Dr. Herceg was great, his staff, especially CeCe was wonderful through the entire process.

I saw dr hercig for a cervical spine surgical second opinion. His suggestion was good news however when I pushed for next step suggestions, since my worrisome and dangerous for me symptoms have been a 9 yr struggle, his comeback was to "get a walker" and "have a good day". It marked the first time I left the practice (which my husband and I have used for about 15 yrs) in tears. I am 78 yrs old so I guess it just doesn't matter anymore. And, I have a walker.

I was pleased with first meeting after surgery not so much. Would not recommend.

Made it easy to understand what was going to be done and what to expect after surgery

Great he is a great doctor fixed my back up with no problems I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone easy to work with

Dr. Herceg was excellent. I could not write a more glowing recommendation. The team were very professional and knowledgeable regarding my issue and treatment options. I enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend Dr. Herceg.

Super nice Dr. He listens, answers all questions, upfront, and honest. Knows his stuff better than anyone I’ve ever seen. Great staff that are super knowledgeable! Very friendly, also very helpful and accommodating. Will only see this Dr. for this type of medical issues going forward.

Dr. Herceg was knowledgeable and thoroughly explained what his findings were based on the films he reviewed. He then explained the procedure he planned and answered all my questions. His staff was courteous, helpful and friendly.

Best place ever!! Dr. Herceg is by far the best surgeon I have ever been to. He has operated on me 3 times and this last time was the best!

Everybody involved in my Diag/Surgery/Recovery were amazing. Thanks to Dr. Herceg, Cee Cee, and everyone else! Had L3,4,5 fused and after 2 weeks it’s almost like it didn’t happen. But, of course, it did happen, and I am taking all precautions that were suggested. Ortho One is the place to go for us old people. Thanks, Mark

Surgery went very well, spent two weeks in rehab facility, glad to be in my own bed now. Special brace wonderful to support back!! Surgeon comes highly recommended -- would support that. Keith Pierce

I used to have sciatic pain and doctor Hercerg recommended doing microdiscectomy to treat it. It’s been a month since the surgery and I feel much better and the pain is gone.

Horrible experience with Dr. Herceg. He is very dismissive and does not listen to patient pain concerns. He was very argumentative and would interrupt when trying to explain symptoms. He was very condescending. There seemed to be no care or compassion. I would not ever recommend him to anyone and he doesn’t even deserve one star.

I recently had a L4-L5 back fusion surgery performed by Dr. Herceg. Prior to my surgery, numerous people provided me with unsolicited horror stories about this type of surgery.It is noteworthy that none were performed by Dr. Herceg. Nonetheless, the experiences by others were very unsettling. Consequently, I did my research about this type of surgery and the Ohio surgeons who performed them. Bottom line, for back surgery, Dr. Herceg is your guy. Although not much of a talker, Dr. Herceg is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled surgeon. The horror stories were unfounded. While not pain free, the pain I experienced was minimal and my progress was quick. Dr. Herceg has a great medical team anchored by his assistant CeCe, who may be the hardest working person on the planet. She helped considerably in explaining the process and putting my mind at ease.

By far Great Compassionate Orthopedic Surgeon

Dr. Herceg told me that there was no reason for my pain based on my imaging. Followed up with an excellent neurosurgeon who showed me specific areas on my MRI that were concerning. Ultimately needed a multi-level fusion after trying more conservative therapies.

Dr Herceg is excellent at what he does and genuinely cares. I understand he and his staff are very busy, but you have to pin them down and be quick with your concerns as they will move you along swiftly. I think that because everything is so routine for them that they may not always exhibit the empathy a patient who is scared and unfamiliar needs.

Dr Herceg is by far one of the best surgeons in the world. Not only did he do a great job performing my surgery. He called me while he was on his vacation to make sure I was feeling well. I have been telling everyone about my experience with him and his assistant CeCe. They are hands down the best in the world to me.

Dr Herceg is a true professional! He seen me, had me get an MRI in the office. He seen me right after my MRI and said I needed surgery to repair the spacing between my C5-C6. Had my surgery 4 weeks later. Had no complications and felt relief immediately after surgery. I just seen him for my 2 week follow up and I couldn't be happier. My fingers are no longer tingly and my shoulder pain is almost non-existent. I highly recommend if you have neck pain to see Dr Herceg. The staff at orthepedic one is top tier and took great care of me! I will recommend all my friends and family to Dr Herceg and orthepedic one! Dr Herceg is a true professional!

Best experience I could have asked for. I felt supported every step of the way.

Excellent doctor and staff!

I would trust whole heartedly Dr. Hercig. I'm 55 now and Dr. Hercig performed cervical spine and lower back surgery over 15 years ago and you would never know I had these procedures done. I have replaced disc's in both areas. Both were done within a 9 month period. The care he and his nurse assistant Liz provides is first rate during every visit. They will do everything possible before having to do surgery as a last resort. He will tell you upfront what to expect along the way.. I have referred many people to his care and continue to do so. YOU WILL BE IN THE BEST OF HANDS, TRUST ME!

Dr. Milan Herceg did a very nice job. Efficient yet friendly in his demeanor. Back surgery if any kind is intimidating but his confidence put my mind at ease. I will - and already have - recommended him and Orthopedic One to others.

Dr. M. Herceg has always I made me feel comfortable and explained things you you can understand it.He is very knowledgeable and smart. I would HIGHLY recommend this man. He even goes as far as to send things for you to listen to at home so you can put it together before your surgery date. Hats off to you DR M. Herceg and his Nurse CeCe......., as for the Hospital stay, it was like a resort. Very much impressed with Dublin Methodist Hospital. You have some of the greatest Nursing staff. Hats off to PT Stephanie / Nurses Jennifer,Jill ,Gorge. Nursing assistant Joshua . Those are some I can really remember. Extra (((hug))) for you guys that keep it all together. Hope you get a big pat on the back , I’ve bragged to everyone about your guys and the Dr. love and well wishes to all of you from me back home. Kimberly (Kim) Moses 4 floor 211. ❤️ Dr. M.

I couldn’t be happier with OrthoOne, Dr Herceg and CeCe. I left every appointment feeling I knew what to expect. The surgery went well as did the post op office visit. I highly recommend Dr Herceg and OrthoOne

This is my third back surgery with Dr. Herceg. He has always been kind, caring and professional. I would highly recommend him.

Seems to make snap judgements and doesn't review what was discussed from one meeting to the next. I had a cervical fusion completed and while it went well and resolved the primary issue I was having, I also started having new symptoms immediately following surgery. At follow-up appointments, he would dismiss my concerns and say "that will get better as you heal". At 2nd follow-up, "that will get better as you heal". Then at 3rd follow-up, he tells me I have carpal tunnel syndrome and should see someone different for that. So I developed carpal tunnel after a cervical fusion and never had any symptoms prior to that? I had nerve function testing completed and I don't have carpal tunnel, as I suspected. I'm now 2 years post surgery, the issues continued to get worse, and I'm seeing someone else for another surgery to address the adjacent disc.

Great experience

I’m thankful for his expertise and care. Plus he has a good sense of humor.

I’ll never go anywhere else!! Orthopedic One sets the bar so hi no one else can reach it. I went there for a second opinion and it was the one of the smartest things I’ve ever done.Thank You so much DR.HERCEG !!!!!!!!

I am very thankful for Dr. Herceg and his expertise of my situation. He was very friendly and professional. His team was also very helpful.

I have had very good success with Dr. Herceg and his team with care they've given for my neck and back. I would not hesitate utilizing their expertise and experience again.

Dr Herceg and his staff are awesome. Appreciate them listening and addressing all of our concerns. Appointments are always on time and efficient. Would highly recommend!!

Dr. Herceg made me feel like one of my buddies was doing my procedure. I have never felt more comfortable with surgeon. Him and his staff are incredible!

Was treated with dignity and compassion for my problem with my back and I was very encouraged by Dr. Herceg that he could fix my back and give me a better quality of life.

Dr Herceg is a skilled surgeon with a very efficient practice. He is busy because he is very excellent. I did not need him to hold my hand, his professional support staff will answer all questions and spend time with details. I would always choose an excellent surgeon like Dr. Herceg with confidence. I am grateful for his ability and the absence of excruciating pain.

Each time I went to him it was like we just met. I walked into my first appointment with a cane. Every appointment after that he would ask about the cane and ask the same questions about my symptoms showing no interest in hearing me or being aware of previous visits or discussions. I had 3 injections, First helped, second did nothing, because of Covid, I waited several months for the third. I told him I had started tripping before the third injection. The next week I noticed I had severe drop in my right foot and called for an appointment. This time he was very attentive/concerned. After a MRI/EMG, he through up his hands. The next Monday I was released to my primary Physician. He referred me to Dr. Grossbach at OSU, who actually listened, quickly diagnosed me, and operated on me. I am on my way to recovery. If Dr. Herceg took time to listen and take my symptoms as a whole to diagnose this earlier I would not have developed drop foot and be back at work and a normal life.

Amazing surgeon! I would never choose anyone else

I am a 74 year old man that lived with deteriorating lumbar disc issues for about 10 years. The pain and limitations to my life finally reached a point that surgery was the only option for relieve. Dr. Milan Herceg was the knowledgeable skilled professional I hoped for. Dr. Herceg explained my case and the procedures required to heal me in detail. His personal straightforward consulting reassured me. His staff followed up with even more detailed information on what I should expect and my responsibilities for a successful out come. Two and a half weeks after surgery I am pain free and grateful to be able to do the activities I enjoy.

If your looking for a surgeon who will spend 5 minutes with you and not even read your chart this is the guy.

Dr. Herceg ignored a severe problem. Told me I wouldn’t become paralyzed walking down the street, I became paralyzed while laying in my own bed.

Very organized office very prompt service. Dr. Herceg highly recommend.

Excellent surgeon. Office staff is incredible. Took care of all my medical and paperwork needs. Answered all my questions promptly.

Dr. Herceg was very thorough and polite. He put a plan together to get me on the right road to getting better and I would recommend them to anyone. Such a great office as well.

Fourteen years ago I had a degenerative disc disease with severe sciatic pain that left me dysfunctional with no quality of life. For a couple years I proceeded with every type of treatment (chiropractic, PT, epidural injections, prescription pain killers, etc) until I was left with surgery as a last resort. I had multiple medical opinions, and was NOT expecting Dr. Herceg to recommend a spinal fusion - it seemed so daunting and drastic! But I trusted him and am glad I did! I was recovered in 6 months, playing sports and traveling. All these years later, I am still so grateful for my health and quality of life.

My Husband has had a very complicated medical history with six prior surgeries, and also septic shock in 2010. My husband has been in a lot of pain since then with hips and back. He has already had two hip replacement surgeries and a foot surgery. Dr. Herceg is quiet in nature, but he really listens and gave attention to my husband's and my concerns for my husband undergoing another surgery. Dr. Herceg listened to me, and made sure to keep my husband as safe as possible. Everything went the best it could. I am forever grateful to Dr. Herceg. My husband is too. Dr. Herceg is short on talking but always gave us time when he is so busy. Dr Herceg helps so many people. My husband told me he needed a surgeon who is the best and cares; and does not have to be your "buddy". Dr. Herceg is the Best. We will be forever grateful to him. He kept my husband safe; and helped my husband to regain mobility, and less pain. Dr. Herceg helped us to have the best quality of life for Mike. I have watched Mike have so much pain.

Dr. Herceg did surgery on neck, spine, continue to have issues with pain, and numbness, loss use of arm and leg numerous times and felt he was not listening to what I was telling him, spend months in physical therapy being treated for wrong condition, if he would have taken 5 minutes to check me he would have known that I had blocked artery in my neck. After seeing another doctor I was told in 5 minutes to go straight to hospital for surgery to remove the blockage.

Dr. Herceg saved my Mother's life. My mother had severe spinal cord compression, that was rendering her arms useless. She couldn't fasten buttons. She couldn't write. She also was experiencing leg numbness, hindering her ability to walk. I feared for her future. Whoever said Dr. Herceg has terrible bedside manners is dead wrong. He is a busy Surgeon, and does his talking in the operating room. Thank you Dr. Herceg, for giving my Mother her life back!

Second surgery with dr. Herceg. A great doctor. Definitely recommend him to anyone with back troubles.

The staff was very helpful and scheduled me to see the dr within a week. Dr Herceg was very thorough and very much appreciated. I am hoping for improvement after my scheduled procedure.

Dr. Herceg took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, as well as instill confidence in me that he was the exact surgeon for the job. While clearly busy, he made me feel heard, understood, unrushed, and comfortable in what was to come.

Dr. Herceg knew what was wrong with me in 2 min. This was after spending one week in a Columbus hospital where they said my MRI was unremarkable and treated me for hip pain. He went a conservative approach and when I did not see any improvement I had a discetomy. He helped with my nightmare insurance! I am back to 100 percent after 4 months after being in horrible pain. Highly recommend Dr. Herceg for anything with your back.

Most efficient office I have ever experienced

I was referred to Dr. Herceg by a very trusted family member/ MD. I just wanted to take a second and comment on a few of the reviews here. He is professional and knows his subject matter and his confidence and comfort level is exactly what is needed. He didn’t spend a lot of time with me because he didn’t have to. We both knew what was wrong. He looked at the MRI and we agreed to the surgery and that was that. Staff was excellent and so was Dr. Herceg!

He listened to my back history and was able to make recommendations to move forward with a plan.

He’s a jerk!! I took my mom in for severe back pain. He would rudely interrupt me after I was trying to explain all that’s happened over past several months. It has been heartbreaking watching a loved one cry in pain. I don’t care if he is voted one of top Doctors! In my book his arrogance and ignorance puts him at bottom of the list! I plan to drop movie off called The Doctor! Story of how an arrogant physician who had terrible bedside manner changed after he developed cancer and became the pt

I was referred to Dr. Herceg by my best friend, my PCP, and a massage therapist. I thought Wow! He must be really good! From the moment I met him, he made me feel like I was in good hands. The office worked me in because I was an hour early and everything was so well orchestrated. And to top it off, they were able to schedule surgery for a week out. I'm so excited that this was taken care of so quickly and look forward to pain free living soon! Thanks Dr. Herceg!

I was only given around 3 minutes to review my condition and discuss potential surgery. Did not seem to care about my situation and discuss potential non surgical options. I have since met with other Doctors and have been able to manage my pain.

I have the good fortune of being Dr. Herceg’s patient. He has successfully completed two spinal surgeries. I can move and walk because of him. My care has been exceptional. He is confident and approachable. He is fearless!

He spent less than 3 min with me and did not listen at all. Clearly did not care. Do not recommend. Nurse is used to it and shuffles you right out the door.

I was referred to Dr. Herceg by a former patient. He did a root injection and microdiscectomy on me. I'm still in pain, but thru no fault of his. My suggestion to future patients is to be able to verbalize your complaint in 20 seconds or less. He doesn't spend more than two minutes with you. His staff is horrible. His assistant, Liz, is the worst. I spent a lot of time in the ER because she wouldn't let me talk too or see the doctor. She refused to full in FMLA papers too. Avoid her.

I immediately recommended Dr. Herceg to both my mother and my friend. Both very satisfied. I was completely at ease in his care. The back is a scary thing to mess with and never once did I feel frightened or insecure. I have complete faith in his knowledge and skill. I had my surgery a year ago, but never saw this survey. I am actually looking up his information to seek guidance and a recommendation for another family member. I would 100% recommend Dr. Herceg!
