Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible
I will never know how Dr.Geibel would have helped me with my condition. The staff or nurse should have sent my order for an MRI to the imaging center my insurance was in-network with. Twice I had to go in person to ask what needs to be done. They gave me a number to text and I did many many times and they or she never responded whatsoever or never responded to my calls. Never have I been treated this way by any doctor’s staff. Horrible.

Neck pain
Dr Geibel was very helpful with some solutions to my neck pain. I truly appreciate that he took the time to listen to me & explain the situation with my neck. I would definitely recommend him as a spinal doctor.

Dr Geibel is an amazing surgeon.
I saw Dr Geibel because I was needing back surgery. Dr Geibel explained everything about m back surgery where I could completely understand. His team worked with my insurance and got me scheduled for surgery. The hospital he recommended was amazing. I was treated very well before, during and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr Geibel. He is very caring and so is every member of his team. Im so thankful my primary care doctor referred me to Dr Geibel. Thank you Dr Geibel for taking care of me!

Dr Geibel Listens to you
I appreciate the fact that Dr Geibel respects my decisions about what medications I decide to take or not take. He listens to my concerns about narcotic meds and my wish NOT to take them due to all the side effects they have on my body. He is very concerned about after surgery care as well. Great Doctor. SO glad I found him.

Back surgery went like clockwork from the first office visit to the post op care. My husband is pain free for the first time in years. Don't be afraid of the back surgery if you are seeing Dr. Geibel. The results have been more than we could have hoped for. His staff goes above and beyond to make the entire process seamless.

Dr. Geibel has been the back surgeon for my husband, and myself - all with excellent results. He is very patient to explain x-rays and procedures and South Texas Spine and Surgical Hospital is top-notch. A local surgeon told me I was too old at the time (60 yrs. old) to have a minimally invasive procedure to repair a buldging disc and pinched nerve - so I suffered with this condition for several years until I could no longer hardly walk, drive, sit or stand - finally I heard about Dr. Geibel. It was a long drive to San Antonio from where we lived - but well worth the effort. Immediately after surgery, I was relieved of pain and able to walk, drive, sit, stand and sleep at night without interruption. Ten (10) years later, at the age of 70, I get around just as good at age 60. I do have to limit the weight I pick up, I am careful about too much exercise - but I am very pleased with the results.

Dr. Geible is the Best. He is a gentleman and a great surgeon. Do to my line of work I continued to hurt my back. I went back to Dr. Geible and he put me through physical therapy before suggesting surgery. The surgery always relieved my pain. I trust this doctor with any spinal problems I have. He gives you all the time you need and encourages questions.
