Dr David Oehme's interactions with patients are professional and skilled. He achieves successful outcomes for various complex spinal operations. Many patients report significant relief from chronic pain and an improved quality of life. Key areas of his care include lumbar back issues, spinal fusion, laminectomy, and cervical neck surgery.
The whole process from consultation , surgery, rehabilitation and follow-up post operation was excellent. Dr Oehme and his team were professional and caring thoughout the process. The videos explained the surgery extremely well and this helped me make the decision to have the operation having a clearer understanding of what was to happen.
I would like to recommend mr Oehme to anyone for any surgery required.
Dr Oehme isn't the first doctor I consulted regarding my condition, but I'm so glad I did. All my doubts and worries have been addressed and he is very knowledgeable in his craft. My life is back to normal.
Meeting Mr Oehme to discuss my ongoing back issues and constant pain was the best decision I could have made. From the moment I met him, I instantly felt at ease and comfortable. His bedside manner is exceptional. When he speaks with you, he looks directly at you and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. He is highly professional, yet still happy to share a laugh when appropriate. His office staff are also among the very best. Nothing is ever a problem for them, and they are always prompt and helpful when providing information or assistance. I cannot express enough how truly wonderful Mr Oehme is — a genuine gentleman who is caring, understanding, and dedicated to his patients. He visited me twice daily and reassured me that I could contact him anytime if needed. Most importantly, my surgery was highly successful and I am now pain free. I would highly recommend Mr Oehme to anyone suffering from back problems. Thank you, Mr Oehme, and to your entire team. You should all be very proud of the excellent work and care you provide. Carmen
Dear Dr Oahme, I would like to sincerely thank you for your professional care and support during my back operation. I am feeling so much better since the surgery.

Kind regards, Vivian
