He is extremely punctual and never seems rushed or frustrated. He listens closely and answers appropriately, recommending medical approaches, but respects your choices. I highly recommend him!

Finally – A Doctor That Knows His Stuff! After visiting with several surgeons for my lumbar spine, I met with Dr. Janssen. He was very knowledgeable and to the point. I felt very comfortable with his definitive answers to my questions. He was one of the few surgeons who was willing to talk about an artificial disc replacement. Before I left the office, I booked my appointment for a fusion and an artificial disc replacement and never had any doubts. Surgery was booked within a month. 4 months out from surgery, I can’t be happier. No problems and no more pain. Dr. Janssen is amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone contemplating back surgery!!

He is a wonderful doctor. His staff is great. He did a wonderful job on my back. I wouldn’t go to anyone else for a back injury

Dr. Janssen came highly recommended by several individuals. I found Dr. Janssen and his entire staff to be very thorough and took the time to answer all of my questions so that when I walked out I was totally comfortable with the decision on my treatment. I ultimately ended up needing surgery and was completely satisfied with the end results. The surgery was easy and the recovery has been painless. The scar is almost non-existent due to the skill and time that Ruth Beckham N.P.-C spent closing the incision. I have recommended Dr. Janssen and his staff to other individuals that I know.

Dr. Janssen is a great surgeon, he troughs no punches, he tells it like it is. He gives you all the information you need for surgery and lets you know it your decision to proceed.

Dr. Janssen,

Thank you for your magical fingers! I had surgery on July 7, 2014, and you worked a miracle on my LL5-S1 as far as I am concerned. I was calling you the Wizard of Oz (did you hear that?) since I had never met you until minutes before surgery! Thank you for the work you did, and healing me so I can live my life again!

Warm Regards,
Brooke
