    Thank you, Dr. Ragel for being so caring. It is a joy knowing that you, once again, are my doctor. I am grateful to know that you will be managing my care from here on out. You are someone I trust. In my opinion you are the best neurosurgeon out there. Thank you in advance for your care. It was nice to see you again.

    Dr Ragel … words just can’t really express how thankful I am that he was the neurosurgeon who performed the surgery that saved my life in December 2022. Not only was he knowledgeable and compassionate for my family in the midst of a very serious situation but also so compassionate. As I’ve recovered over the last year, he has been honest and encouraging. He was, and still is, simply wonderful!

    Dr. Brian Ragel was friendly, down-to-earth, empathetic, and confident. He was unhurried and open to questions and discussion as needed. He performed my microdiscectomy a few weeks after our consultation, and the surgery results were precisely in the range of possibilities he described. I woke up from surgery with no nerve pain! Dr. Ragel's supporting staff at the outpatient surgery center were excellent, too, including the anesthesiologist and various nurses. Dr. Ragel's business, Rebound Orthopedics and Neurosurgery, was easy to work with. The staff was friendly, and their processes were efficient. Plus, the technology is precisely where it should be, with a robust patient portal, alleviating some of the usual waste of time in dealing with administrative stuff. They even partner with a separate company to help process work-related forms like FMLA, which worked out fine.

    One important factor for me with a Dr is that they listen and ask for input on your care. Dr Ragel did both. The surgery has made my life much better. After one week I was completely off the hard core pain meds and using Tylenol sparingly. I am glad I went to see Dr Ragel. Just a note, all my experiences with the Dr's at Rebound have been positive.

    I’m currently in my 20th year of back surgeries and issues. Back surgery number 6 is on the books. This will be my 3rd back surgery with Dr Ragel. In the years of dealing with these issues Dr Ragel is absolutely the best back surgeon I’ve dealt with and I’ve dealt with more than a dozen. I wish I would have had him in my corner from the start! Guarantee we would not be where we are at now. Dr Ragels attention to detail and bedside manner are second to none. He generally cares about his patients ,you never feel confused or rushed at your appointments. He always tries his hardest to keep you from having unwanted or unneeded surgery. He explains everything with understandable detail, so you can truly understand what is going to happen. The 1st time in this ugly journey of multiple back surgeries that I feel positive about the outcome. If you get the chance to have Dr Ragel in your corner , lock it in! You will not be disappointed and you will have the best chance of improving possible.

  • After seeing another surgeon who, after a quick glance at my MRI, immediately recommended surgery, I saw Dr. Ragel for a second opinion. He did not recommend surgery. He took the time to explain why, what my options and prognosis were, and to answer my questions. I spent a lot of time online educating myself on whatever problems I was dealing with and preparing questions for my appointments, which Dr. Ragel was happy to answer. I've seen many physicians for other problems I've had over the decades, and sometimes I have encountered doctors who are impatient with patients who take the time to educate themselves about their conditions. I'm happy to recommend Dr. Ragel.

    I've had 3 back surgeries with Dr. Ragel due to the progressive arthritis in my lower lumbar region. The most recent was a lower lumbar laminectomy with spinal fusion, which was very successful giving me back my ability to walk and perform basic functions without pain. This was very satisfying after dealing with chronic pain for the past 6 years. Throughout my experience with Dr. Ragel and his medical team I was treated with the utmost care and attention. I couldn't be happier or more satisfied and highly recommend Dr. Ragel and all the staff at Rebound.

    Dr. Ragel and OHSU were fantastic. He is a really nice guy and obviously very smart. My back has never felt better. In and out of the hospital after a major back fusion in 3 days.

    Dr Ragel did emergency back surgery on my mother at OHSU. She was referred to him by the nuerosurgeons at Good Sam due to the difficulty of the procedure. Her spine was ready to collapse due to a tumor. He and his staff kept in contact with me during and after surgery. Although the hospital was fairly disorganized, Dr. Ragel and his immediate staff were great.

    Seen for arm pain. I liked that he did not recommend surgery up front, but encouraged that I try a few other things first. Ultimately, he operated on my neck and my arm has never felt better!
