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.

Very Professional and informative
Dr. Middlebrooks explained my back issues with me thoroughly and answered all my questions. We came up with a plan of action to correct my lower back problems and I agree with his recommendation. I would highly recommend him to anyone who ask about him. He got right to the heart of my problem and recommended that I have miminally invasive surgery to correct my back issues.

Knee Pain
Dr Middlebrooks and his PA examined my knee, which has had chronic pain for a couple of months. They took x-rays and identified that structurally the spacings were normal. Took me through series of movements- which caused little pain. The bottom line, they recommended anti- inflammatory and physical therapy. It was good to get peace of mind that my issue was not structural, seemingly.. very practical approach, which I greatly appreciate. Dr Middlebrooks had operated on my knee 13 yrs ago, and this was the first time I had any issue with the knee. I appreciate the great job done then, and the fact that his care back then has carried forward successfully up to today.

Great Surgeon
I have seen Dr Middlebrooks through the years for neck and back pain. He has always been honest and waited until I needed back surgery instead of just doing it. He was very thorough about what he was going to do and answered my questions. Great recovery. Fixed my issues.

Awesome physician/surgeon
I had a deteriorated disc in lower back; the bone had shifted and was impinging on a nerve which caused me to literally not be able to sit! After 2 epidurals which did nothing, it was suggested surgery was the next option! It was successful and I got my life back! Thank you Dr. Middlebrooks!!!

Bad experience
I was on time for the doctor's appointment but I had to wait and lost more than an hour for medical attention.Then, during medical evaluation Dr. Middlebrooks, didn't respond a question in a professional way.

Satisfied Patient
Recurring disc issues. (Osteoarthritis/Stenosis). 2 surgeries 10 years ago, feared another would be necessary. Dr. Middlebrooks reviewed MRI and suggested epidural steroid injections instead. Have had one and one more scheduled soon. Hopefully they will help, but at least he wasn't anxious to rush into the OR before trying non-invasive approach first. I'm very confident in his ability and professional judgment.

Dr Middlebrooks
Have been seeing Dr Middlebrooks for 10 years. He has done L4-L5 fusion, L5-S1 Micro dis e tiny and will perform L3-L4 Fusion this month. I find him to be extremely knowledgeable, highly trained and skilled and is willing to take whatever time necessary to explain why procedures are needed and answer any questions I might have. I highly recommend Dr. Middlebrooks,

Despicable
If I could leave 0 stars I would. My aunt has been suffering with severe back pain and sciatica, to the point of barely being able to walk. After considerable time spent trying to get in for appointments, she finally set her surgery for 3-22-22. Late in the afternoon of 3-21-22, while hiding behind his nurse, he cancelled her surgery! He wouldn't speak with her directly, and the excuse given was he "has" to go out of town and he doesn't want to do her surgery and then leave. He should not have scheduled her, he should have planned better, he should have arranged for another surgeon to perform the surgery. He should/could have arranged for another attending surgeon to follow up post-surgically. This woman is suffering. He should have been more professional. I was not surprised when I encountered his arrogant attitude, it comes with the profession, but his inability to empathize and allow his patient to suffer. We will be looking for another specialist.

Dr. Middlebrooks took a conservative approach when I came to him in severe pain. He ordered an MRI and I jumped on it and it to him asap. Once he saw the large herniated disc he got me back in and scheduled for surgery the next week. I was a little nervous because of the reviews, but the treatment I got far exceeded my expectations. Who would have thought you could have a fusion on an outpatient basis. Awesome team, excellent care on-site and followed up with several calls. The pain down my arm was gone when I came to. So glad I went to Dr. Middlebrooks and his excellent staff!

If you make the mistake I did and stick with him. You will feel my pain of being treated like cattle with price tags hanging on my head. He doesn’t listen to patients and as soon as he steps in he walks right out. I never got a true exam from him. After making the mistake I went to a real doctor who sat down with me and listened. After listening to me he did not one, not two, but many physical tests on me. The real doctor also looked over all my pictures and found many concerns.
