Paul Sponseller, MD

"Dr Sponseller performed my spinal fusion surgery over 20 years ago when I was 13 to correct my thoracic scoliosis. To this day I don't experience any pain, and I know that's not the case for everyone."

"Dr. Sponseller Is absolutely amazing and truly a gift from God.He has been seeing my son for a year and a half and has done multiple surgeries and we are completely grateful that he is our sons doctor. Every time we meet with him or talk with him via email you can tell how passionate he is about each patient he cares for.I spoke with several of his residences that work under him and they are completely amazed how he handles so much and how Mich's in an honor to work with him. He is the BEST!!!!"

"Dr. Sponseller is a great, kind, empathetic doctor. He helped my son walk without a limp and foot flat on the floor. My son legs were two different lengths and his foot had a deformity. Now after several surgeries led by Dr. Sponseller my son can lead a normal life. He is a typical teenager and do all the things I dreamt he could do and much more. I am forever grateful for Doc and his wonderful team for caring for my son. They listened to every concern we had and made sure they were all addressed. I appreciate how he put my son mind at ease whenever he would feel stressed. Thank you very much Dr. Sponseller and thank you for your wonderful team as well."

"We had gone to another doctor closer to our home for my daughter's hip dysplasia. We were unhappy with the wait times as well as the lack of thoroughness during our appointment. We felt like we were going through the motions but didn't understand that much about what was going on with her. We got a second opinion by Dr Sponseller and boy are we glad we did. He was so thorough and knowledgeable, had wonderful bedside manners, and took the time to explain everything to us and answer all our questions. His staff is very friendly and we have decided to make him our daughters doctor for this specialty even with the extra time and effort it takes for us to get there. We are very glad to have found him at Hopkins!"

"Dr. Sponseller has done an excellent job treating my sons bilateral clubbed feet! He was in his first casts at less than a month old and they were corrected by three months! Could not have hoped for a better outcome. He listens to your concerns and takes the time to explain everything even though his schedule is always super packed. We have had to wait a while to be seen multiple times but definitely worth it."

"My family can't say enough positive things about Dr Sponseller and his orthopedic team at Johns Hopkins. Our daughter's spinal fusion (T2-L3) was not an easy case, and did not come without some complications, but Dr Sponseller and his team took great care to keep us informed throughout. We found them all to be easily accessible to answer questions even late at night through email. We feel very fortunate to have someone of his skill and reputation so close to home (3hr by car)."

"Dr. Sponseller is always attentive to my son's concerns and is reassuring about his progress. He is an incredible surgeon and has done wonders for our son. We highly recommend him!"

"Dr. Sponseller is an amazing doctor. His skill is unparalleled and allowed me to have peace of mind when my son needed major back surgery. The surgery and recovery went exactly as Dr. Sponseller explained it would, and his bedside manner made the entire process feel more manageable. He was accessible and responsive when we had questions. He really knows what he's doing and is able to communicate expectations in a helpful way."
