Dr. Peter Mayer, MD

Lack of Empathy

I'm disappointed with my experience with Dr. Maher and his staff. It took a long time to get an appointment. His staff is slow to return phone calls or the don't bother calling back at all. So unprofessional. Dr. Maher informed me that he was taking a vacation. He ordered tests. I had a specific place in mind for the tests. His staff has yet to return calls about that. After ordering the tests (my appointment was July 8th. No follow up appointment until September. In the meantime I suffer pain in my lower back, legs and neck. He offered a pain pill prescription. It amazes me about the lack of empathy from some doctors and their staff. I think I will go elsewhere.

He will do. Surgery on lower back June 9 and I’m looking forward to it doctor and God gave me life back

Dr.Mayer is the best Neurosurgeon. He is very knowledgeable and very pleasant. I can’t say enough about his expertees. Always very pleasant

I made an appointment to see Dr. Peter Mayer weeks ago and have had multiple conversations with his staff regarding the appointment, getting my medical records over to them, and so forth. I arrived at my appointment approximately 20 mins early for my appointment on 10/26/2022 at 2:30pm. I checked and and filled out the requested paperwork where I was advised to have a seat and wait for my appointment. After waiting I was called back for my appointment where the nurse proceeded to ask me if my father and I were both vaccinated for Covid-19, I replied I do not have the vaccine but my father does and the nurses response was that the doctor only sees patients who are fully Covid vaccinated and that she would be right back so we sat back down and waited. We were then called up to the check in desk where I was told there is no one else available today and was asked if I could see one of the other doctors PA’s for the next appointment which wasn’t until December…… I’ve already waited about a month for this appointment, had to take a half a day off of work to make it to this current appointment so I lost a half a days pay and had to drive 45 mins to get there each way to then be refused for service due to not having a non-mandatory vaccine……. Which is absolutely unacceptable to delay someone’s care after they have been anticipating a solution to their health issues especially one as painful as back issues. If this is a requirement that this office or specific doctor has they need to stop wasting peoples time and money and advise of this ridiculous requirement before making appointments for people. The staff did not tell me when I called to make the appointment or any of the other times that I had spoken to the staff in the weeks leading up to the appointment as I was getting them my medical records ect. Or even when I first got to the appointment and checked in. I was also informed by the staff that Dr. Mayer is the ONLY doctor who has this requirement at their facility and that none of the other doctors have that as a requirement which once again should be advised before appointments are made if he has such an issue with non-vaccinated individuals instead of wasting everyone’s time. I also was never asked to provide any proof of vaccination or sign any paperwork stating I was actually vaccinated so it’s unfortunate that one simple yes or no answer determines if you are provided healthcare.

We arrived to the office for my wife to have her back looked at as a follow up from the ER. She filled out paperwork that was requested by staff and we waited with masks on. When we got up after being called we where asked if we had the Covid-19 shot. We both said “No.” The lady asked us to have a seat and wait. About 10 or 15 minutes went by before she called us back up. She took our temps and let us in. After waiting for Doctor Mayer he walked in without knocking. He asked my wife how she was feeling before asking her how old she was. He then questioned what she did for a living before raising his voice and stating “Why didn’t you get the covid shot?” My wife said “I elected not too.” He then turned to me asking have I been vaccinated. I told him no. He’s crossed his arms and stood at the backside of the room. My wife replied “ Nobody said it was requirement to be seen.” Doctor Mayer responded with “ Its not the office it’s me! Some how you slipped through the. back door!?” At this p

excellent Doc, however the office staff is awful. They do not respond in a timely manner to anything. Because of the terrible staff, I cannot recommend this office.

Office is well run, employees friendly and helpful. Dr Mayer was empathetic and exceptionally helpful. Highly recommend.

I had unexpected surgery in February 2021 that I had been putting off for years. Dr Mayer was so good I wish I had done it sooner.

Dr. Mayer is Outstanding! Had spinal surgery...100% pain free now. Everything was explained to the letter. Donna, his right hand person is Incredible. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Mayer to anyone!

In my opinion, Dr. Mayer is the best. I found him to be caring and concerned not only for me but for my family. Because of him (and a lot of answered prayer), I am able to walk instead of being confined to a wheelchair! Dr. Mayer is my hero and I would recommend him to anyone needing a specialist in his area of expertise.

He's THE BEST! Super good surgeon. He's brilliant. Skilled surgical hands and has a great personality. His PA Donna is brilliant too. I highly recommend him. ??????

Amazing surgeon. Operated on my husband's broken back & had to add rods and screws. Highly recommend!!!!

He operated on me in October 2018 Great for a month then BAM I suffered muscle spasms and extreme nerve pain Now it's 17Jul29 and I'm bedridden Hopefully the next surgeon can correct the damage so I can walk sit and enjoy life

This doctor does so few procedures that it's concerning. My procedure went awry and in retrospect, I should have selected a busier neurosurgeon. Dr. Mayer is not very friendly at all and his staff is equally unfriendly. Not recommended at all.

Dr. Mayer performed a microdiscetomy on my back in June of 2018 and I cannot say enough good things about him and his assistant Donna. I was admitted to SMH on an emergency basis due to the extreme pain I was in and was a patient for three days. They kept me and my husband well informed before and after the surgery and couldn't have been any more compassionate. I would highly recommend Dr. Mayer and his staff to anyone with back or spine issues. Very professional!

Dr.Mayer and his team saved my life! I highly recommend Dr. Mayer to anyone that's needs critical care! Warm, compassionate, caring and willing to go the whole 9 yards to help and support the family through the trying times. Thank you Dr. Mayer and Donna aka "The Closer" his PA wonderful people! Be blessed and a blessing Jeff Brown
