I have been diagnosed with several bone and joint related problems in my back that need surgery. I…read more previously had a lumbar laminectomy to help minimize pain. That surgery was performed by a surgeon in Las Vegas. That surgery was considered a minimally invasive surgery. However, it took me nearly 5 months to heal enough to return to work without significant pain. The bigger issue was that I had more issues post surgery than I did before. I developed numbness in both legs and down to my feet as well as having strong shocks down my legs. I was referred to Dr. Arthur Ulm to help me with this issue. He agreed I wad a candidate for surgery given the symptoms I was presenting. I had surgery 4 weeks ago, and feel like a million bucks! He did an amazing job! Not only do I have relief from the aches and pains of joint issues, but the shocks going down my legs to my feet are gone! I haven't had this much pain and discomfort relief in over 8 years. He knows what he's doing for sure. His staff was attentive and helpful to me and my wife. He was very communicative and prepared. I felt very comfortable gabbing this work done under his charge. I would recommend him for anyone asking about him. Very happy with the result!

This was my first visit to Howell Clinic and honestly it started off as one of the most frustrating…read morecheck-in experiences I've ever had. I stood in line for 36 minutes just to check in. What makes it even more ridiculous is that I already completed the online check-in the day before. Yet when I finally got to the desk, I still had to hand over my driver's license and insurance card and verbally verify all the same information that was supposedly completed online. So what exactly is the point of online check-in if patients still have to redo everything at the front desk? Standing in a crowded waiting room line for over half an hour when you're not feeling well isn't a great first impression. The process feels extremely inefficient and defeats the entire purpose of offering online registration in the first place. Hopefully the medical care is better than the check-in process, but based on the first experience, the front-end system definitely needs some serious improvement.

He talked me into THREE different cervical…read morefusions and a painful laminectomy over two years - NONE OF THEM MADE ANY DIFFERENCE in my problems. He gets chiropractors to recommend him and then he does his sales job. No doctor I know will work with him. Any doctor that I've spoken to, when I say his name, tries to professionally change the topic. STAY AWAY! He plays a good PR game, all buddy-buddy, then does mediocre, if that, work.

If I could give 0 stars I would. This man nearly cost me my life. He did a double spinal fusion…read more(ALIF/PLIF) and replaced 2 disks in my spine with disk cages and took bone grafts from my hips and painted it like it was a minor surgery. Guaranteed me I could run again within a month and that I'd be able to jump without pain by the 6 week follow up appt. That appt almost never came for me. My left hip incision was done horribly. The steristrips were dipping into my incision and it had issues closing. From right after the first surgery (it was a 2 part surgery, 2 different surgeries, 2 days apart), I was in horrific pain. My BP was low in the hospital. He allowed me to be released with extremely low BP. I called with a BP 70/40 and he told me to just stop taking pain pills, despite being on them for over a year and never having BP issues. This went on for 2 weeks. Then my incision, which was closed, popped back open and was warm to the touch, red, and was pussing. I came into his office barely conscious, fever of 103, and he told me I just had a low pain tolerance and I was being "babied" too much and told his nurse not to help me off the table (I couldn't even stay awake) and told me to walk on my own. Then sent me away. I was driven home by my sister and went to sleep and she couldn't wake me up. I was in septic shock. By the time she got me to the hospital I was near dead. I was delirious with an almost non-existent BP and super high HR. Cultures came back as Group A Strep Sepsis and was of critical value. he tried to DISCHARGE me as he said I "didn't look septic". They had to have a hospitalist step in to stop my discharge and re-order all my imaging. According to the hospitalist there were 3 of his patients with infections on the same floor. He literally tried to kill me for the sake of his own reputation. I have permanent heart and autoimmune issues because he was so negligent and reckless. He has lost his license in the state of KY and lost his privileges at multiple local hospitals, including St Thomas Midtown because of what he did to me. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN, he is DANGEROUS.
