Best of the best
Over the last several years I had fallen numerous times, coming close to serious head injuries. My gait was unsteady and I could barely walk. I learned that my cervical spine was moderately to severely compressed. It was recommended that I see Dr. Jallo. I was so apprehensive but as soon as I met him, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Jallo explains things in understandable terms and has a natural ability to reassure patients in a positive yet realistic way. His staff is so knowledgeable, helpful, and approachable. I had decompression of c3 to t1 7 weeks ago and I’m walking normally again and my sense of balance is stabilized and improving everyday. I have my life back thanks to Dr. Jallo.

Just great from the start!
Dr. Jallo and his staff are just amazing! From day 1, everyone was efficient, polite, and extremely helpful. I had some concerns about my surgery, but everyone made sure I was comfortable and all my questions were answered. If you are thinking of any procedures by Dr. Jallo...do not hesitate to get it done. Best decision I ever made! I would also like to say that Donnamarie and Gia from Dr. Jallos office, made my wife and I feel very comfortable. They answered every question we had and also made sure that all my testing was done promptly. I had a few other offices try and get my medical imaging organized and that was not very efficient. Donnamarie and Gia had my medical imaging and testing approvals done within days! I was blown away by the office staff and the efficiency. I have had 5 surgeries in my lifetime and never had any office as fantastic as Dr. Jallo.

Thank you Dr Jallow for being an exceptional person, and the greatest Dr I've had the privilege of meeting , sincerely Shawn giberson

Saved my life
Dr. Jallo is the best. He has a wonderful bedside manner. Is always well dressed and presented. He is not ever in a rush to cut you open. He makes sure to explain all options and what he thinks will help. He fused me from C-4 to C-7 and cadaver bone between C6-C7in my neck and operated on my L5-S-1. I trust him completely.

I have my life back !!!
Spinal decompression and fusion L2-L5 I suffered with nerve pain in my right leg for 9 months. I saw 6 different doctors before seeing Dr. Jallo. My surgery at Jefferson hospital was 6 hours. When I got out of bed for the first time it was like someone flipped a light switch. The pain in my right leg was completely gone. When I saw Dr. Jallo for the first time after surgery I said to him it must be really awsome to have the skills to affect someones life like that. I will recommend Dr. Jallo and his team to anyone that needs to have something like this done. He is my go to doctor for ever.

Spinal fusion
I’ve been to many doctors over the years and I’ve learned to do my homework and trust my instincts, the minute I met Dr. Jallo and heard him speak. I realized I had picked the right surgeon. No question was too small for him and he was very thorough in his explanations. the hospital staff and the nurses and office staff have been wonderful to me. I could barely walk when I walked into the doctors office. today I am walking and I am grateful. It was a 6 1/2 hour surgery, when I woke up I knew the pain that originally took me to the doctors office was gone I am five weeks out of surgery and it is amazing how far I’ve come. the doctors aftercare has been excellent. You will never feel like you are alone. I would highly recommend Dr. Jallo and his team.

My Spinal Fusion
Dr. Jallo performed my 6 1/2 hour spinal fusion and laminectomy on February 6th. I can't believe how well I am doing not quite 5 months later. I have no back pain and the numbness in my feet is slowly improving. I just had my 4 1/2 month Xray and follow up appointment with Dr. Jallo. He is a miracle worker. His whole team did an outstanding job. I am extremely grateful!

Dr. Jallo and his team are the best.
I started see Dr. Jallo in January for my neck surgery and he and his team really put me at ease regarding my procedure. He explained what the procedure was and what was going to happen to me.Although I was a little apprehensive he and his team made me feel I was in the best of hands and I was. After the surgery Dr. Jallo checked up on me and made sure I was doing OK. I give kudos to Dr Jallo and his team for making my procedure as comfortable and easy as possible. If I had to do this all again I wouldn't go to anyone but Dr.Jallo He is the best!!!!!!!!!!

5th Surgery is the charm!
Dr. Jallo, has the most amazing bedside manner. He or one of his team doctors came to see and monitor me every day at the hospital. He has the most amazing energy and positivity about him. He did a decompression, fusion and revision of my lumbar spine where I had been numb from the prior surgery of another doctor and suffering from pain in my groin to the point I could not walk. Immediately after awakening from surgery the numbness and pain was gone and it has not returned. He also removed 4 screws and rods from previous surgeries therefore, I am happy to have had the privilege of having him perform my surgery.

Neurosurgery by Dr Jallo
Dr Jallo and his team are spectacular. I underwent a Laminectomy C3 to T1 2/8/23. Dr Jallo explained very thoroughly on the first visit the surgical procedure, what to expect post surgery and the anticipated recovery time. Took the time to listen to concerns and answer questions. Day of surgery, his team went over imaging, surgical plan again, and precautions that would be in place following surgery. His staff kept my contact in the waiting room updated every step of the way so she could keep my family informed. They were appreciative. Thank you Dr Jallo
