    Dr. Ragel has been fantastic. I have my first SCS implanted in January and it’s helped with my pain. We are now exploring options for my cervical spine, and he was great explaining possible options and what tests would help rule out other causes of pain, but also to help you evaluate if that’s a good option. I’ve already recommended Dr. Ragel to two friends.

    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.

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.

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.

    Don't be discouraged if the initial appointment wait time is long. Get on the waiting list. My wait went from a month to a week! The entire staff was very friendly and I felt my time was well spent. There is a lot of paperwork to fill out at your initial visit. Don't worry, it does have an end! In ending, the doctor was able to see me quickly, and the staff did an amazing job getting all the processes started to be able to have my spinal stimulator implanted quickly.

    Dr. Ragel asked appropriate and informational questions; he was open in the dialogue seemed to be honest yet cautiously optimistic in discussing the potential treatment options for my long term back issues. He took ample time to ask and answer questions; was familiar at least to some degree with my case before a first appointment; didn't appear to be in a rush, even taking a short time to forge a surface aquaintance during the appointment. I might add more later, but thus far I'm happy.

    Dr. Ragel is a kind, loving doctor who cares about the WHOLE patient. I fell 3years ago and experienced a compound fracture to my L2....it has been a long road. Two years ago Dr. Ragel did a Kyphoplasty and it did help to relieve some of my pain. He has continued to follow and treat my back issues and for that I am eternally grateful. I can't imagine entrusting my spine care to anyone else!

    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.
