Everybody at Rothman Bensalem is the epitome of professionalism!!!

I understand his reason for not recommending surgery but he could have had much betterbedside manner He left me crying and is sending me for therapy again for all of the good that will do Basically told me to live like not being able to walk

His thoroughness and deep knowledge left me feeling confident about his assessment.

I had spine surgery. I can even describe how amazing it was done. Next day I was able to walk a little after a long time being incapacitated. Amazing doctor, amazing staff.

I’m sure everyone is worried when they see a surgeon for cervical spine issues. Being a dentist it can be career ending, but Dr Hilibrand was very thorough and meticulous. Being in healthcare I know that being meticulous is all about. His team at Rothman was outstanding. It was one of the radiologists I know that referred me to him and said his work was the best of the best at Rothman and that’s saying a ton. Thanks for your excellent care and advice!

Dr. Hilibrand was very patient and explained my MRI to me and my husband. Very empathetic to my concerns. Highly recommended.

Complicated back surgery and slow recovery. Dr and staff provided great support throughout. Truly appreciate them. Would not go anywhere else.

Bad backs run in my family. Both my mother and father had dreadful problems and the joys of genetics meant that both my sister and I inherited those problems too. In the 80s and 90s I had back operations to try to fix my back but compared to the technology now available, it was really a bit primitive and the fixes eventually failed. In 2016 I limped in to see Dr Hilibrand and after he looked at the MRI, he outlined what he proposed to do with my lower spine and we got it done. A couple of years later problems arose up in my neck and now that has been fixed. I am back to riding motorcycles and living my life and I am very grateful for the outcome. I am pain free as well. One thing that filled me with confidence is that not only is Dr Hilibrand a great surgeon, he is also an engineer and inventor. He helps to create the medical devices that he uses, he appears to me to take a very well rounded approach to his solutions to his patients problems. He has a great manner too.

Bensalem location is clean, efficient and they take extreme care in keeping Covid safe. Dr. Hilanbrand and his staff are personable, professional and prepared to take care and control of the patients care. I am sorry that some people had a different experience, but I can only share my most recent experiences.

Doc changed my life. Before surgery I couldn't walk a block or stand for more than a few minutes without crippling pain. Post surgery I'm back to normal, more active than ever. No pain no limitations.

Dr.Hilibrand is an excellent doctor . My cervical fusion surgery went very well with no complications. He has an excellent bed side manners and was very compassionate. Highly recommend him .

Dr Hilibrand is excellent surgeon. I came to him as wanting a second opinion. He told me exactly what was wrong with my spine. Though I been walking like a "shopping cart lady" and the back and side of my legs hurt 24/7. Even after going to pain management and 3 months of physical therapy, nothing gave me relief. I had Anterior/Posterior Lumbar Spine Decompression and Fusion. I was cut down the front of my abdomen. My spine had been locked in a forward arch. Dr H had fixed this, having to decompress my spine and add two new disks. The second incision on my back, Dr H fixed my Spinal Spinosis L3-S1, having some hardware placed L4-L5 and L5-S1. This was a 10+ hour operation. I am now into my 7th week post-surgery and I feel great. I had RN, OT, PT come to my home. Was using a walker and now transitioning into a cane. It feels great to stand up straight again after two years of bending forward as I walked. Anyone who is having spinal problems. I recommended Dr Hilibrand an A+ surgeon.

Dr. Hilibrand is the best!

Dr Hilibrand has every quality one could ask for. He is not only a world class surgeon, but also takes the time to explain every move and recommendation he makes. He is friendly and no question I have had has been treated as unimportant. I trust him completely. Bob Hirsch Dr Hilibrand has every quality one could ask for.

Very good experience with Dr. Hilibrand.. had ACDF neck / spine fusion surgery end of Sept 2021.. 2 months ago, He is very thorough and is willing to listen to patients suggestions and options, He was referred to me and I am glad he performed the surgery. Still recuperating but am hopefully long term result will be worth it.

Very professional and outstanding service.

Explained and answered my questions and addressed my concerns without rushing. Ordered appropriate tests and follow up appointments were within two weeks or less. Very easy to talk to and understand. Accommodated my timeframe preference. Entire staff was a pleasure to work with and got back to me without me having to follow up. Plus everyone from check-in at the Marlton location to check-out was pleasant, respectful and focused on the patient while doing their job.

I waited 3 hours and they couldn’t get my MRI to load even though it loaded for my first visit. Even without the MRI which detailed severe spinal stenosis, disc degeneration, severe arthritis and other problems, he said there was nothing he could do for me, despite going to physical therapy for 2 months which he recommended but produced no decrease in pain. When I pressed for a solution, he suggested I read a book. He then condescendingly suggested I didn’t have to read the whole book. I told him I taught Honors and AP English for 30 years but he didn’t know that because he never asked what I did for a living. He was highly recommended by several doctors but I’m positive he had made a decision after my first visit. I had to get X-rays both visits even though my MRI and X-rays were very recent. He didn’t even look at them. I wasted three hours of my life.

From my first visit until follow to surgery Dr. Hilibrand thoroughly explained each and every process. His respectful confidence in his ability and his candor gave me a very at ease feeling about such a sensitive procedure. My results were great in my back surgery.

Dr Hilibrand is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him to family and friends.

I went to Dr. Hildebrand and I would not recommend him to anyone. I have been told by other physicians that I have herniated disc ruptured discs bulging disc’s, arthritis, and that I would need surgery. He came into the room and examined me, and told me based on the x-ray he took in the office that day that I don’t need surgery I need to lose weight and exercise. FYI I just lost 66 pounds after having a gastric bypass revision. So I have no idea what he was talking about as far as my week goes. I felt him to be very arrogant, and was not interested in helping me in anyway possible. I would never go to this Doctor for any back problem!!

Very happy with my visit, I hope he will find the walking problems I'm having. Thanks

What a wonderful, caring doctor. He explains everything and answers all my questions. Jodi and Erin return my calls promptly and are very professional and caring.

Very detail oriented, calm, great bedside manner, easy to talk to especially when making decisions on surgical interventions vs. noninvasive procedures.

Saw Dr Hilibrand a few days ago for second opinion about spinal stenosis. He was very pleasant. He performed an extensive physical exam checking all reflexes in arms, legs & back. He reviewed my Xrays and pointed out structural issues in my spine. He explained my condition and suggested how he would proceed to resolve them.

Great great doctor. I suffered for a year with horrible sciatica. Dr. Hilibrand performed a spinal fusion and now three months after surgery I am back to being able to golf, play tennis and ride my motorcycle. Highly recommend. Very caring and spends the time explaining everything.

Excellent doctor. Performed a spinal fusion and artificial disc. Now I can walk!

Physician and resident explain procedures well. Did a thorough neurological exam. Would recommend Rothman institute Dr. Hildebran for anyone with cervical neck concerns. Drove four hours one way to disappointment but would have driven across the United States to see this position and get his professional opinion.

this was my first visit with hillibrand and he and his nursing staff acted in a professional empathetic manner. dr hillibrand is extremely knowledgeable and takes all the time needed to listen to and answer my questions. he explains the pro and con of any procedures needed. I was very impressed with this practice as cdc covid protocol was thoroughly followed.

Dr. Hilibrand is a fantastic surgeon! He has performed spinal fusion on both my cervical and lumbar spine with excellent results. Following surgery, Dr. Hilibrand makes certain that I am very familiar with my brace, and gives specific instructions regarding its use prior to my hospital release. During office visits Dr. Hilibrand gives me his full attention, asks questions, and really listens to my responses and concerns. Dr. Hilibrand makes me feel like I am his only patient, and I consider myself very lucky to have him as my orthopedic surgeon. Also, I would like to add that Dr. Hilibrand's Nurse Practitioner , Jody Walter, is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. She and Dr. Hilibrand make a terrific team!

It has been a pleasure to have had uou as my surgeon

Dr. Hilibrand has made it possible for me to resume walking. I was unable to walk for a while and that really affected my quality of life. I highly recommend Dr. Hilibrand he is a caring competent surgeon. He explained very clearly just what my back surgery would entail. Thank you ??

Great doctor. Performed a spinal fusion on me. Three months after surgery I am back doing the things I could not do for the past year. Takes the time to explain everything and patiently answers all questions. Highly recommend.

Always receive the best care! Highly Recommend!!!

Dr. Hilibrand's thoughtful review of my medical conditions enabled him to recommend to me a course of physical therapy that greatly reduced the scope of the surgery that he ultimately performed. My recovery went rapidly, the elimination of symptoms is virtually complete and he and his staff provided excellent communication before, during and after the surgery.

Simply tremendous. He and his team can not be beat. Can't say enough good things about Dr Hildibrand.

Dr Hilibrand, his Assistant Jody and the entire Rothman Team have been nothing short of outstanding. He and his Team engage with you as if your case is the most important one they are treating. Results from past surgical procedure turned out excellent and my quality of life much improved.

Takes the time to explain everything. Cares about his patients.

I would highly recommend Dr. Hilibrand for your needs concerning your spine. Dr Hilibrand was thorough, knowledgeable, provided explanations, and showed that he cared about my back problem. In addition to his own years of knowledge and expertise you have the added benefit that Dr, Hilibrand had a fellowship with Dr. Henry Bohlman, a revered spine surgeon.

Great

Very caring and helpful

I recently saw Dr. Hilibrand for severe back and leg pain and will be having surgery in two weeks. He is SO kind and patient. He answered all of my questions with honest compassionate answers. I never felt rushed or that I was being a bother. I felt completely comfortable and am looking forward to surgery. It’s so hard to find a physician with top notch skills and a caring bedside manner - Dr. Hilibrand has both. I would recommend him to my friends and family without hesitation.

Dr. Hilibrand is amazing, he gave me my quality of life back. The sugery & recovery were exactly as he explained. He as well as his team are always available for any questions or concerns.

My Experience with Dr Hilibrand is Absolutely the best care from a Doctor I have ever had He is wonderful

I couldn't have a more knowledgeable surgeon and I was referred out of county since I needed involved cervical spine surgery. Absolutely where I needed to go.

Excellent service treated me very well and made me feel like I could talk to him. I did not struggle explaining my own personal feelings and situation physical or emotional as I believe he gave me a life changing surgery that little by little has been bettering my life

I am very glad I drove an hour to Bensalem office. Dr. Hilibrand was very knowledgeable, and took his time explaining all the test results. He did not rush through examinations, did not push any unnecessary medications or treatments. He was great. I highly recommend Dr. Hilibrand.

Alan S. Hilibrand MD is kind, caring, and concerned about helping my condition. I had full understanding of the procedure to be performed and he gave me the confidence that would get me thru the surgery and recovery process. This was my second experience with Dr. Hilibrand and I sought him out to work with me again as the first surgery was life changing for me, as if I was reborn.

Dr. Hilibrand and the entire staff of the Rothman Institute are giving me excellent care for my spinal problems. I am confident that I will be well taken care of for helping me solve my problem.

No bedside manner at all. Now I have more problems after my surgery and have to probelm get another surgery.

I had excruciating pain in my lower back that after almost ten years of suffering I went to Dr Hilibrand for help. Dr Hilibrand spent much time with me going over my symptoms. He had required tests done and then went over the procedure he would perform. I am so thankful to Dr Hilibrand for his great spinal skills that he has relived the pain I had and has abled me to walk, bend and perform normal body functions once again. Fantastic person, Fantastic surgeon.

Was able to be seen quickly as a result of auto accident. Took extreme care in showing and discussing xrays. I would recommend him and his care team to everyone.

Dr. Hillibrand impressed me as knowledgeable, caring and honestly wanting to help me. He gave me all the information I needed to make a decision and not worry if I was doing the right thing. He showed me on my MRI exactly what was wrong and completely explained what he could do to fix it. He also listed all the risks and then let me make up my own mind. I had all the confidence in him that I needed to have the surgery.

Dr. Hilibrand was the next Messiah to me!! After I was tested by some other local Hospitals about my back problem, I decided to contact Rothman Institute . Upon making my call I got hold of Jody Walter, MSN, CRNP and right then I got this great feeling about in the way she explained whats my next options. She recommended Dr.Hilibrand for my first evaluation, and the rest is history. After he discovered that I had a L2-3PLD problem he first recommended to do therapy before I think of any kind of surgery. Unfortunately it got worse and I decided to go ahead and do the procedure. The surgery it was a piece a cake! No more pain, September surgery, Oct. and Nov. physical therapy, and the month of Dec. back to gym 3-4 times a week working out and doing great. Thank you Dr. Hilibrand, thank you Jody Walter, and the rest of your professional staff. Happy Holidays and God Bless! Mario Juncaj

Doctor was great! Fully explained in detail my personal situation and all of the options. Gave me a great comfort level.

Dr/Hilibrand. I was very fortunate to be referred to him.Having worked as an anesthesiologist for many years,I have learned to recognize expertise and excellence.His clinical decision and surgical skill are exceptional.i could not be more pleased with the outcome of my back surgery.It has already made a big difference in how I feel and has given my life a new energy.

Dr. Hilibrand is an exceptional physician. He and his team are effective and efficient. They are totally professional and ensure that you are afforded all the necessary considerations necessary. Their manner is encouraging and assuring. Dr. Hilibrand considers what is best for the patient and although surgery could have been performed he did not consider it since non-surgical treatment would be as effective. He quickly made arrangements for non-surgical treatment without any delay. That demonstrated to me his empathy and concern to end the pain and discomfort for my friend. Thank you very much Dr. Hilibrand.

Dr Hilibrand was the only doctor out of the many I have gone to who explained my test results and possible problems with my back He ordered testing to be done and I will return to see him

He has a great education and credentials, that being said he was 2 hours late without an apology. After waiting 2 hours Dr Hillibrand essentially said my 75 year old husband should expect to have pain at his age. We are very active senior citizens and his pain has completely changed his lifestyle. After suggesting physical therapy and demeaning the treatments we had already tried we asked about surgery. He then said he wouldn’t discuss anything until PT was completed and we retuned for another visit in 6 weeks. We left his office and saw a neurosurgeon who we should have seen originally. He was kind ,compassionate, did not demean our other treatments, but said they were certainly worth a try. He explained all treatments including surgery if needed. He said better to know all treatments and be informed. Guess which doctor we chose. As an aside Dr hillibrands staff were kind

Dr. Hi Libra s was wonderful! Explained everything in great detail & answered all our questions & concerns. The surgery was a huge success & we could not be happier with the care Dr. Hilibrand provides.

Great doctor, explains everything, very professional. I had major back surgery and was up and around in no time! NP Jody is wonderful as well as the rest of the staff!

I am married, 73 years old, in excellent health and physical condition and live a very active life of sports and travel. I was suffering from sever stenosis and bulging discs. In time, my condition caused me to curtail physical activity and prior to surgery I needed significant assistance in ambulation. Dr. Hilibrand as my surgeon explained my options clearly, which empowered me to make the right choices, while having the confidence that in his hands I would be fine. Post my decompression surgery, I am ambulating freely, without pain and have returned to a very active life. Dr. Hilibrand's skills as a surgeon have allowed my wife and me to live out a life of independence, enjoyment and adventure. His office at Rothman is very supportive and appointments are to the point. The doctor is not into a lot of small talk, but gets the job done in a very professional way. I thank Alan from the bottom of my heart for restoring my life. I have strongly recommend him to friends and family.

I was in horrible pain for over a year and tried many solutions. Finally I was referred to Dr. Hilibrand by a friend and he performed a decompression & fusion of L4/5. I was immediately out of pain and had a wonderful recovery under Dr. Hilibrand's care. The experience was flawless, the staff at Rothman are great, very profrssional and knowledgeable. They were there for every question with quick answers. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hilibrand and his team, they are truley amazing... Thank You for giving me my life back

No question that he’s a highly intelligent individual. He is not punctual and while I appreciate that he does take his time with his patients the management office schedule should be such that patients do not wait 45 minutes or more and be on their appointment to see him. I was disappointed in that my symptoms are not typical for certain condition but it appeared that he was jumping to conclusions very quickly. He did order an additional test and my concern that he was not listening was verified when I showed up for the other test and found that the order was to only test one leg not both. Both legs were exhibiting symptoms one more severe than the other. It is important that a physician truly listen to their patient in order to establish trust, mutual respect and resulting patient confidence. No question that he’s a highly intelligent individual.

I am extremely pleased with my experiences with Dr. Alan Hilibrand. In Nov 2018 he performed anterior/posterior fusion from L3 to S1 to correct degenerative scoliosis and lumbar stenosis. Prior to surgery, I was very limited in my ability to walk or stand and had severe pain in my lower back and right leg. Other physicians only recommended shots, meds, and P.T. which were not solving my problems. A few months after surgery, I was back to all my normal activities and without the pain. At my pre and post appointments, Dr. Hilibrand was informative, thorough, and I appreciated his demeanor. I wanted the best skilled surgeon and I feel I found it in Dr. Hilibrand.

Excellent doctor, and extremely knowledgeable. Very through and explained everything. Would highly recommend him.

I have already recommended Dr. Hilibrand to a friend. He has performed surgery on her for a cervical vertebrae problem. She is as pleased with her surgical outcome as I am with mine, I’m almost six months out and hope to continue improving. I’m am very pleased with his surgical expertise bedside manner and follow up.

If I ever have an issue again, I wouldn't hesitate to book an appointment. The staff is wonderful, the waiting area clean and comfortable.
