Dr. J Noonan

He never spent more than 7-10 mins with me, nor did he go over multiple MRI reports, etc to explain ANYTHING. Just an attitude that he believed no surgical intervention worth his time was needed. No acknowledgement of My lost reflexes x4, muscle mass/tone & paresthesias growing from hands/feet to elbows/knees. Pre-lockdown, set appt 4 acute increasing bilateral loss of motor+sensory ability. Called me <30hr b4 visit w/ option PA Televisit or NO VISIT! Post lockdown staff unable to "find" me in pt records,need new referral!! Had new MRIs, tried to schedule appt again..receptionist(!?)faxed PCP: "NO visit is NEEDED"per MD(not Noonan). No other explanation! Searching 4 new Dr is hard mid-crisis and with loss of feeling & function now 90% likely permanent. {FYI: Noonan is ORTHOPEDIC surgeon with a "focus" on spinal surgery.} Some patients need neurosurgeons, not orthos. I needed honesty & a referral elsewhere and/or further imaging cause MRI artifact by implant•

If I could give him zero stars, I would. He claimed I was not a candidate for surgery. His suggestion was to take up jogging. I spent another 2 years on pain pills, found a good pain doctor who said I needed surgery. He sent me to another surgeon who looked at the same MRI/x-rays as well as updated images and diagnosed me with a broken vertebrea that had fallen and caused nerve damage. No change in that time, yet Noonan didn't catch it. Had PLIF and my back pain is gone! I strongly suggest 2nd opinions! This surgeon caused me irreparable nerve damage that effects my feet now and I spent more time in excruciating back pain because of his lack of good medical expertise. Get a 2nd opinion!

When I first came to Dr. Noonan, I had been in pain management for 5 years. Had all kinds of procedures, pain was getting worse. I was in agony. Had pain in lower back, legs, numbness in feet. Nothing seemed to work. Then I had a bad fall. Now pain was excruciating. Couldn’t walk, was terrified I might never walk and still have the pain. I gave up all hope. My Primary Dr. gave me a referral to Dr. Noonan. Said he had heard great things about his work. I feared spine surgery but I went to him. Noonan was very compassionate, informative, asked pertinent questions about my problem. Sent me for a MRI, in 7 days April 15th 2021 I was in surgery. Had a Laminectomy on L4 and L5 they were in bad shape. He put rods, screws, cage and did a fusion. It’s been 6 mos. I’am walking, near pain free, leg pain gone numbness is gone. I feel so Blessed! Noonan gave my life back to me. THANK YOU! Dr. Noonan you are a MIRACLE sent by GOD. I would be so glad to recommend Noonan to anyone I meet. Your a 10.

Following months of participating in the various protocols recommended (ex: pain management, acupuncture, etc.), Dr. Noonan did surgery on my spine, which had been operated on previously a dozen years ago. Rather than removing rods and replacing them with longer ones, he inserted a cage. It has been 1 1/2 months since the procedure and I am feeling such relief! Both he and I could do nothing but smile when last I saw him.

Worst doctor visit ever!! He didn't even care to look at my file before he came in and talk to me. First words to me was I don't know why I'm here and you're just wasting peoples money! Never see him again!!

Worst doctor visit ever. It would be zero stars if I can do that. Didn't even look at my files and very rude to me. Said I don't know why I'm here you're just wasting peoples money had no idea that I had it back injury! He thought I just went to a surgeon because I had that sore back on his opinion by not looking at my files. Very rude very upsetting emotionally. But I wouldn't recommend this guy to anybody he's in a hole

Dr. Noonan has helped me get my life back. I've been suffering with back pain for years. I was not ready to have the down time from major surgery, He told me about 6 years ago that I would know when it was time, he was right last October 2020 I could not deal with the pain any longer. I had been on pain meds for about 8 years. It was finally time to have surgery. Needless to say I was scared to death, of having all that hardware in my back. Had surgery a couple of days before Thanksgiving. This is April I'm completely healed and working again, limitations on lifting. For the first few weeks after surgery, I won't lie, it was tuff, when the acute pain subsided, what a relief. My only regret is I did not do it sooner. The whole stay at the hospital was very comfortable at Good Samaritan, I would highly recommend. Thank you to every one that helped me especially the nurse that helped me tie my shoes the day was released. Just can't say enough about every one there.

It's been awhile only because I needed to cool off from the worst physician visit in my 86 years. Reception was just fine but the visit went straight down from there. Spent an hour waiting in the exam room. No contact. When finally showing up all I got was the most egotistical, uncaring doctor in the world. All I got from him was a lecture on how to be brief in describing my pain. He stated that he has a law that allows him to silence a patient after 10 seconds if he feels the need. This is not a doctor I would recommend to anyone.

A miracle worker! I lived with debilitating pain for a month before L4-L5 herniated disc surgery. Within days after the surgery I felt like I had returned to the condition I was in before this injury. That is why I consider Dr Noonan a miracle worker.

I had increasing back pain for over a year. I tried everything to avoid surgery, P.T., Injections, Chiropractor, nothing helped. Finally gave up and reluctantly had a laminectomy. Wow, woke up with zero pain! I was amazed. Dr Noonan is my hero. He gave me my life back;

I had a fusion of L4 and L5 in September of 2019. Before that date I had so much pain just doing daily living. Standing or walking or just doing normal household chores was so painful. My feet would even become numb. Now I can do most of my normal routine. I am still in physical therapy and almost done with that. Looking forward to the new me in this new year. Dr. Noonan has made this possible for me.

I highly recommend Dr Noonan. I recently had lumbar surgery. The results were well beyond my highest expectations. Before the surgery I was in excruciating pain for over 2 months, day and night. It was getting worse every day. I could barely get around the house with a walker. I wondered how I could possibly live with this if it continued. Now, two weeks after surgery the excruciating pain is nearly gone and improving. Numbness is gone. I feel that my life and future have been restored. If you need spinal surgery I highly recommend Dr Noonan.

Dr. Noonan is an excellent person and Doctor. He pays attention to detail and asks pertinent questions to pinpoint the problems, then does excellent work in OR. He found a crushed L5 vertibrea and performed a laminectomy, which solved that problem and some other issues with leg and foot numbness. I am extremely happy with Dr. Noonan's exceptional care and talent. I have no more pain or numbness. Thank you Dr. Noonan

Dr. Noonan gave me my life back. I teach dance for the Community College and I also DJ. The pain running down my legs was so bad that I couldn't do what I loved anymore. I could walk from my recliner to the bathroom and back to the recliner again. Dr. Noonan operated on my lower back and did a laminectomy. I woke up in the recovery room with no pain! After being in agony for a year and a half I was so relieved. It is a miracle. Dr. Noonan was wonderful, informative and compassionate! Awesome!

He absolutely healed my back and gave me back my life and hope when I had none!

Dr. Noonan is incredible!! He pays close attention when in conversation, explains things very thoroughly and always makes time to be sure I am comfortable with everything. I had some pre surgical issues that needed to be addressed. He not only did the research, he called me several times to discuss it and also had an anesthesiologist call me as well. Surgery went perfectly and i am no longer in pain. I highly recommend Dr. Noonan and would never hesitate to refer friends and family to him.
