Dr. Arthur Ulm, MD

Dr Ulm and his great staff are the best ever…I would drive across country, if I needed to, to get to him.

Dr. Ulm and PA, Darice Spackman honestly saved my life. I had an extremely large brain tumor and they rushed my surgery to remove it. They were informative and spent a lot of time with my husband and I explaining the procedure and the outcomes both good and bad of it. When it came time for surgery, Darice came in to talk again at pre-registration to see if I had any questions or concerns. Much of it is a fog after pre-reg, I remember seeing them in the operating room and they kept my family up-to-date every hour during surgery, which they were extremely grateful for. I am grateful that I came out of the surgery with no side effects that required any form of Physical Therapy. I was completely blessed by this and thank God everyday for sending me to this office and having them as my Surgical Doctors. Everyone was nice from the doctors at the facility, the PA's and the office staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Ulm, PA Darice Spackman and his staff! I am completely thankful!

I have had lower backpain for 4 years. I was very disappointed at my last visit with Dr Ulm. I expected EMG report on my back. They didnt test my back nerves, only my legs. The Dr asked me to show him where my pain was, then his phone rang and he excused himself. He came back and said I needed a back brace and left to have the nurse start insur. Procedure to get one. He never came back. I had some questions. I know they are busy but i sure feel gaslighted! No one will address the pain I have. One nurse said my pain didnt match her dermatone map, she is the one who decided I need an emg on my legs, not my back. Ive read many good reviews on Dr Ulm and maybe if he had stayed with me to complete my appointment I would have something great to say.

Cannot say better things about Dr Ulm and his staff. They always listened to everything I said even though I know I talked their heads off at every appointment. I trust them with my health and I am where I am today because they're the best. Thank you.

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. The office was wonderful with suggesting Physical Therapy that was convenient to my workplace. I completed my PT and I’m so happy to report that PT solved the issue! I haven’t had pain in a few months now! I ended up having trouble paying online and the office was so kind and accommodating and was able to help! I feel confident that if I were to have any issues in the future Dr. Ulm and his team will be my first call! I would highly suggest him and his team!

We moved here 3 years ago this October my husband had surgery from Dr Ulm, on his neck back and both hand in 2 years a total of 4 surgeries, my husband could hardly walk tie his shoes. Lay in his bed he has slept in a recliner for 5 years he now cares for himself and can sleep lying down. Dr Ulm, bed side manner is tops he also Needs to be CLONED. LOL HE'S THAT GOOD. FREDERICK AND MARY WALKER THANKS HIM AND HIS STAFF THEY ARE WONDERFUL.

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 office were all professional and courteous. I will eventually have to have surgery on my lower back and I have no reservations of having it done by Dr. Ulm. I can’ t thank Dr. Ulm and his staff enough.

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.

Very caring and a great listener as well!

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.

My mom had surgery with Dr. Ulm 2 years ago. When my doctor told me I also had cervical stenosis, i knew Dr. Ulm was who I wanted to see. He done a great job on my neck. my pain is gone and i feel like a new person! Thank you Dr. Ulm!

I called to ask about an appointment with Dr. Ulm for a second a opinion pertaining to spine surgery. I told the office person that I already have the tests and know I need surgery. And I wanted to see the Dr. not the NP. I was told I had to go through the Nurse practitioner on a Tues and then I could ask to see the Doctor and "if possible" he would come in and talk with me. The woman at the office said I may or may not get to see him. When I told her I already know I need surgery and wanted to see the Dr. she said "Okay then" "Bye" and hung up on me!! What kind of office is this? I have never been hung up on by a anyone at a physicians office. I hope the call was recorded and this type of response will not continue to happen to prospective patients.

I have been an R.N. at Skyline Med. Center for 16 years, I know which surgeons are good. When my son was diagnosed with a brain tumor this past Monday Dr Ulm was right there. My son has no insurance which made no difference to Dr Ulm, Skyline, or the staff. Dr Ulm did surgery on Wed. As far as his N.P., she most certainly exists and is extremely knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. We are early in the process but I have been very impressed with the care my son has received so far.

Dr. Ulm is tops! He is so professional. I had a coiled aneurysm in June 2015 and a clipped aneurysm in August 2015. I believe he saved my life twice.

Dr. Ulm clipped two aneurysms in my brain and did excellent work, I could have not had a better surgeon. Was taking care of by his staff and loved all of them. 3 month post-op and I don't have any problems. Everybody was so friendly and helpful.

Words cannot adequately describe my gratitude for Dr. Ulm and his staff. After experiencing debilitating headaches for weeks coupled with changes to my vision I was referred to Dr. Ulm for a brain tumor, his staff accommodated my request to be seen ASAP and I met his PA, Darice on my first visit, she was kind and explained my condition thoroughly, I went back to meet Dr. Ulm the following week to discuss & schedule surgery. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. They saved my life.

I owe my life to Dr. Ulm. I suffered a stroke and without his quick action I would not be here today. Thank God for him!

Most (if not all) of these “Excellent Reviews “ are actually done by his staff, so don’t believe everything you are reading. I know this to be 100% true for a fact. He doesn’t even have a nurse, even though she (Ronnie) says she is one, she is not even a certified MA. Don’t be fooled

Went to his office twice and never saw him. I saw his nurse twice. he was supposed to see me and discuss surgery but never showed up. I left and found another doctor to fix my neck.
