John Desaloms, MD

Doctor Desaloms laid out my treatment/care plan VERY well. This was important to my family, especially, due to the nature of my procedures. Dr Desalomes is well regarded at other care providers; each and everyone of them showered him with compliments and assured me that I was in good hands with him. That was powerful in and of itself!

Superb neurosurgeon! His work on my lumbar spine relieved me of my agony of pain where it became almost impossible to walk to now my rehabilitation in PT being just regaining strength and ability again. Almost none of original pain and even that will probably go away as time goes! Wonderful work and nice man also!

Doctor Desaloam and team are a perfect fit for me. Conservative during consultation. Never rushes you into surgery but has compassion and empathy when going through the process. When surgery is determined the best path, rest assured you're in great hands. I've had lumbar and cervical surgeries and both were a complete success. From appointments, scheduling, insurance, leave of absence, his team is focused on the patient first. Follow ups for pre and post surgery were never missed. I could go on!

Dr. Desaloms is a down to earth doctor with common sense. He is easy to talk with, puts the patient at ease and doesn’t rush to get you out of the exam room. He is awesome!

Great doctor and staff. Had surgery at Methodist Hospital in Addison. They also have a great staff. Hopefully this Neurostimular lasts the rated 15 years.

Outstanding! I was seeing another dr, but I did not feel heard nor "seen". This practice is different and this is apparent from the start to the end of your visit. The front staff are friendly and welcoming. His NP did more physical evaluation than my last dr did in 2 years. Dr Desaloms listened and he REVIEWED the current and past imaging that I brought! I'm very pleased and highly recommend him to those seeking a great dr.

Dr. Desaloms and his staff provide exceptional care with professionalism, compassion, and genuine concern for their patients. They take the time to listen, answer questions, and ensure you feel informed and supported. Dr. Desaloms delivers honest feedback with empathy and outstanding bedside manner. His team is efficient, caring, and always willing to help. They truly make you feel like more than just a patient, and I am grateful for the excellent care I have received.

This is my second surgical experience with Dr. Desaloms and I would/will send any of my friends or family members to him. He doesn’t cut you just to make money, he cuts you in order to make you better and alleviate your pain.

Dr. Desaloms is an incredible physician, but his staff (Jessica, Stephanie, Eve) are amazing too. From the ladies who work at the front desk to the check out, it’s a great experience at this practice. My surgery went as well as it possibly could have, and every staff member at Methodist Hospital for Surgery has been amazing. I have 100% trust in everyone for my care and I feel I will have an excellent outcome because of the care I have received. I can’t say thank you enough!

For my money, he's the best in the business

William D • May 27, 2026

I messed up my neck a few weeks ago so I’ve seen I think four or five doctors. Dr. Desaloms was one of the nicest, most direct doctors. And Stefani, Dr. Desaloms nurse practitioner was absolutely fantastic. Can’t thank you guys enough.

Great office and a terrific doctor. Took time with me to help understand my somewhat unusual symptoms. Highly recommend him

Richard M • March 25, 2026

I was referred to Dr Desalom by my neurologist whose opinion i trust immensely. He successfully performed my DBS surgery 4 years ago and today he performed the procedure to replace my battery - both went extremely well. He’s a skilled surgeon and surrounds himself with an outstanding team. I highly recommend Dr Desalom and his team.

Karen K • March 23, 2026

As a physician myself, I was absolutely impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of the office. When I needed back care personally, Dr. Desaloms is someone that I can put my faith in 100%. He is an outstanding surgeon but more importantly, he is a caring physician who encourages non surgical solutions when they are an alternative. I recommend him 100%.

Linton K • March 20, 2026

Not only is Dr. Desaloms the finest as far as expertise goes, but he is also a very kind and caring individual who only wants the best for his patients. He will always choose what is the best treatment pathway. Jerry Barker, SR, MD.

Dr. Desaloms and his entire staff are amazing! Had back surgery in 2010 with him and when my back started giving me problems again, I knew who to call. Quick scheduling and consultation. Thorough exam and discussions of my findings. Surgery on Monday! Can’t wait to start feeling good again.

Angela W • March 17, 2026

Dr. Desaloms is an exceptional physician. He explains things very well. Whether you are a physician or a layman you will always have the correct understanding of your treatment. His front office staff is excellent and Eve is always very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend Dr. Desaloms and his office staff to anyone who has any questions about their spinal health.

Ian A • February 27, 2026

We were so fortunate to find Dr. Desalom to finally properly diagnose and treat my husband’s sacral tumor. Dr. Desalom is an amazingly skilled surgeon that takes the time to explain everything in great detail. Eve, his long term scheduler, was also so understanding and accommodating in getting us in and her follow up is in impeccable. Stephanie, Nurse Practitioner, is so thorough, exceptional listener, and one of the best caregivers we have met. Highly recommend!!

Donald B • February 25, 2026

Great as always

Jerry A • February 24, 2026

I’m incredibly grateful for the care I received from Dr. Desaloms. Just seven days after complex spinal surgery to remove a tumor, I’m feeling great. He’s skilled, honest, and has a bedside manner that immediately puts you at ease. His kindness shows at every visit, and his PA, Stephanie, is outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Desaloms to anyone seeking an exceptional neurosurgeon.

Dr Desaloms has helped me return to a normal life by fixing what seemed hopeless. He has restored my neck and lower back to where I can now function as I did many years ago. His team is professional, knowledgeable and, caring. Very happy to have found such a great neurosurgeon!!! I highly recommend him and his team.

Thomas C • January 06, 2026

I cannot speak highly enough about neurosurgeon Dr. Desaloms and his staff. From the moment you walk in, they truly treat you like family. You feel confident that you are going to be well taken care of, and it’s clear that they consistently prioritize what is best for you as a patient—not just the bottom line of the practice. That level of genuine care and integrity is something you don’t find very often these days, and it makes a meaningful difference.

Donna L • December 23, 2025

Dr Desaloms and staff are the great. Competent, caring- very knowledgeable and helpful.
