In our family we have had 3 spinal surgeries all with Dr Gjolaj and his wonderful nurse Lillia. Dr Gjolaj’s team is excellent and his ability to get the best possible results for all our backs was superior. All three members of our family back to doing the things that really matter in life with great ability and no pain. Everyone in our family who had spinal surgery with Dr Gjolaj speak highly of him , his ability to perform very difficult surgeries, his caring personality and the great results they have experienced by following his directions to get back on their feet again. I will highly recommend Dr Gjolaj to anyone who has scoliosis or spinal trouble.

Dr. Gjolaj effectively and pleasantly presented the alternatives to having surgery, and once I told him of my decision to go forward with the surgery he explained what he was going to do and answered all of my questions in a way that made me completely comfortable. I realize Dr. Gjolaj is a busy man, but he made me feel like I was his only patient.

My Husband, suffered with back pain for years and because of friends telling horror stories, let it go until he was referred to and met Dr. Gjolaj. Dr. Gjolaj immediately put him at ease. He explained the operation in terms we could understand what exactly he was going to do and what the recovery time was. We felt more like family. I am recommending Dr. Gjolaj to everyone.

Speaking with Dr. Gjolaj is similar to speaking with a friend....he listens, talks in plain language that is understandable and he takes his time explaining everything. We discussed my progress following surgery and my needs for the future. While I consider Dr. Gjolaj to be an outstanding Dr., he is also a person who is caring, considerate, and never misses the opportunity to ask about family who might not be present during the visit. He listens and tailors follow up to the needs of the patient!
