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.

Great Experience so far!
The office staff is amazing, the first time I saw Dr. I was not sure he understood the amount of pain I was in, but by the third experience, which was yesterday before my surgery, he was smiling and personable! He explains everything in great detail, sets realistic expectations, and I am 24 hours post surgery, and already the pain is less than before. I also never had a Dr tell me he prayed for me, and that meant allot. Also the staff at Nacogdoches hospital were amazing, I felt cared for and looked after, truly a great experience! I will post again after I see outcome!!

The worst experience I have ever had by a Dr. Referred by North hills hospital. I would not recommend this Dr. To anyone. He did not believe I was in pain and had no idea why I could not move my shoulder. Told me my insurance would not pay for an MRI AND it took his office a week to schedule it.
