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.

Dr Savage has preformed 2 surgeries on my back and I feel so much better! Grateful and out of pain.

not satisfactory! He was condescending and had no listening skills whatsoever. Since then, I have found another practice, which although it also is bound by "corporate medicine," in that we are all now numbers, at least they listen and they inform in a reasonably professional manner.

Would NOT recommend Dr. Savage to anyone. Had a very bad experience. Was not a good listener and was rude. Felt like a number not a person. Waited in the lobby for over an hour and when in the office was rushed out.

As a ARNP, I found Dr. Savage to be very forthright with the information, diagnosis, procedure and expected outcome. Extremely professional and did a amazing job on my surgery. I would definately recommend him as he is a doctor that tells you how it is and does try to sugar coat or fluff anything.

As an RN and a patient, I have found dr savage to be rude and egocentric. His practice is average at best.

I picked Dr Savage based on his credentials. Boy, was I mistaken. He was very rude, asked who referred me to him and only cared about who prescribed myou pain meds. He bolted out the room and did not let me ask questions about my concerns. He gave me 2 minutes. He's very unprofessional and honestly, he doesn't care about your questions or concerns. I will never go back to this rude surgeon again. Trust me, find someone else because this man could care less about your prior diagnosis or pain leve
