Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He explained the procedure very well to ease my concerns about having it. He was understanding of the discomfort the injections were causing. He offered a solution to help with the discomfort the next time I get them.

Great bedside manner
He took time to show me my results and explained what the next steps were going to be in my treatment. If I had any questions he took time out to address them and didn't make you feel silly for asking them. His whole office staff made you feel comfortable and not just another patient to the list of many through the day. Very clean and sanitary.

Dr. Alex is fabulous. I have had two injections and I cannot express how much they help. Dr Alex explains what he is doing throughout the injection process. He and his assistant Cathy are wonderful!

Dr. Golovlev is the BEST!
Dr. Golovlev was the first doctor I saw here in TN who was able to pinpoint the source of my lower back pain. He actually listens to my concerns and gives me a say about what he suggests is the best treatment for me. He is simply the BEST!

I highly recommend Dr. Golovlev
My visits have all been good. The wait time in the waiting room is brief. The ladies are very nice and helpful. Dr. Golovlev's Nurse is very sweet and makes me feel comfortable. Dr. Golovlev is very soft spoken, kind, listens, answers all questions I have. Overall I give everyone the highest score. I highly recommend Dr. Golovlev to anyone with back pain. I have suffered with it for most of my life. The procedures he is doing on me now are helping a lot. He first tried epidurals which didn't last long. Now he's doing nerve blocks. I just had my 1st one 4 days ago and so far I've not had any pain.
