I even bought a walking cane. I did my due diligence in finding a neurosurgeon who had the years experience behind him and the reviews to verify his skills and confidence.  I knew by his reviews that I wanted Dr. Johans before I ever met him. He's a diamond in the rough. His staff is extremely professional and serious about their work being part of his team.  He's a sought-after-surgeon yet spends the appropriate time listening to you, and establishing a teaching rapport with you on what is causing your pain and exactly what he can do to heal you. https://youtu.be/eHfzpaseck8 I am only a post-second day patient and hardly experiencing any pain but rating it at 1 on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being best because I think I ought to have pain, but I'm not feeling it right now at the end of a second day. The pain rating I had with sciatica for many years was between 8 and 10 and that's after a couple of minutes of walking; I would be looking for a wheelchair or a place to rest.  I also knew that the longer I waited, the worst the sciatica would get. I have no need of the post-surgery-pain medicine except I am diligently using ice pack belts from Walgreens, and the back brace he provides. Me and my family are grateful beyond imagination that I can have a new outlook on life at 68, and that I will be able to distance walk again with my grand kids, family and friends, God willing back to my Zumba classes that I loved, and now have the ability to be more proactive in improving my heart health.  I know I need to do my part in this recovery and beyond, and believe me I will dutifully follow his lead. All I can say is I am thankful, I am thankful, I am thankful for the healing hands of Dr. Johans.  Without any hesitation, I would recommend him to my own family and dearest friends.

The very best sign that he's awesome: Our kidney transplant surgeon (who is a professor at the medical school at the University of Utah) was happy to release us to Dr. Mallea for follow-up care because, in his words, "If I ever have kidney trouble, I'd want Dr. Mallea to be my doctor."

I've tried all the major migraine medications and pain medication management, but at the time I began seeing Dr Whitaker I was having 2-4 migraines per week and lived with a headache most of the time. Dr Whitaker used a combination of medication changes, osteopathic manipulation, injections, and Cefaly in my treatments. At this point I am down to 1-2 migraines every 10 days, don't live with a plain headache every day and am ecstatic with the results. It is awesome to be off the pain meds, muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatory meds. I am so thankful he is in the Boise area and that I am continuing to improve-life is so much more enjoyable and fulfilling.

When I first saw him I was coming from having spent 5 years feeling as though I were crazy, and that nothing could be done. I was initial told by my previous neurologist that I had pseudo tumor cerebri (that's the old term, I forget the new term for it), but none of the meds were working. I was very frustrated and depressed. Dr Djernes was kind, patient, and thorough. The first thing he did was send me to a doctor for pain management, he was the only one to ever address this issue, then to an eye specialist. He did more for me in the first two visits than the other 2 had done in 8 years, definitely glad I found him.

I had to wait a few weeks before I wrote this review, as I wanted to make sure it wasn't written…read moreemotionally. I have now had some time to cool down and am ready to leave my recommendation. I first became a patient of Dr. Djernes one year ago. He was referred to me by another physician, thus I never questioned or researched my options. Dr. Djernes has a very quirky personality. He can come off a bit demeaning in his approach, but on the flipside he is really very good at explaining medical terms in everyday English. I do find him to be a bit nonchalant, which makes it hard to tell how concerned he really is for you as a patient. I tried to look for the positives, my husband however was frustrated with him from day one. His office staff is kind of hit and miss. When I first began going here, the front desk was helpful and friendly and the nurses were quick to respond to your needs and provide excellent follow up. For some reason, as of late I feel like things have gone downhill. I recently experienced a very very frustrating situation, which in my opinion was unacceptable and has left me feeling strongly that I should find a new neurologist. I had been working on getting a prescription transferred from one specialty pharmacy to another due to insurance changes. Dealing with insurance is a whole other can of worms....anyways when I finally felt I was getting close to approval (now out of meds and needing a prior auth from my physician) the ENTIRE office (minus one very unhelpful receptionist) went on vacation for one week. No backup physician for emergencies, no nurse, absolutely no one! I was shocked. And told to go to the ER if it was an emergency. Yes, because I am sure the ER is qualified to authorize a very expensive, specialty medication for an MS patient. When the office did return, I felt no sense of urgency to take care of my need. Needless to say, I was out of medication a total of 3 weeks. The most frustrating part is there was never an apology for leaving me hanging for so long. A neurologist is obviously kind of a big deal, if you need one. So I kind of feel like the patients should be too. I dunno maybe I am just high maintenance.....
