were blessed to have as our surgical office and team. Oh I can’t believe I left out Wendy NP. She is wonderful. Explains everything in depth and lets you ask as many questions as you need. Thank You all.

Dr. Pearson was honest regarding the seriousness and the risk/rewards involved with the SCS procedure. I appreciated that very much and look forward to getting the procedure behind me and achieving relief from the excruciating pain I’ve endured for approximately 18 months. Dr. Pearson was very highly recommended to me by my primary physician and Spinal specialist. I highly recommend Dr. Pearson as a neurologist.

Very professional

Dr Robinson is an excellent surgeon. He is kind, listens and explains the procedure in detail.

My husband had been in back pain for a several years. He had fell out of a tree stand and had crushed some of his lower vertebrate. Saw someone about it shortly after the accident and was told that if he had surgery it would have to be done again in about 3 years. So we waited several more years. Finally in 2021 we found Dr Pearson, he said he could relieve some of the pain by scrapping off some of the arthritis. It helped for about 3years. We went back to see Dr Pearson about doing anything else. Dr Pearson said he could help Him by fussing some of the vertebra together. While he was doing the surgery he found a large spear that was pressing on some nerves, and removed it and completed surgery. My husband has been relieved of 99% of his pain in his lower back. Finding Dr Pearson and praying for help with my husband pain was meant to be at this time. Thank you Dr Pearson

Very easy and pleasant experience

Just saw him, scheduled replacement upgrade simulator (3rd one). Appointments were easily made. Plan in place.

As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I am very appreciative of the care I've received and will certainly be recommending to my patients who need neurosurgical intervention utilize Alabama Neurological Surgery & Spine.

The office is very accessible, on the first floor and parking is very close. I didn’t have to wait but a few minutes before the receptionist called me and was nice and friendly. I was very impressed that Dr. Robinson gave me some options when he told me what was going on with my back and what he needed to do. Then the ladies that set up all the appointments before my surgery, were very efficient. Even though they told me about several following appointments, which I knew I would not remember, when I got home and looked at all my papers, everything was so clearly written down, the dates and times were underlined and were so easy to follow on my appointment card. There was a map to Grandview Hospital included too, that I know will be very helpful to me!! Thank you so much Alabama Neurological Surgery&Spine center for a pleasant experience.

All staff was very courteous and diligently working. Waiting time was very minimal. Doc Robinson has a great personality and bedside manner and he isn't speculating or guessing, he ordered more imaging in order to see whatever is there clearly. Then we will discuss options. God bless Doc Robinson and all the staff.

Dr.Pearson is a great doctor, I had surgery 6 weeks ago on my low spine, I feel like I did years ago, I would use him again, totally trust his opinion!

Office staff should tell people to put the "suite 150" in GPS the 1st time they call for directions. Not an hour later. Very helpful once at the office. Dr Kuhn was knowledgeable and had reviewed my x-rays. She answered all my questions.

Explained in great detail. Was extremely patient with my questions and I never felt rushed. Would absolutely recommend Dr. Kuhn

Dr Robinson was very nice and pleasant to be around. Nice facility

Appointment went seamless and Dr. Robinson was assuring he could solve my back problems

Fabulous doctor. After looking at my MRI he knew exactly what was causing the excruciating pain in my leg. I had outpatient surgery and am now pain free.

It was a great experience. Everyone is very kind and professional. Hardly any waiting time at all. Dr Kuhn is very personable and provides great care to her patients. She would be highly recommended to my family or friends.

She was very professional and took the time to answer my questions. Also went out of her way to schedule the mri same day due to my schedule being tight at times. Place is very clean and almost new still!

I found this practice to be professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I had X-rays, saw an assistant, spoke to the Dr. Kuhn, and scheduled my surgery within an hour. I didn't feel rushed and was asked if I had any questions.

All of the personal were very professional.

Very professional and informative

Dr was very throuth

I am eternally grateful for Dr. Pearson and the care and expertise he has given me. I went through a 15 hour brain surgery and am recovering. He has my deepest appreciation.

Dr. Robinson is a miracle worker!

Dr Kuhn was so professional yet approachable with questions and concerns. Her skill level is over the top and I feel better than I have in years!

The staff is very professional and very little wait time.

As always my experience was good.

A fantastic, sweet, friendly, very kind doctor and staff is very kind and caring

Very good.

Met with Dr. Kuhn and discussed the problems I’ve been having with the nerves in my left butt, leg and knee. She said I needed to give it some time since my surgery and she is scheduling me for some shots at the Pain Center.

Wonderful!! Everyone is extremely nice! Dr Kuhn is an excellent doctor! I would highly recommend her!!

Dr Kuhn slipped me in at the end of her long day to remove a portion of an offending disc. The results were immediate, and she has continued to follow me for other back problems. She is pleasant and patient and takes time to explain.

Excellent

My experience wAs one of the best that I have had, thanks to. You & your Attendant’s! I highly recommend you.!! Dr Pearson! Thanks. Elizabeth Morris

Dr Pearson explained very clearly what my options were and answered all of my questions thoroughly

Took time explaining what surgery entailed. Wonderful staff

.

Dr Pearson and his staff are kind. He performed surgery on me five years ago and everything went well. I'm about to have another procedure and I'm very confident in Dr Pearson and highly recommend him.

Had quite a long wait before being seen

Dr. Pearson and the entire team are so kind and caring. They make sure you understand your condition and next steps to your treatment and healing. Best practice in Birmingham, AL

Everyone was very courteous and professional in every way.Dr Robinson has a great bedside manner, makes you feel comfortable about procedure. I would highly recommend he and his staff to anyone.

Short wait and very courteous staff

Very nice

I love Dr. Pearson and he did a wonderful job on my surgery

Great

Appointments at this office are probably the best experience one could have for a Dr's Appointment. Starting from the sweetest Receptionist/ Check in, to the always happy and respectful person who does the X-rays, all the way to the pleasant person who sets up my next appointment- incredible service! Most of all - my surgeon - I'm so glad I found her! She has not only fixed my neck problems, she has listened to me and treated me so well. Thank you.

I was well, Dr. Kuhn was great, and the surgery was very successful. No complaints, all went extremely well.

Most. Satisfying in. All. Areas

My experience with Dr Robinson is.He

Friendly atmosphere. Was seen quickly and efficiently by doctor and staff.

Good

Good

Received on time. Allocated appropriate resources to diagnose and recommend appropriate measures as were needed. Very personable and professional. Would recommend highly.

Dr. Robinson, Wendy, Sunny, Tammy, the whole staff; they’ve always been kind and helpful. I’m having lower back issues. I’ve asked that Dr. Robinson see you f he could help me with them. Thank you for all you do.

Wonderful knowledge staff. Dr was very good at explaining everything to me.

Knowledgeable

Very clean and up to date facilities. Great doctor and staff. Dr Robinson took time to discuss my advanced , complex case and upcoming surgery

Love the staff and experience with everyone I have come in contact with.

Well pleased ,very professional

Not waiting long and Dr Pearson is very straight forward and helpful in decision to be made.

Dr.Kuhn was thorough and answered all my questions. She provided me with good assessment of my issues and next steps to take.

Good

She made me feel safe I really didn’t ask questions I should’ve asked because I was so comfortable with her

Kind definitely professional and extremely knowledgeable - a very pleasant experience

This is my 2nd evaluation of my experience. Again, Dr. Pearson is a genius and very kind. Dr. Pearson gave me the IDENTICAL diagnosis from my Neurologist in 1999 in Mobile, Alabama, after a vehicle accident that damaged my back. I have been sharing my experience with others. I often wondered how my Neurologist in 1999 could diagnose the condition of my back 24-years later. Again, Dr. Pearson’s diagnosis and instructions were IDENTICAL. However, I would have preferred a favor result. I need a MIRACLE from GOD ALMIGHTY!

Initial appointment was within a week of my referral. They asked for a copy of my MRI but not my x-rays which I could have provided. As with most Dr visits about 15 behind my scheduled appt time. Dr was upfront and explained his diagnosis as well as his recommendation. Overall a good appointment

Very professional doctor and staff.

Good enlightening discussion with Dr Kuhn. Very nice staff, as well as office.

Everyone was very professional & friendly. I was very impressed with Dr Pearson.

Was very nice and knowledgeable.

Successful surgery. Cordial, caring staff

Dr. Pearson is an excellent surgeon and takes time to give education as to the procedure and what to expect. The staff are friendly, courteous and efficient. They are prompt in follow-up and very helpful. I am very happy with the delivery of care I’ve experienced by this medical practice.

Dr. Kuhn is a wonderful doctor. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a neurosurgeon.

Wonderful!!

I LOVE Dr. Pearson! He was very kind and extremely knowledgeable about my back injury. He gave me the SAME diagnosis that another Neurologist gave me in Mobile, Alabama in 1999 as he treated me for a vehicle accident that damaged my back. I wish Dr. Pearson was my primary Doctor but his expertise in the field of Neurology is more beneficial to other patients with back problems. I am happy for the opportunity to say THANK YOU to Dr. Pearson for his great help and respect!!!

Outstanding. The entire process from diagnosis to surgery, and then to recovery was very professional. I have already recommended Dr. Pearson and the entire team to family and friends.

Great manners Great clinic Great care Have been a patient several years! Will continue to use Dr

Great dr

I will say doctor KUHN IS A VERY VERY VALUABLE PERSON especially fore. She has given me a full attention, good care with a respectable manners.GOD bless her.

Dr. Kuhn is always very attentive and genuinely cares for her patients.

The doctor explained the problem and the process he will do in the surgery very well.

The lady out front wasn’t real friendly but everyone else was. Dr. Pearson was kind and professional.

Dr Kuhn is very professional and thorough. She took the time to explain my husband's upcoming procedure, pros and cons and we did not feel rushed as she asked questions and responded with answers. The surgery scheduler , Jennifer, was also thorough and professional. Great experience! Thank you. It no longer seems to be the norm but the exception and leaves for a much better relationship and experience.

Always feel comfortable and well informed by yhe time I leave!

Fabulous experience! Dr. Pearson is very knowledgeable and does an excellent job explaining very complex procedures.

Dr. Robinson has been my neurosurgeon for years. He has performed many procedures on me which have been extremely successful and given me great relief. He shows a sincere interest in my health and explains options to me. I feel very confident after I leave an appointment with him that he has my best interest at heart. Needless to say I highly recommend Dr. Robinson.

Very pleasant and professional.

Dr Pearson is warm and to the point. Highly recommend for your medical needs.

I think Dr. Pearson is very efficient and his staff and I would recommend him to anyone that was in need of your service

I was very much impressed with Dr. Pearson and the staff and yes I would recommend them to anyone

People are friendly and helpful. They spend the time to answer your questions.

Short visit. Would have liked a review of my MRI and a diagnosis.

Dr Kuhn is a great surgeon and she takes her time to listen and answer questions. Dr Kuhn and her staff don’t rush you in or out and they also make you feel welcome.

The care and concerns she provided me with

Very kind and answers all of my questions! Remembers my name and my daughter's name! She's awesome!!!!

Everybody was nice. The wait time wasn’t too long.

Very understandable explanation of my condition and options of treatment which is what I was seeking.

If all the medical staff around this U. S. Of A. was half as kind and professional as I experienced with Dr Blake Pearson and company we truly would have the greatest medical services around this crumbling world. Thanks so much to each of you.

The staff for so friendly and Dr. Pearson is top notch.

The whole staff and Doctor from the time I walked in the door was very respectful. And the Doctor took his time explaining so I knew what he was talking about and wasn’t in a hurry to get out the room. Had a very good experience.

It was good except I wish he would have spent a little more time explaining what I had going on or maybe written a list down for me. I trust him though so it is no problem.

Your office is courteous and professional.

I was helped quickly.

Wait time in waiting room was not long. I preregistered online and pre filled some forms that had been mailed to me. Wait time in the exam room was not long. Doctor Pearson was pleasant and matter of fact which I appreciated. He indicated the MRI showed worse than he observed during the exam. He explained to my satisfaction the surgery needed and the surgery scheduler, Jennifer, was very helpful. The surgery “pack” provided a lot of information that saved asking questions. I’m quite pleased with the initial visit and trust the surgery will alleviate my issues.

Spent time with us and answered all our questions.

Dr Pearson provided excellent treatment and care. He listened to the problems and provided very good results. His staff was very accommodating, professional and pleasant.

I had an appointment yesterday and everyone was very professional .

Dr Pearson and staff are so awesome ❤️

Great

People here are very friendly and helpful. Would recommend anyone to come to Dr Robinson for their surgery needs.

Overall very professional but wait time was over 45 minutes

Very impressed with Dr Robinson and staff.

She has time to sit and talk with you and answer all your questions. She explains in terms I am able to understand.

It was so refreshing to have a doctor like Dr. Kuhn. She was friendly, welcoming, and very thorough in her explanation as to what she would be doing during my dad’s procedure. She has THE best bedside manner of any medical professional we’ve met. She makes sure to ask if you have any questions and will further explain something if you don’t understand. We love her! Thank you so much Dr. Kuhn!

I enjoyed having a doctor that explains everything that he will be doing in my surgery. And that actually has a personality. Thanks again for a great experience.

Dr kuhn and her staff are helpful caring professionals.

My experience was great with Dr Robinson. Although I do need a surgery, he never tried to push it on me. Told me that with decompression treatments helping, the surgery can wait until my pain is intolerable. What I was hoping to hear!

Polite, Helpful and friendly staff. Dr. Pearson is Extremely knowledgeable, understanding and personable. He Took time and care to explain things fully and answer all of my questions,

Dr. Robinson is a great surgeon and has great bedside manner. Hard to find anyone better!

I recommend Dr. Robinson frequently as a skilled and personable surgeon. The office staff and nurses are always upbeat and professional.

Dr. Pearson took the time to review all my CT Scans and was very thorough. He listened well and was very professional and kind.

Everyone was kind and helpful and I dis like the staff. Dr. Pearson was nice BUT, I would have appreciated if he spent a little more time with me and didn’t interrupt me when I wanted to explain what was going on. I understand he probably knows what’s going on just by viewing my MRI because he’s the expert, but we as patients don’t know all that and we want to feel heard and understood. I felt very rushed and in the end I forgot to ask important questions because I was so rushed and not listened to. I took my time to make the appointment, come to the appointment and I have insurance to pay for the appointment so I would have appreciated an un-rushed appointment.

Dr. Robinson was very thorough and genuinely cared about how much pain I was in. The staff were very kind and professional as well.

Dr Robinson is great! He spent an appropriate amount of time with me to answer all of my questions and explain the plan of treatment clearly. He was easy to talk with. I would have given 5 stars if not for the paper work. I spent time completing it on line and had to repeat all of it on paper when I got there! Seems a waste of time.

I saw Dr. Kuhn for a surgery consultation. I have worked in Orthopaedics for about 35 years and had already decided to get at least two opinions as this was going to be an extensive operation. After seeing Dr. Kuhn, I opted to not get another opinion. She was pleasant and immediately made me feel at ease. She was very thorough in explaining the procedures and left me feeling very confident in her.

Greatest neurosurgeon you will ever find.

Great staff, great physician.

I have absolute trust in Dr. Pearson. Jenosnbru

The wait is never long like most offices and Dr Robinson is nice and listens to all your questions and concerns.

I was nice. They cared for me all day

Great experience. Dr Pearson was polite, was not in a hurry and explained things very well.

Great

Friendly, informative and efficient.

I’m better off after having the surgery but still experiencing a little discomfort. Hopefully those needs will met.

Dr. Pearson is always very informative about whatever happens to be your problem and he explains what's going on and what it will require to fix it. He has time for you and doesn't try to rush to get through with you. He asks if you have questions and if you do he takes time and explains.

Nice visit. Everyone pleasant and informative

Dr. Kuhn was very thorough and explained everything to me about DISH disease. I will recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Kuhn was very thorough and explained the situation in my back. She did not suggest surgery in my situation and my age. I appreciated her honesty. She did give suggestions of what I could do.

Great guy great expirence

Dr. Pearson listens, is patient and answered all of my questions. My spinal fusion surgery was successful and I’m pain free for the first time in 10 years

very comfortable and to the point dr very nice

I had a good experience with Dr. Pearson and his office.

Great Dr

I was very pleased with my appointment today. This was my first visit and the staff was very friendly. Dr. Robinson took his time and explained to me very thoroughly what was wrong with my back and how he was going to repair it. I was very nervous about surgery, even though my surgery would be minor, Dr. Robinson gave me confidence that I will feel better once I have the surgery.

It was awesome and the staff was very friendly. Dr Robinson was very thorough with explaining how my surgery would go.

Very good

Excellent. Front desk very warm and receiving. All staff very kind and communicative.

I couldn’t ask for any better care from the time I walked in the door until I walked out.

I just finished my yearly appointment with Dr. Pearson. He and his staff are phenomenal! I highly recommend.

Dr. Kuhn was awesome She spoke to me in terms i could understand, very thorough

Very caring and explaining your condition of why medicine vs surgery needed to be treatment option first.

Thanks for your help. Your were frank with me.

Dr. Robinson is a wonderful surgeon. I have used him in the past and would not hesitate to let him operate on me again if needed. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs his services.

Dr. Robinson and his staff are amazing. Dr. Robinson has done two back surgeries on me and both changed my life. He is the best!

Generally, very good. However, since this was my first visit there I feel like you could have done more to let me know where your actual office was located. I first went to the Grandview Physician Plaza 1 before being informed by the guard there where your office was really located.

Have waited over 60-75 min for both appointments

Everyone very helpful and nice. I recommend Dr. Robertson to everyone that I meet with back problems. Really like the new location.

I couldn’t ask for more professional care and courtesy.

Dr. Pearson made me feel comfortable with my decision to surgery by being totally thorough in his pre op consultation. When I came in for post op, he answered most of my questions without me asking. I have already recommended him to three other people with bank issues.

Dr Robinson, and his staff are first class.

Very professional and courteous

On time Dr. Robinson sat down and talked about my options. He did not just rush off as some doctors too. Everyone there is friendly and helpful

Quick check in. Appointment was on time.

very professional and organized

Has been the best it can be

Excellent

Top notch

The staff was so warm welcome really like the service I had on yesterday

The neurological group, Dr. Kuhn and staff were great! The staff; Lee Ann, Shannon and Meagan were very polite, professional and efficient. I was so impressed by Dr. Kuhn’s professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail. Dr. Kuhn explained the surgical procedure in depth and precisely what would be performed. Dr. Kuhn came very highly recommended and she certainly didn’t disappoint! I would highly recommend Dr. Kuhn and her staff to family and friends!

My experience is always excellent with Dr.Robinson and the nurses

Dr Robinson was quick to get to the point on what needs I have. He was encouraging and pleasant. I felt assured that he knew my problem and reassured me concerning that this was a problem he could correct. Nancy Hartley
