Dr Eisenberg is amazing!!
January 19, 2026
The nurse, PT, and doctor were all friendly, helpful and straight to the point. Gave me options and explained their thoughts on my current issues and how to help.
January 17, 2026
Dr Eisenberg is a good communicator. He explains his position and recommendations and then lets me ask questions and express hesitations on my part. He is personable and friendly in a down to earth way. While I do not always like what I hear, I am very willing to think it out and make a sound decision after talking with him. He doesn't push, he just explains situations and possible remedies. (and does that with an air of confidence that is encouraging.)
January 14, 2026
Everyone is so nice and helpful!!

Dr Eisenberg is such a kind person. My progress was explained completely. He listened to my questions and answered them in terms I could easily understand.

My Doctor was great
December 3, 2025
Dr Eisenberg is an10 star! During a very lengthy and traumatic process, Josh was there all the way explaining what will be done and what to expect. Even after complications beyond his control, he was apologetic and walked me thru yet another surgery. I have 100% trust in his knowledge and talent as a surgeon.Josh is very personable and displays a genuineness about himself that is not found in many drs. He keeps conversation regarding your care simple and easy to understand. Josh has great bedside manner and was understanding of my mood swings and went with it. His nursing staff always created me by name. Josh got to know my family as well and even after two years with follow up appointments, he inquires as to how they are and remembers their names. Josh AND HIS WIFE [Name(s)], gets an A++++ and the University of Iowa Hospitals genuinely is the place to go for medical care. I am a fan. I am impressed and cannot say enough great things about the facility, Josh Eisenburg, his wife [Name(s)] and the overall staff!

I have already recommended this department to a friend who is having back issuesl
September 30, 2025
Anna was great. Very kind, friendly putting me at ease, professional and caring. I couldn't have asked for more from Dr. Eisenberg. He has an air of "I'm very good at what I do" but no egotism at all. I especially appreciated the use of my mri impressions to label and visually explain all thingsmy lumbar issues w possible treatments. I liked that "he doesn't do surgery just to do surgery" and that I wasn't quite ready for surgery. I'm waiting for the Unity Pt pain clinic to call me back to setup injections appointments.

May 20, 2025
The doctor was very good in explaining things to me.
May 20, 2025
Dr Eisenberg had to give me news that I did not want to hear and am not mentally ready to hear.

April 29, 2025
Dr. Eisenberg was kind and attentive, and he took the time to understand my issues and to help me understand what I was dealing with. His entire manner was friendly and welcoming.

Great clinical experience. From the time stepping through the door of the building until I left the clinic the whole experience was very impressive
March 26, 2025
I felt the personal connection. Dr Eisenbarth had already looked over my records from previous issues. That knowledge set me at ease. Cassie's bed side manners were so receptive to my quirky humor. Enjoyed meeting and working with your staff.
March 14, 2025
Great people.
March 13, 2025
Good
March 11, 2025

February 17, 2025
Dr Eisenberger is absolutely the best of the best! He takes time with you and shows genuine concern for your well being. He explains his procedures in great length leaving few questions and is very personable and compassionate to your feelings, frustrations (if any) during healing, and thoughts. He is a dynamic surgeon and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

That they will solve my pain issue.
February 10, 2025
They are the best when listening to concerns, they tell me what is best to do to help me with my back, and they are the best with giving me medical excuses and they want the best for me. This is with Dr. Joshua Eisenberg and Cory I'm talking about.
February 3, 2025
Everything about UI is the best from the time you park in to meet with the staff, checking in I feel extremely confident and happy with my visit that it's sad that I healed up so it's like I don't need to come back. But my mom will come so I will go visit my surgeon, and staff especially both dr. Joshua Eisenberg and Cory and the staff there.
February 3, 2025
I am feeling better and I know that the staff and doctors are doing very good work.
February 3, 2025
On the overall, most of the main providers in main hospitals are well informed and keep up with the latest research. This is one of the reasons I come to the U of IA Hospitals. Doctors are willing to explain and talk to you while letting you know of newer options for treatment
January 30, 2025
Great bedside manner!
January 27, 2025
I felt very confident in his ability to care for me. He was so knowledgeable and described my condition so I could understand it really like him.
