Dr. Gary is a professional, empathetic and experienced doctor. I felt very comfortable with his knowledge, demeanor and expertise. Thank you!
I would not want to see any other person if they were offered.
Dr Gary and Dr Rodts are very knowledgeable, nice and made me feel like I could trust them with my health care.
Dr. Gary answered all my questions
Very good doctor. Listens well. Explains next steps well.
Dr. Matthew Gary was super nice. He and Dr. Revera explained everything thoroughly to my son and to me. I was hoping a surgical procedure could help me, but after I reviewed the MRI, I realized surgery most likely would not be considered. Dr Gary did recommend that I return to Dr. Susan Dreyer for Ablation, but in a lower position of my back than previously. I will consider doing that to help relieve some of my pain! Very pleased with Dr Gary!
Dr. Gary is phenomenal. He was so kind, extremely knowledgeable, and I felt safe from the minute he walked in the room to talk to me about my surgery. I grew up In a medical family, my father was an anesthesiologist for 37 years. My dad was the one who did the research and found Dr. Gary. My entire family and I were so impressed with him that there was no question I was having my surgery at Emory & he was going to do it. And there is no doubt in my mind that he was the best, he totally changed my life. I am so grateful for Dr. Gary.
Dr Gary save my live with my surgery, And I was able to meet and thank him with this visit, I am fo ever thankful to him, he gave me insight and recommendations for my care and recovery!! The visit was was awesome very Informative and great thanks to him and his team!! And this follow up appointment was one of the best I have ever experienced they definitely set the bar in my opinion
I give Emory Hospital "10's" across the Board
Dr. Matthew Gregory was just amazing so much better than I thought he would be considering he's the best in the field. He put me at easy right away. Going in I was worried I would need surgery and he put me at easy right way. He then showed and explained what is happening around my spine. He then explained a course of action that made sound sense. In the next few months we shall meet again and discuss any changes and treatments. I look forward to seeing this amazing doctor and his incredible staff.
Excellent level of care. Both PA & Dr Gary listened and responded to all of my questions.
The surgeon was especially helpful in communicating with the friend who was at the hospital during my surgery, checking in and updating her throughout the process.
Everything was amazing from check-in to finish. Everyone was very thorough, friendly, and very professional.
Dr Gary is so knowledgeable and thorough and helped improve my quality of life. He's amazing!
The doctor was excellent, among the top doctors I have ever interacted with. He carefully explained what the issue was and showed me what was going on with my MRI. He explained the surgery and the recovery time and the reasons for his recommendations. I would absolutely recommend this doctor.
Dr. Gary is a very thorough communicator
Dr. Gary is really great. I have the utmost confidence in his ability as a surgeon- he just did a major surgery on my cervical spine that is healing beautifully. He listened and addressed every question I had with knowledge & empathy, I felt like he completely understood that I knew this would be a long recovery, but I'm still sad and worried and wish I could just get better and be normal. And that makes a huge difference, that even though there's no magic, and I have to go through it like everyone else, he still had compassion for the part of me that just wanted magic. For whatever reason, that makes it easier for me to just keep going. Feeling heard and understood makes a scary uncomfortable situation SO much better, it makes me want to be strong. So, Dr. Gary is great. A busy doctor who took a little time to answer my concerns and suggest things he and I can do to address them. Great Emory experience. I'm so glad I chose to come here even though I live in SC.
My concerns were answered in planning for the future in relation to my health concerns.
Very knowledgeable in the area of my problem (spinal).
I highly recommend Dr. Gary MD, and the Emory Neurosurgical Spine Surgery Institute
Dr Gary spent a lot of time explaining plan, addressed concerns and answered all questions.
I really like Dr Gary and his staff . I would recommend them in a heartbeat
I am grateful for the surgeon relieving my painToo bad I had to remain in pain up until the surgery date

I had surgery with Dr. Gary eight years ago and decided to use him again this time. He is a wonderful doctor!
Awesome medical personnel
Dr. Gary came highly recommended to me and he was calm and professional during our meeting. If I have to have surgery, I feel confident in Dr. Gary being my surgeon. His PA was thorough and helpful in assessing my physical situation.

Excellent communication, explanations,
Dr Gary and staff are awesome. So was the staff in xray
I felt very well heard when I talked about the issues I was having. I felt like the Dr. Gary was very thorough, I had x-rays before my appointment, then he added on some additional at the end, as well as 2 CT scans. And he obviously knew what he was talking about. He had a wonderful bedside manner and, like I said earlier, the most important thing ever in medicine, I felt like he heard what I was saying. He was not dismissive or trying to get me out the door. Very good experience!
He is extremely intelligent, caring, knowledgeable, and very considerate of patients
Your scale does not go high enough to reflect Dr. Garys excellence!
Felt Dr Gary and his immediate staff assured me I would get the best care for my condition, which was severe. I am not in pain as I had been for a very long time.
Dr Gary is an exceptional surgeon and we have been blessed to have his care.
Dr Gary is an excellent surgeon.
Dr. Gary , answered all my post surgical questions and gave me additional suggestions on how to continue to heal along with next steps. He is awesome
I have had excellent experiences with everyone that I have encountered here at Emory! I highly recommend it!
Dr Gary was very professional and straight forward about my not qualifying for the Ultra Minimum Invasive Endoscopic procedure.. Dr Gary explained the reasons that I don't qualify. I do have an option to undergo major fusion surgery if I decide to have it performed. I like Dr Gary and will recommend Dr Gary to my friends.
Surgeon had not read referring doctor's notes and was unclear as to why I was there. His advice changed several times during discussion. I am not clear as to what next steps are.
Excellent discussion with Dr. Gary. I've had surgeries with him before, so I value his treatment and care. We had a great informative talk about options, and a plan for surgery going forward.
Dr Matthew explained the surgery fine but but gave no other options or showed any consideration to the life challenges after this kind of procedure. Did not have time for my questions and sent his nurse to see me. I was just another problem he had to try and fix it seems. I wonder if he gave any thought to my medical history or what would be the best for my particular situation
My doctor was very good to me
Dr. Gary provided me the best outcome possible and pain free from how I was feeling prior to his surgery in Sep 2024. This was my seventh Spinal surgery over the past 27 years. The results of the 3 prior lumbar surgeries over the past 10 years were ok to terrible. Dr. Gary was able to fix the issues and I awoke from surgery in tears of joy as the pain in my lumbar area was gone. He is very gifted and knows his stuff. Thank you.
Dr. Gary was thorough, engaged and informative.
Dr. Gary clearly explained my health issues and together we came up with the best surgical plan for me.
He thoroughly explained the risks, benefits and consequences of my surgery.
Dr Gary was recommended to us by several people and we were very pleased
Dr Gary is truly amazing! He's very professional and knowledgeable!! He said he would take care of my husband before surgery and he did exactly that!! He talked with confidence and told us exactly what was wrong, what he would do and what to expected afterwards. I would definitely recommend others to him!!!
I'm content with the outcome of procedure. It's the lack of communication or explanation of anything that's frustrating from main surgeon. There's not a lot of forthcoming information. You have to do all of the asking of questions and you get vague answers.
PA, Was professional and listened carefully. Dr Gary showed empathy and professional interest as well as detailed explanation and honest medical opinion along with review of images.
Good bedside manners for surgeon
Dr. Gary is an awesome physician. I would recommend him to my family and my friends, especially facing the issues that I'm facing with pain in my spine.
Thank you Dr. Gary for coming out of surgery to attend to me. You've gone far and beyond with the care I receive from you. Greatly appreciate you doctor.

Dr Gary was very caring, explained in detail his care plan going forward and listened well and addressed my questions and concerns.
First visit. It was too early for the doctor to discuss proposed treatment options.
The caregiver was very respected and explained throughly my condition and what else was needed to complete my condition.
I was wholeheartedly impressed.
Dr. Gary listens well, shows that he cares and answered all my questions.
I would recommend Dr. Gary to anyone with spine issues. He was very conservative with his approach and didnt want to just jump into unnecessary surgery
Dr Gary stated that since my worst pain is in my left legs, lower and middle back and feet and since my right leg only rates a 4 on the pain scale most of the time that he chooses not to operate since it would probably only reduce my right leg pain. Any chance of lowering any pain is what I want. I would like Dr Gary to reconsider his decision not to operate.
I feel like I don't really know what exactly is wrong with me. He gave an explanation of my X-ray and maybe there was some type of communication. When I called and made the appointment I asked the scheduler exactly what Dr. Gary's specialty Was and if he could address my issue. I specifically said, "does he specialize in neurological conditions( us he a neurologist ? ) " The scheduling person assured me he was. I told her specifically about what I needed. She said, yes he was" . I'm confused why I am getting referred to someone who specializes in neurological conditions? I don't know how or why I am being sent to another location. I thought he was a one stop shop. Again I like Dr Gary but I feel like there wasn't a conversation He nor I and his staff had thst told me this. I went by info I had obtained from the staff. Again I actually enjoyed his interaction but there was never clarity on exactly what he would be doing or his role in the process. When I heard I wasn't a candidate for surgery my heart skipped a beat because I never knew that that was an option on the table. I assumed that he could, would address and fix any issue. I feel like I should have been informed from someone that he was only going to or able to help me if I was a surgery candidate. Now I feel I am starting over again. I am glad I was able to schedule an early appointment with him this week. I feel if I would have had to wait a month or two to schedule a follow up I would have been. Extremely upset. This pain I am having is only getting worse. And my back was literally bulging thru my shirt from spasms but we never even got to that point of him lifting up my shirt to see it. Once the dust settled and I made it ho e I realized that I would be seeing the provider I thought I would be seeing in the first place. And that is a neurologist not a surgical neurologist. For this I am so confused on everyone's role and not confident in the next process. I am just frustrated I wish the roles and responsibilities would have been addressed at the first line of communication bc if it would have then I possibly would have chosen another provider. Again, not bc of his manner or hoe I was treated bc I was treated extremely well. But, more so on expertise and knowledge of my particular situation and problem.
Great Dr loved his demeanor when he walked in
Dr Gary explained everything better than any provider, he answered all my questions, took his time.
Dr. Gary and his staff have been amazing to me and my husband before, during and after my surgery! I couldn't ask for better! Excellent!
Dr Matthew Gary changed the quality of my life with the spinal fusion he performed. I am forever grateful.
Most professional experience.
Dr Gary explained several things he saw in examining my back. He has ordered several tests before actually talking to me about what he feels would be best.
Dr. Matthew Gary and hs TEAM of medical professionals communicated crisply and effectively, listened intently and responded accordingly. They were very professional, unbrushed/hurried and clearly my best interests were at their forefront.
I'm glad I came to Emory.
Dr. Gary listened to my questions and answered them so I could understand.
