Paul A Glazer

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Paul Glazer. He literally saved my life, well my ability to walk that is. I was in need of emergency surgery for a disc that had herniated so far into my spinal cord that I was losing the ability to feel below the waist. Paul Glazer performed the surgery in time and stitched me the neatest incision scar. He was kind and caring and most importantly he was a great surgeon. I can’t stress enough how many bad doctors I had seen up until I met Dr. Glazer. He restored *some of* my faith in the system. You don’t want just anyone operating around your spinal cord! Back pain is no joke and should not be taken lightly. Speak up if you’re feeling numbness, never stop advocating for yourself and 100% I would recommend calling Dr. Glazer.

I have been a patient of Dr. Glazer since 2003. He has done multiple fusions and surgeries on my spine with excellent structural work.He is the best, compassionate, cautious about surgery procedures if needed, responsive, consultative and just a good kind Dr. I consider him family and am a lifelong patient of him due to my condition.

He did my neck and my back surgeries and gave me my mobility back. That was seventeen years ago and at 60 I still lead an active live style.

I was in agony. I couldn't walk from sciatic pain down to my toes. The sciatic pain was gone after surgery. A tough surgery but necessary. I would highly recommend him.

Don't get to anyone but Dr. Paul Glazer - unless he refers you to them. He's the most brilliant, kind and compassionate surgeon I've ever met. I'm less than a month out post pretty extensive cervical spine surgery and I'm amazed at how I'm doing - beyond any expectation I could hope for. Just go to him - don't mess around.

Dr left me in the hospital after double back surgery and left the country. Knowing full well the anesthesiologist gave me way too much medicine during my surgery and then I was released without having moved my bowels. So I had to return to the hospital multiple times. Follow up with this surgeon is a joke to say the least.

My Mom has a degenerative disc/spine disorder. We are SO glad we met Dr Glazer and his staff in 2009 and came back to them again this year. They're a caring bunch of people....very patient with explanations and options. The surgery was a huge success for my Mom in 2009 - she was in her early 70's at the time. Now in 2021 - she needed a similar surgical process on a different part of her spine (2 different discs had collapsed). Now well into her 80's, we feared this would be more difficult. And while it's never easy at that age - they made her (and the rest of the family) confident in the process and confident in their care. Happy to report - since surgery in late July, she's fully recovered and on her own again! Pain has almost completely subsided - just occasional tylenol only 5 weeks after surgery! Dr Glazer's office (especially Brandon - thanks Brandon!!) continues to be supportive, follows up - and my Mom just loves them. Thanks so much gang - you made such a potentially scary process as good as it could have been. Our entire family is thankful for each and every one of you - THANK YOU!!

I recently had a discectomy with fusion on 2 discs in my lumbar spine. I came to Dr. Glazer after having seen 2 physiatrists, a neurosurgeon, and pain specialist in NH. A neurosurgeon at MGH reviewed my case and they all said I was not a surgical candidate. I self referred to Dr. Glazer in May after he was recommended to me by a friend. He ordered a discogram done by one of his colleagues, which was positive and this specialized test indicated I needed a surgical intervention. Dr. Glazer is the ultimate professional, he is highly skilled and does ongoing research to find the best surgical techniques for his patients. He is intelligent, compassionate, caring and a good listener. He is one of the best and brightest doctors, I have ever come in contact with, both personally and professionally. I work as a Nurse Practitioner and I will be referring patients to him in the future. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Glazer. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs spinal surgery.

The doctor never even touched me but wrote an entire four page History and Physical exam complete with reflexes, and extremity strength. He then suggested four surgeries four days apart on my back. AVOID.

10 years ago, Dr. Glazer saved my life! I will always be grateful to him for his great skill and the compassion he showed me. He rescued me, after months of other doctors kept me slowly twisting in the wind. I couldn't walk and could barely move while looking up at the ceiling for four and a half months in bed. I needed major surgery. After he operated, I could walk the next day. He deserves this accolade from me. 10 years ago, Dr. Glazer saved my life!

I have spent my life, after childhood, dealing with scoliosis. It got so bad that it really negatively impacted my quality of life. Dr Glazer fused a significant portion of my spine three years ago. Since then I have felt so much stronger, I don’t have pain, and look a lot better. I will be forever grateful. In my experience, he is very knowledgeable and skilled as well as compassionate.

Dr. Glazer is the top in his field. I have seen many doctors my whole life and he is extremely empathetic unlike others. I would recommend anyone suffering from any kind of spinal issue to see him. He is smart and truly cares for his patients.

(0 STARS) Learn how to schedule correctly....I showed up 20 minutes early for my appointment. I was told I had to wait another half an hour. Sadly, it ended up taking 1 1/2 hours and the guy at the front desk said it would maybe be another half hour before I would be seen. Two hours later and I was never seen. I will NEVER get that time back. They will NEVER have me back as a patient either. (0 STARS) Learn how to schedule correctly....I showed up 20 minutes early for my appointment.

I had an Mri on 3/4, Dr. Glazer called with my results on 3/5, I missed his call. I called him back within 10 minutes. The receptionist was rude and said to make sure I keep my phone on me. It's now been over 3 weeks since then. I have yet to receive a call back from anyone in the office. I've called multiple times and recieved the same rudeness each and every time. Still no call back while I suffer in pain. If I could give 0 stars I would, though they deserve negative stars. I'd call and complain but clearly that isn't going help as they do not return phone calls. "One and done" is apparently their motto. Extremely disappointed in an office that came highly recommended.

I am 27 years old and have been dealing with an array of spinal issues for 12 years. My issues include degenerative discs, an enlarged transverse process, SI pain, congenital defects, and facet joint problems. I have had surgery, and countless non-invasive options including injections, PT, massage, medications, chiropractics, holistic measures, etc. I came here as a last resort after being recommended a major surgery by another provider. Dr. Glazer and Dr. Gerges suggested a PRP injection followed by a course of 3 SI injections. After the PRP injection I no longer needed to use a cane, no longer needed assistance getting dressed, and could begin working out again. I have also not missed a single day of work in 3 months. I could not be more thankful to them for giving me my life back. I highly recommend. Regarding other reviews suggesting long wait times, I too have to wait a long time in the waiting room, however I have never personally felt rushed and plan my day around this appointment. For me personally, it is worth it as many Boston specialists have long wait times. I am 27 years old and have been dealing with an array of spinal issues for 12 years.

Dr. Glazer operated on me to correct my scoliosis in November of 2016. He did 3 operations over 3 days. These surgeries were life-saving for me. The hip pain I had made it difficult to walk prior to the surgeries. Now I'm working full-time and doing well. Dr. Glazer did the surgeries that other surgeons told me couldn't be done. I'm so grateful to him.

Dr. Glazer is a outstanding and well informed skilled Dr. I am pleased with his decisions and surgery advice as well. His office workers are very well informed and polite as well.

**WORST EXPERIENCE EVER ** I am a veteran for over 10 years, I have multiple bulging/degenerative discs and possibly more issues. I started having extreme pain since my 2011 deployment. I wear over 40 lbs of gear daily. I was sent to physical therapy twice by my primary care Dr and sent for cordizone shots twice with multiple non narcotic medications as well. All never helped with my pain. I finally request for a spine specialist to help and this is what I get.... Dr Glazers office rescheduled twice(due to emergency surgery). I finally get an appointment and it was confirmed. My wife and I were optimistic and were thinking it's a good sign and he probably is a good doctor. My appointment was for 2pm, I drive two hours to get there. No one stated there was a wait......I WAS IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR 2.5 HOURS!!! I finally get into a room to speak to him, he comes in 10 minutes later, sits down, I tell him my issues and old treatment plan. He looks at my MRI and says he doesnt see anything major. Tells me I do not need surgery. Then proceeds to prescribe a differant non-narcotic pain reliever and more Physical Therapy. Then, he rushed out and had me wait to talk to a man about some electric stimulation treatment. I sit in there for 10 more minutes alone waiting for that man(I could hear him talking to another patients and am waiting thinking I am next). He stops talking with that patient and quickly grabs his things and rushes out. I get up and walk down the hall, no one is in the office by now and I walk past Dr Glazer and he is sitting in his office eating a sandwich. I immediately get in rage and walk right out, my drive home was almost three hours!!!! I cannot believe I wasted my time at this place, this was the worst experiance I've had all around. From the receptionist not warning me of an outrageous wait to the most useless conversation with a doctor. Thanks for nothing, I guess I'll just deal with the pain and f*** up my body with more drugs ????????????????. **WORST EXPERIENCE EVER ** I am a veteran for over 10 years, I have multiple bulging/degenerative discs and … More

I had two herniated discs, a third disc, ripped in half (wrapping around a nerve) and I collapsed my back. (L2-S1) I had three consecutive days of surgery. It's been 8 months Since surgery and I feel unbelievable. I'm So thankful for Dr Glazer and I'm glad I waited to have the best surgeon in Boston to completely solve the issues I had. If you are having surgery, be patient and stay positive. His office's waiting room in Chestnut Hill has snacks and water, a nice touch for taking meds. Staff is professional. Can't be happier with my surgery. Thank you Dr. Glazer!!???????????? I had two herniated discs, a third disc, ripped in half (wrapping around a nerve) and I collapsed my back.

Fantastic doctor, both in terms of clinical skills and bedside manner. I am so thankful that I chose him as my surgeon.

Dr. Glazer saved my life! He gave me feeling in my feet that I haven’t had in over 6 years. I’ve been suffering for 22 years and I’m only 37. I almost ran away and backed out several times only because I was so afraid. I had a spinal fusion and I’m SO glad I did it and even more happy I chose him as my surgeon. His entire team was beyond amazing! Best decision ever!
