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.

This neurosurgeon should not be allowed to practice medicine of any kind! He implanted Optimesh within two levels of my lumbar spine WITHOUT MY INFORMED CONSENT. He never even mentioned Optimesh to us, which is not FDA approved to be within the vertebral column. I was never a good candidate for minimally invasive back surgery, let alone a two level lumbar fusion. If you want to save your back, you run as far away from this doctor as possible!

I was really impressed by the Dr. He was very concerned about what was wrong. He offered different ways to figure out what my diagnosis is.

This doctor made it so my mother could not walk on her own without assistance for about a year. She had multiple blood clots that he did not diagnose and the only follow up treatment after her discectomy was to drug her up. Never once did he offer another surgery to fix the problem at hand which was a botched surgery. I would never recommend him to anyone
