Wonderful once I got to see Dr Jewel
Dr Jewell was very kind and reviewed my MRI with me but is not familiar with Tarlov Cysts which he did tell me. He said he would try and research Tarlov Cyst surgeons and let me know.
The doctor was great and very professional.
Dr. Jewell was very helpful.
Dr. Jewell is an amazing practitioner and human being. Besides being an extraordinarily knowledgeable and capable surgeon, he is a wonderful and caring listener. He performed spine surgery on me 7 years ago on my 78th birthday and I feel privileged to have the great good fortune to have been referred to him. My life has improved greatly thanks to Dr. Jewell.
Dr Jewell was excellent
I have referred many people to Dr. Jewell over the years. They all feel the same about him. Some have had to have surgery others injections, etc.
Excellent- I felt cared for. He took the time to help me understand what I needed to with the list of questions I brought and as a result, learned something additional that reflected the recommendation. I appreciate the frank and empathetic answers as well as hope.
Dr. Jewell was wonderful explaining things. He talks directly to the patients. Very nice
The best
Dr. Jewell is an extraordinary, kind and talented Surgeon
As a physician I have referred others to Dr. Jewell!
It was a very satisfying experience.
Excellent skills
I felt fully informed at all times. Turns out the predicted recovery phases were very accurate.
Dr. Jewell is the best.
The best ever. Perfect balance of being straightforward and clear. Acknowledged my pain without talking down or over me. And set realistic expectations.10 out of 10.
Dr. Jewell is the whole package! personable, professional, knowledgeable, able to communicate the problem and treatment options, is a great listener and evaluator. He uses all type tools available before suggesting surgery. Awesome!
Absolutely outstanding experience. Explained clearly what surgery would involve, using visual aids. Discussed hospital stay, recovery , risks. Was honest . Despite the fact that he is a surgeon he was adamant that the decision was mine!!! Appreciated the fact that he was going to review my case with his team. UVM is fortunate to have Dr. Jewell on staff.
Very good
