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.

Fantastic doctor!
He is truly exceptional in today’s world. My condition(s), like so many others, is complex. He is a great listener, and deliverer of information. If you don’t understand something, he has the ability to break it down. He informs! He’s so professional and respectful too. Highly recommend him!

I found Dr Tinklepaugh a delight. Great bedside manner. I really liked him. But, I can't understand why he refused to see me for the results of all the testing. I informed his staff that I could not access my records on line. I still don't the results. Aside from that I would have given him 5 stars It's been Many months later and I still don't have any results. I'm very sad to say I will no longer require his services. I Really like him, but I can't have a doc that believes rumors rather than talk to me about it or at the very least take a look at my records. X-Rays, MRIs, Scans etc. I'm pretty sure they don't lie. Aside from that I think he is a great doctor. And I would recommend him.

I had my first visit with Dr. Tinklepaugh this week. I was delighted with him. He was warm, kind, and listened to me. He was genuinely happy with my progress, and willing to explore other options if I should need them in the future. I would absolutely recommend (maybe insist) my family and friends see Dr. Tinklepaugh if they need a neurologist. He was a breath of fresh air after seeing my former neurologist who recently retired. I'll no longer dread my visits.
