About Me

I specialize in non-operative care of neck and back pain, spinal nerve root impingements and pre-operative orthopedic spine management.

I treat conditions such as neck and back pain, disc herniations, nerve root impingement, fractures, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and spinal tumors.

I believe in treating patients the way I would want to be treated — discover or how I would want my family to be treated. I create treatment plans with my patients and am always working to find answers and solutions to ease their discomfort quickly and carefully.

Most Recent Comments

  • Mr. Hemond exceeded all my expectations. He listened carefully, explained my MRI & his thoughts on my condition in great detail, and spent as much time as I needed. He was kind, concerned & pro-active.
  • Robert Hemond is exceptional!
  • I have been very impressed with the care and concern provided by Mr. Hemond.
  • Robert Hemond is amazing, have been seeing him for years, very knowledgeable, friendly and precise.
  • Delighted at explanation. Was clear and concise. Thank you.
  • As a 57-year-old man, I found his impatience and condescension very off putting. Ask a question, I start to answer, cuts me off after three words and repeats the question. I'm not the overly sensitive type, but his initial interaction (the first 5-10 minutes) I was close to just walking out. The visit improved after the redness in my face became obvious and finished amicably.
  • Again everything was very good.
  • Excellent
  • Took the time to listen. Very caring.
  • Hemond is excellent. Access is a challenge.
  • Wonderful Dr. Robert Hemond.
  • Everything when so fast and smooth thanks to the UVM team.
  • I would not recommend Robert Hemond to anyone. He was unfriendly, did not introduce himself, seemed unconcerned about how my issue was affecting my life, when asking me questions and I would ask for clarification, he was short, rude and cut me off before I could speak, told me there was nothing anyone there could do for me. When asked if he would like to follow up with him he said he did not need to ever see him again. I left that office in tears.
  • I was very pleased with all aspects of my visit.
  • Excellent follow up visit with the PA.
  • Not impressed with this PA's professionalism, care or how he made me feel about the appt I waited months for. A very disappointing experience
  • He is awesome, very knowledgeable in his field.
