Robert M Beatty

I have never had a surgeon that was so skilled and yet he is extremely easy to talk too and doesn't rush you.

The staff and Dr. Beatty were just wonderful. Got in to see the doctor right away. He explained very well what he saw on the MRI. I am very confident that he can help me.

About 11 yrs ago I had surgery on my back from a car accident. Then I was in an accident again in 2015 and had to have another back surgery which was alot worse. But the surgery that Dr Beatty did was 100% intact

Very disappointed in attempting to obtain an appointment with Dr. Beatty; I'm looking for a second opinion on back surgery for Spinal Stenosis, had an MRI in Jan. '20 - was informed I need an MRI 6 months or less to be seen by Dr. Beatty, which I'm okay with and will/would get one; however, his office would not get me scheduled for the MRI, not their policy...this is very inconvenient from my position and is no longer worth my time to see Dr. Beatty, I'll look elsewhere for my second opinion.

My experience with this office was very favorable.

Very knowledgeable, and professional and talks to you in a down to earth way not in Dr. Terms.

Dr. Beatty and his staff have been hard working "All hands on deck" trying to fix my fat head lol ???? ???? ????...

Dr. Beatty is fantastic. He listens to you and then explains things in terms you can understand. He even draws pictures as to the surgical plan. He has operated on me twice and everything worked out as planned. I would recommend him and his staff any time you need a neurosurgeon.

I was referred to Dr. Beatty by my personal physician. My son, a licensed veterinarian, attended my appointment with me as a second set of ears. We were both impressed by Dr. Beatty's immediate grasp of the situation upon viewing the MRI I brought and interviewing me as to where the nerve pain was located. He then double checked the MRI, then explained to me in layman's terms what he deduced and what procedure he would do. I am now a week out from my surgery. He was absolutely on the mark. My back is healing steadily. His office is very efficient. A patient is given a nurse to call with any further questions or problems right up to the lab work and surgery. His staff is pleasant and helpful. I even received a note from the OR team. I am so pleased. I was referred to Dr. Beatty by my personal physician.

I have degenerative spinal stenosis with multiple complicated artery and nerve issues. Dr. Beatty has performed four successful surgeries on me and I am eternally grateful for his genuine concern, care, expertise, skill and the time he takes to explain everything in detail. I have full use of, and feeling in, my legs and arms again, all due to Dr. Beatty. In my opinion, and many other former patients I've spoken with, Dr. Beatty is the best neurosurgeon in Kansas City hands down. Ariel, his nurse, is also wonderful. She is above and beyond helpful and caring. I can't thank them both enough or recommend them more highly. I have degenerative spinal stenosis with multiple complicated artery and nerve issues.

Everyone was very helpful. Dr. Beatty took his time with me & made Mr feel very comfortable with him. I would highly recommend him to others.

I needed a wheelchair to make it to the office. My son called and someone brought one to us at the door promptly. We arrived when told to and completed the paperwork in that extra time. Someone took us to the exam room nearly on time. Dr. Beatty's consult with the MRI we brought with us, was not rushed. He carefully examined the MRI disk, asked me several questions, consulted the MRI, then gave us a concise diagnosis and surgical plan. My son is a physician and he was impressed with his thoroughness and kindness in explaining it to me. His nurse and my advocate right up to the surgery date gave us a folder with fine detail for preparation. We called her several times and she was delightful and helpful. I am so impressed with Dr. Beatty and his staff.

Always a pleasure to see dr. Beatty! Great Dr

Surgery.

I had 2 seperate back surgeries by Dr Beatty. Both went superbly. Dr Beatty is a very caring personable surgeon! I highly recommend him.

On March 16, 2018 Dr. Beatty did lumbar laminectomy on me. After back pain for 50 years, I had recently become increasingly crippled due to severe bilateral hip and leg sciatic pain. I can now do my Yardwork ie walking mowing, weeding, planting and light housework. I am age 82 lady and am great full for Dr Beatty’s conservative and honest approach and I consider myself very fortunate for his successful work. I understood when he said he could help me but it wouldn’t cure my arthritis pain, and this is true. But I can now walk without assistance going upstairs and stepping up/ down curbs normally.

Very good experience he is 1 of the best he is interactive and knows all about my my situation. This was my first surgery and he and the staff made it where I wasn't nervous a bit from beginning to end I would recommend him to anyone.

I have spent the last two years looking for a doctor to address what I am completely 100 positive is a csf leak due to a spinal fusion. I am counting on doctor Beattys years of surgical skill and medical knowledge to get me through this difficult time as I believe I am running out of options in the Kansas City area. I have recommended Dr. Beatty numerous times to family which included my wife who had a cervical mobi c implanted and several of her work place associates. I myself have had 2 surgeries with Dr. Beatty and never had a problem with either so I would always recommend Dr. B as the go to surgeon.

If you are looking for a highly competent and compassionate surgeon, look no further than Dr. Robert Beatty. He and his staff will answer a;ll of your questions while in his care. This was a very comfortable visit.

Follow up from stay at Overland Park Regional Car Accident

Following my initial visit with Doctor Beatty, I was scheduled for diagnostic testing and had surgery on July 1, 2019. My experience for office visits and ultimate surgery were excellent! Doctor Beatty and his entire staff were compassionate, friendly and always expressed concern for me while explaining my issues. Doctor Beatty is, in my opinion, the best surgeon I have ever been fortunate enough to feel total trust and he has superior knowledge in his specialty. Simply stated - he is the BEST!

OH MY GOODNESS! THIS MAN IS BEYOND UN-ETHICAL.. I had surgery in my spine and ended up with severe nerve damage and an infection. The surgery was done by another neurosurgeon who I will be writing a review on. I was transferred to Dr Robert Beatty who did another spinal surgery. I could not walk, or bear weight at all. Moving was not an option as I was in so much unbearable pain from the severe infection in my spine that also effected my nervous system. After the surgeries it literally felt like electricity shooting through my body. This man DOES NOT BELIEVE IN PAIN MANAGEMENT AT ALL. OMG. I was made to lay in bed with screaming due to the severity of the pain. His response was that I would have to work through the pain without ANY medication. His nurses swear by him. He has a good reputation. I get the concerns of using too much pain medication. But I was on nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR DAYS. The staff at the Overland Park Regional were not good either. They provided no orientation. Treated me as if I was faking. (I WAS NOT FAKING AT ALL) They later found out that I was actually sick and the pain I had was legit. A little to late. As I suffered beyond what anyone should have to suffer and it was due to Dr Robert Beatty's personal belief of (NO OR VERY LITTLE PAIN MEDICATION).... THiS guy reminded me of one of Hitlers torture Doctors. Because the torture I endured was brutal OH MY GOODNESS! THIS MAN IS BEYOND UN-ETHICAL..

Dr. Beatty preformed a microdiscectomy and I feel 100% better. Before the surgery I couldn't stand for longer than 3 minutes without excruciating pain and now I'm pain free.

Dr. Beatty is great. I had pain in my back, hip, thigh and calf for years. Dr Beatty saw the problem at my L5 and S1 and performed a miracle. All of the pain is gone and I was walking the next day. He and his entire staff are great.

Dr. Beatty did my spinal fusion surgery on my c5 & c6, he was remarkable! My results from the surgery have gone just as he said they would and I’m very happy! Look forward to seeing him on my 9 month follow up appointment.

In July 2011 my father fell down the stairs and broke his neck; C4, C5, C6, and C7 to be exact. Dr. Beatty had to rebuild C6&7 with cadaver bone and since C4&5 had been fused together a couple years before that, he had to move them back into place since they were pushing forward on my dads throat. It was a risky surgery and one that could have gone south absolutely. I wholeheartedly believe that Dr. Beatty is ONE of the reasons my father is alive today. The surgery took a while to perform but my dad did pull through and recover. He spent a week at OPR and another 4 weeks in inpatient rehab at St. Luke’s South. Yes, he has seen him since for other things and I will always recommend him to anyone I know. Whether they decide too go to him is their choice but again I recommend him because of the wonderful experience my family went through.

We believe in Dr Beatty's respected skills as a surgeon, who takes all precautions for your safety in critical procedures. We have very high regards for him. My husband had a serious lower back surgery that was frightening, to say the least. We felt very secure going into that surgery because of Dr Beatty. Recovery continues...... I would also like to mention that Dr Beatty's office staff, along with Overland Park Regional Medical Center, the ER and all of those nurses and doctors that helped us were wonderful, organized, attentive and we appreciated that everything was so spotlessly clean!

The whole staff and Dr Beatty was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Dr Beatty was informed and spent time explaining what the situation was and did a great job with taking time to listen to my questions and explaining the surgery I am having done. I feel confident in my upcoming surgery and feel that I will have great follow up with him afterwards.

We were very pleased with the calm, efficient manner in which Dr. Beatty and his staff handled my husband’s health issue. We came away with an understanding of the problem and what we needed to do next. Dr. Beatty will be our choice for surgery.

He seems to be a very caring person and showed concern for his patient.

Great doctor very caring and professional. The doc to see to have your issues addressrd

In my 1st review I accidentally gave high ‘stars’ to Dr.B. Fantastic staff all around. In this review I need to augment my current poor review. His assistant contacted me (she has been fantastic) because I had bulging discs Dr. B didn’t catch! A Harvard graduate cannot read an MRI? I think he gets great reviews as a surgeon. Maybe my GP should not have referred me to a surgeon. Perhaps the mistake was there and Dr.B thought I needed surgery. If so,i’m glad he said I did not. Benefit of doubt.

I met Dr. Beatty Tuesday for the first time, when I was sent to Dr. Beatty from the ER Doctor, I had seen for my lower back issue. Dr. Beatty was compassionate and understanding of the pain that I was having. He scheduled me for surgery the next week. Dr. Beatty showed me on a diagram what was causing my pain and how he was going to repair the damage. I also want to thank his Medical Assistant Arielle, for all of her help in getting all the necessary paperwork completed. Thanks Mark M.

I can't say enough how much I appreciate Dr Beatty. This is my second procedure where Dr Beatty has surgically repair my back. Each time he throughly explains what he will be doing, even drawing it out for me. He is personal and I trust him 100%. Along with Dr Beatty I have to give kudos to his assistant Arielle she communicates everything clearly and follows up as promised. If you are looking for a neurosurgeon I highly recommend Dr Beatty and staff.

Worst bedside manner ever. In fact, while nearly all other medical personnel I saw during my multi-day stay at the hospital were wonderful, in my opinion, he crossed the line from bad beside manner to unprofessional. Rude. Apathetic. Refused to answer questions. Condescending.

Dr. Beatty is a brilliant physician and master of his profession. I can compliment no one higher than to say I trust my life to him.

Dr. Beatty has performed 4 different procedures on me. I have been very pleased with Dr.Beatty and his support staff, They are excellent. They are always willing to help. I have been to his office many times, I admit that I am always early, and every visit I have seen Dr.Beatty ahead of my app. time. The surgical staff are terrific. One nurse on my 3/2/18 surgery said it best. Its a party when you are here, and its all about YOU the patient.. you will love this hospital..

Refused to put a stimulator in and didn't give a reason. Wasted my time and money. And was incredibly rude. He had me crying by the time I left. He didn't bother to speak to my pain management doctors and just blew me off.

I started seeing Beatty back in 2013. He performed three surgeries on me consisting of: a lumbar discectomy with relief, which never really helped, then a cervical fusion, which I couldn't even get him to look at until my pain management doctor did an MRI. This operation did not help. Then I had another discectomy because as he said, I have juicy disks. This also did not provide relief. As time passed and symptoms never subsided I begged for other remedies. He told me he could not recommend further surgery, and there want enough medical advancement in science to truly see my problem. I'd show him new MRI's and he would just admire his own work and say everything looked fine despite what other doctors were telling me. I got new doctors treating my pain and taking new scans. They begin with a double lumbar fusion because my back was one of the worst cases they had ever seen and they were surprised I could still walk. Then they looked at the cervical fusion, and that's when things got bad. The work Beatty had done was so unorthodox that most doctors didn't even know what they were seeing. It was a polyfiber guitar pick looking piece of plastic that was haphazardly screwed on. Beatty claimed he had done all he could and became annoyed and visibly agitated when I would complain of ceaseless crippling pain. Science hadn't come up with answers for my problems according to him. Now I have a cervical prosthetic which had minimal recovery time compared to the butcher Robert Beatty I started seeing Beatty back in 2013. He performed three surgeries on me consisting of: a lumbar discectomy with relief, which never really helped, then a cervical fusion, which I couldn't even get him to look at until my pain management … More

He took my pain seriously, examined me, read and explained my MRI results. Suggested physical therapy treatment. Which helped me tremendously.

Had a cervical spinal stenosis causing pain in my ulnar nerve. He performed a laminotomy and I was so pleased, I took my dad for the same procedure.

Dr Beatty took one look at my test results, that other Drs had said was no big deal, and had the answer for me. He did an out patient surgery on me and I was miraculously free of debilitating PAIN!! FIVE stars from me!!

My experience with Dr. Beatty was as good as it could be, he operated on my lower to remove scar tissue from a surgery way back in 1984. Dr. Beatty did this in April 2016. It was all good. i have sent 3 other people over to see him, 2 he did surgery on and one he didn't. He will not operate unless it is necessary.

Clear and concise explanation of targeted procedure. Calm and professional manner helped put me at ease. Nice office and professional staff help insure confidence in this practice.

Dr. Beatty gave me his undivided attention during my recent appointment. He made me feel that I was his only patient at that time and spent a lot of time going over my MRI explaining the findings so that I totally understood my condition. Dr. Beatty then discussed my options for care. I strongly recommend Dr. Beatty as a Neurosurgeon for my family and friends.

I was referred to Dr. Beatty by my regular Doctor. He was great to talk with and had me get some test done. The test showed i had alot of scar tissue that was the result of a surgery on l4-l5 wat back in 1987, He told me exactly what he was going to do and did just what he said he would. I have recommended several folks to see him, two had surgery one did not. He will not do surgery if he can't fix it.

Dr. Beatty is a kind, caring, compassionate doctor who listens to you when you discuss your health issues. He is sincere in wanting to help you and is excellent in explaining the procedure that he will perform. He answers all your questions. He has performed two surgeries on me and I truly trust him with my life due to his skill as a surgeon.

Dr. Beatty is great. Listen to me order appropriate test and got me into surgery. Very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Beatty leaves you hanging after surgery in pain. I've had four back surgeries all with Dr. Beatty, the first two were successful however he didn't assist with the post surgery pain. My third surgery didn't go so well, and after that surgery i was still in severe pain. Dr. Beatty did nothing to help me other than suggested another MRI. He found yet another disk fragment, and 8 weeks later I was having surgery again.. I would NOT recommend Dr. Beatty to anyone!

Dr. Beatty is a caring, compassionate man who treats his patients with respect. He explains procedures well. I totally trust him. He has helped me immensely .

Dr. Beatty is an excellent neurosurgeon. He is clear, concise and has been completely successful with his recommended procedures to repair my lower back issues. His team with Overland Park Surgical Specialists + Sports Medicine and the surgical team at Overland Park Regional Medical Center are top flight; professional, competent medical providers of quality healthcare.

Schedulers should screen new patients as to make sure Dr Beatty can actually help. My husband took off work and I completed all the necessat paper work to see dr beatty. My ins was actually who told me Dr Beatty was the kind of dr to see since I have a disc tear. Imagine my surprise when he told me and another patient with a similar problem (hers actually was a tad worse than mine from what the dr said) there was nothing he could do....said there wasnt enough science background to say surgery could or couldn't help.......and sent me on my way. He spent all of 30 seconds reading my mri before he said he didnt see anything he could fix. He didn't ask any questions relating to pain or anything....it is no wonder the other patient felt as defeated as I did. I have since seen another dr who said that seems to be the reputation of the drs at this office and not all neurosurgeons are the same... I wouldn't go back here of you refunded my money. Schedulers should screen new patients as to make sure Dr Beatty can actually help. … More

Loved him! I was referred to Dr Beatty, and very happy I was! He was very informative and spent a long time ensuring I understood my choices, even drawing a diagram on paper for me. He went over my MRIs with me so I could see exactly what he was talking about. He was very honest and didn't try to push me towards surgery. He thought maybe a rheumatologist could better help me, so he referret me on. Great bedside manner! I highly recommend him!

Dr Beatty is not only a great doctor, but he is a awesome person. He has excellent bedside manner, and takes the time to listen. You can tell he enjoys his job and genuinely cares about his patients. I would most definitely recommend Dr Beatty for care!

I have had three back procedures with Dr. Beatty. I am in the medical field and in my opinion his competence is at the top of the field and he is a true professional. I would highly recommend him and I wouldn't dream of going to anyone else for neurosurgical issues. I feel very fortunate to have had him for my care. His staff is great as well.

Dr. Beatty is the most amazing and gifted surgeon I have ever met--not only does he have a perfect knowledge of the back and brain, but he has a wonderful bedside manner/patient explanation of procedure. Dr. Beatty is a miracle worker. We are not going to have a neurosurgeon as gifted as Dr. Beatty for a long time! He gave me life!!

Very kind and caring Doctor. He was there for me when my health conditions were deteriorating fast. I am grateful I met him at the right time, all through diagnosis and surgery.

The staff is the most efficient I have ever met (have never seen this in Topeka). Thank you Dr. Beatty.

The staff in the office took extremely good care of me. I could not be happier with the service provided by everyone.
