I was dealing with some major neck issues for almost a month and was recommended to see Dr. Ulm. I was able to be scheduled for a consultation quickly and met with his NP Rachel. She was very kind, compassionate and empathetic to my concerns and anxiety as this was a new issue for me. Rachel was also able to pinpoint the exact area of discomfort which was confirmed with a MRI. Very impressive!! Dr. Ulm suggested physical therapy, which made me very happy and never once rushed or made me feel like surgery was the only option.... read more

This is an update since Dr. Robert Mericle performed a Microvascular Decompression on my trigeminal nerve in 2017. I am still 100% pain free and medication free since the successful MVD for Classic Trigeminal Neuralgia. I researched most of the neurosurgeons east of the Mississippi River in order to find the most experience with treating trigeminal neuralgia. He was actually 98% more experienced than his peers treating this rare condition according the Healthgrades which is unbiased. I didn't want the best neurosurgeon in th... read more

I was having issues with neck pain and losing strength in my upper body. I had previously seen another surgeon about this problem and I was more satisfied with Dr. Ulm’s detailed explanation of what the issue was and what the procedure would entail to resolve my problem. I had the procedure done and am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Ulm to anyone needing spinal surgery. It is so refreshing to find a Dr. that cares about his patients and will take the time to answer any concerns. His staff at the of... read more

Dr. Ulm is the best surgeon and had it not been for him, I would not be here today. I had a stroke in December 2018 and was on death's doorstep when Dr. Ulm got to me. I would recommend him for anyone needing brain or back surgery. He is so professional and all of his staff is number one also. I thank Dr. Ulm and will never be able to say thank you enough because I am here today because of him.

I have been a patient approximately for 8 years. He tried injection, but they didn't work. After years in pain, my last resort was back surgery. I am pain free and feel like a different person. I highly recommend Dr. Ulm, he will be the last neurosurgeon you will have to see. Friendly and to the point. He also has the best staff imaginable.

I saw Darice to evaluate my neck pain. She was outstanding in explaining what she thought was going on. Dr. Ulm then followed up by personally calling the pain doctor to schedule injections to help with my pain.

Dr. Ulm and his staff are the cream of the crop!! He did surgery for my husbands spinal stenosis and the results and care are excellent. It’s been a little over a year now and my husband continues to improve. They are a great team and his PA is always a pleasure to see. Thank all of you for being so professional and caring. P.
