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 is a wonderful back surgeon!

I really appreciated Dr. Meyer's thoughtfulness and careful attention to explaining what he saw, what my prognosis is and what confirmatory tests my neurosurgeon might want to perform to narrow the diagnosis and treatment plan. I didn't feel like he was pushing surgery just because he's a surgeon.

I feel as though the provider spoke with me as the medically complex individual I am and not as though I'm just one more patient. I appreciate that he recognized I do have some medical knowledge as opposed to my being the type of patient who can't even name my meds. He tailored his explanations and discussions to my level of understanding which I rarely find.

He does not jump to conclusions. Some other physicians do. His initial treatment makes sense. If it's all I need, that would be a nice surprise. If not, he'll know more when he thinks about the next step. I was relieved that a surgeon with his long experience was not alarmed when he saw my spinal problem.

Dr. Meyer is one of the good physicians. He provides excellent care for his patients, he is one of the few who listens to your concerns and provides feedback, he doesn't force solutions on you. He shares what your options are and allows you to decide the next step.

Dr. Meyer was wonderful as he talked with me about the need for a possible surgical procedure. His sat and talked with me, explained the rationale, next steps and gave me the names of two colleagues to see for a second opinion. He has been my trusted orthopedic guide, and I was very grateful for his help and support.

Dr Meyer was very thorough, explained everything. He made me comfortable and confident in our plan of care. His staff were very professional and put me at ease. They were good precursors to whatever expectations I might have had at that time. Dr Meyer came highly recommended and I have read and watched good things.
