Glassman Jerel, DO

Dr. Glassman is great. He does osteopathic treatments for back pain that are covered by insurance. Traditionally, a DO will spend an hour doing a full body treatment, and he only has half hour appointments after the 1^st one. But it’s still pretty great, and can be helpful for a lot of people. There aren’t a lot like this doctor.
He can also refer to the other doctors in the clinic if you need further types of treatment.

Caring, compassionate and knowledgable. I started seeing Dr. Glassman very recently but I already know that I can trust my continued care with him.

I’m still seeing Dr Glassman (have been trying to avoid neck surgery). The cool thing is, he always knows what areas of my body need the most work even without my telling him. He is SO nice, not to mention a genius, dude knows his stuff inside and out. He manages to spend all the time with you that you need for an appointment, but ALWAYS (in my experience) runs on time. Today I had a flareup of my condition, I was at St Mary’s anyway, he (& his staff, who are also great)-‘squeezed’ me in. Dr Glassman took my pain level today from about a 8 to a 3. Now that’s magic.

i agree with everything said here. If you have spinal stenosis and have been told you need surgery go to Dr Glassman first and see if he can help you with NO surgery or drugs. Back surgery can be painful and dangerous. He is the best i have found and i have been dealing with this issue for over 15 years.

Outstanding. Still remember this doctor, 20 years after he helped me overcome herniated L5 and L4 discs in my spine, without surgery, using physical therapy.
Thank you, Dr. Glassman. I’m now able to sail, snowboard, mountain bike and generally live life without pain.

I agree with every good thing that has been said about Dr. Glassman.
In addition to being an osteopath, he is a top physical medicine doctor, the kind you want to go to after an accident.
He is also one of the few post polio specialists, and with postpolio he really knows what he is talking about; he worked with one of the best early postpolio specialists.
if you use a wheelchair he is great at customization; in his early years he spent time with interdisciplinary teams that went to people who need their wheelchairs made more comfortable.
I can only say that I cannot imagine how I would have found an equally experienced post polio/​physical medicine specialist had I not been referred to Dr. Glassman.

Dr. Glassman is the best. He spends time with you and really fixes your issue. I wish that I could get a primary doctor that pays this much attention to me and my issues. You will not find a better osteopath out there…

Dr. Glassman is one of the best physicians I have ever encountered.
in a nutshell:
He spends time: I’ve never had that «time’s up» feeling if something remains to be addressed. The visit always is focused on the treatment and rather than on a schedule.
He treats the patient with respect. He listens to input and explains treatment options without over-​simplification. He essentially treats the patient as smart.
His demeanor which is quick to laugh — yet serious — lifts the mood and helps me deal with a serious condition.
I couldn’t recommend Dr. Glassman more highly.

Dr. Glassman is a great guy. He’s very attentive about his patients needs specially about the things that are not always physical. He addresses those with the same attention as your body. That’s what makes him a real doctor not just a prescription writer. I’d recommend Dr. Glassman for your orthopedic and other medical needs.

I second Kate’s review in spirit, though I didn’t have any x-​rays or surgery. I went in to have him check out some chronic back pain, and he was incredibly patient, thorough, and forthright. This was my first visit, and he spent at least an hour with me, possibly more, and unlike many doctors, I didn’t feel like he was one foot out the door the whole time, trying to get to his next patient. I’d highly recommend Dr. Glassman.

Doctor Glassman is a wonderful orthopedic surgeon that I would recommend in a heartbeat. He made me feel very comfortable in what was otherwise an uncomfortable and scary situation. Unlike other doctors I have seen, he took the time to review my x-​rays with me and explain what I was seeing and how that connected to how I was feeling. He has a great sense of humor and awesome mobiles to boot! (You’ll see what I mean when you go there) Dr. Glassman rules!
