Dr. Jimmy Zhu, MD

He spent a lot of time with me explaining every detail. He gave me the pros and cons of spinal surgery for me. Friendly very knowledgeable and he looks like he should be in high school! I highly recommend this doctor, his credentials are impeccable. Great experience.

I have had spinal issues for many years and finally decided to take care of some issues that progressed with my neck. Dr. Zhu was so thorough in his explanation of my issues as well making me feel comfortable and taking the time to walk me through the process. I could not have expected a better outcome from any doctor. Dr Zhu has my gratitude for giving me back my life, I am so lucky my G.P. recommended him. Dr. Zhu and his staff took me through the who process they handled everything all I had to do was show up. I highly recommend Dr. Zhu, he is the only doctor I will see when it comes to any spine issues. Thank you for all you have done for me and my family

I have a history of spinal stenosis. 3 spots. 2 crushed disks in my neck. A failed backsurgery. I am in a ton of pain twenty 24/7. Life is hard at times. I'm having new pain above and below the fusion that I got in 2019. I have arthritis in both hips. I asked him to order mri CT or xray that he could take a look and decide if there's anything he can do to treat my pain through surgery. Im desperate! He tells me there's nothing surgically he can do for me! what? Without looking at anything, he had come to that decision, Instead he ordered a $12,500.00 shots in my hips. I have had eleven at medical communities and private practices. So I know thr price. Only one gave merelief in my neck for twenty hourI have my own pain management. Private practice that I go to so it couldn't be that. How can this guy be so obtuse? I've seen him twice and I am very disappointed that this guy is so ridiculous. Not going back to him and I don't recommend him. Stay away! A waste of time and money.

Dr Zhu is an amazing spinal surgeon. I have had many Doctors over the years and his approach to my issues was above all others. He gave me my life back with lower back surgery in February follow up with neck surgery in April. I absolutely recommend him what a great doctor.

I was the May 2nd 2023 review. When Dr. Zhu has to do surgery, he sets up for home health care after a surgery, where in my case an OT therapist came to the house once a week, then Dr. Zhu recommended physical therapy, which I was hesitant, but I did. I went to Athletico, they massage your back, make you do exercises, then at end massaging electrodes and heat . Physical therapy will get rid of scare tissue. Do what the Doctor orders!

Dr. Zhu is an honest and concern doctor. Giving his expertise he recommend holding off surgery. Although my injury seemed major on MRI. He suggested giving it time to heal naturally rather than rushing to surgery. I was amazed that his first thought was not surgery. I really appreciate his conservative approach which really built my trust with him. In the end it worked and my body healed very well with no need for surgery. An exceptional doctor. I recommend him 100%.

I was extremely nervous to see Dr. Zhu b/c my condition came out of the blue and was extremely serious. When I first met him he struck me as very young, but I had researched him and knew he was extremely educated and highly respected in his field. He immediately took charge of my case, created a step by step approach, and included my concerns. Dr. Zhu didn't rush, he carefully thought about my situation and presented the best option for me. Dr. Zhu included my family and respected their feelings. He made sure we all understood what was being done and how long the recovery could be. Prior to surgery, he called me numerous times to touch base and go over procedures. I informed him of a surgical fear I have and he took that serious, making sure it was addressed prior to the anesthesia beginning. Every follow up appointment has been the same as my first appointment had been. He still tells me to call with any questions and I know he will answer. I would highly recommend Dr. Zhu.

I went to Dr Jimmy Zhu office because my wife was having a terrible back pain. The entire office is amazing. Dr Jimmy Zhu cares about patients a lot, you can feel that when he talks to you. He answered all the questions that my wife had without rushing things. He helped my wife understand why she was doing through that pain after reviewing the MRI with us explaining the whole things in a language that we can easily understand. Other members in office were also very helpful, Arely PSR was amazing, she was very helpful with all the paperwork that we needed from Dr office. Thank you. Dr Jimmy Zhu & Arely. I would highly recommend this office & Dr Jimmy Zhu as they will do their best to help you out.

Very easy process and a good experience. Loved Dr Zhu’s confidence and ability to answer all questions in a very detailed and professional manner. Dr Zhu is Compassionate, respectful, does not rush through appointments, and looks you straight in the eye when he shakes your hand. This guy is someone who loves what he’s doing. THANK YOU Dr Zhu. Cya soon

Dr Zhu is amazing. Felt relief after surgery. THANK YOU ?? we will definitely recommend you. See you soon.

For over 20 years I've had recurring back pain and leg numbness as a result of lower back disc compression. After my latest such recurrence, I'd finally had enough. My visit to Edward/Elmhurst urgent care, in crippling pain, lead me to the services of Dr. Zhu. After his initial viewing of the CT I had done at urgent care, and the x-rays he had ordered, he simply asked what took me so long to see a spine specialist? He assured me that he could help. A short time later, he performed a laminectomy, and now 6 weeks after surgery and physical therapy, I am fully recovered and pain free. I am very glad that I finally sought help, and grateful for the expertise or Dr. Zhu. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking relief from chronic back pain.

Dr. Zhu performed an L5-S1 fusion for me. His communication before, at the hospital, and for all follow-ups has been amazing! I sent a non-urgent question to him via MyChart late one afternoon and he called me at 8:00 PM that evening. It was above & beyond. More importantly, his skills as a surgeon have allowed me to get back to exercising after 12 weeks. Before going into the surgery he said "This surgery normally takes about 2 hours but I won't stop until I am satisfied that we have achieved the best possible outcome for you." The is exactly what he did. I would strongly recommend him!

My visit today was a 4 week post surgery check up. My severe pain and tingling sensation in my back is gone. Very pleased with the results of my spine surgery.

My name is John Amegatse. I was referred to Dr. Zhu with severe right leg pain about 2 months ago. After the first visit, he asked me to go for MRI of the lower spine. From the result he saw my pain was due to compression of the nerves in the lower right spinal column. He offered me ways it can be treated. He was so patient and respectful, very professional and very knowledgeable. He even allowed me to call my wife on the phone and it was like I was his only patient. We chose surgery due to the confidence he showed. I was scheduled and he arranged for home health for me. Oh the day of surgery he came to talk to me and my wife. He assured us he would do everything to make me feel well again. Before I woke up from anesthesia he had gone back to assure her everything went well. Post op office visit was good my condition improved quickly and I would be going back to work soon. He is such a great young Dr. And I hope Edwards Hospital will recognize and keep him for his wonderful work.
