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.

Pain Whisperer
I can't understand why all of his reviews are not 5's. From the moment you enter the office- everyone is friendly and caring. The staff in the surgical area are wonderful too. Dr. Iqbal is friendly, professional and beyond capable. He also listens and engages with me-his patient. Today was my third visit and I am proud to recommend him and his entire staff.

Relief
I had surgery 10 months ago which healed the nerve pain in my leg. However I continue to have back pain Dr Iqbal ordered an MRI which he reviewed during my appointment. I appreciate the detailed information and recommendation. Carolyn called this morning to schedule an epidural. I could not be more relieved knowing that I will be receiving a skilled treatment soon. Thank you so much!

Great Doctor
Dr. Iqbal is fantastic. I would agree with every 5 star review posted about him and his staff. I would simply add that his treatments have allowed me to resume my normal life and activities, especially with my family, and for that I am forever grateful.

Wonderful Doctor!!
I have been a patient of Dr. Iqbal for several years and I could not be more pleased. He always takes time to listen to my concerns and comes up with an effective treatment plan. I highly recommend him to anyone who is having back and or spinal issues. He does an excellent job.

I Cannot Understand the Negative Reviews
Dr. Igbal is very concerned about alleviating the pain of his patients. I have had three different kinds of shots. Some of these shots are meant to last longer than others and they are more complicated. I have had good results with all. Through it all, Dr. Igbal has communicated with the other doctors in the practice that I see in determining what should be done. He had ben patient, concerned, kind and professional.

Very satisfied patient
I drive almost two hours to come and consult Dr. Iqbal. I would not go to any other doctor. He is extremely caring and listens to my problems and then tries to find a solution. The staff is very friendly and helpful too. I have been lucky to have found Dr. Iqbal and his team. Extremely happy and grateful too.

What is really wrong with me?
6 weeks after my steroid injection I am in more pain and stiffness then ever before. I go to a follow up visit with this doctor who I have been seeing for some years now with my back problems and now he says it's my hip? My symptoms have not changed only have gotten worse. This doctor ruled out my Hip over two years ago and now he thinks its my hip? They just keep you coming back and forth and don't help. They do not treat you as a whole person, just a body part. I am very disappointed I have spent hundreds of dollars in Co-pays to only feel worse i was not even offered an aspirin.
