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. Tomeceks an amazing Dr. I was in pain severely for so long and feared spine surgery. He came highly recommend and at the first meeting I was so relaxed. He’s got a wonderful manor and very through about the treatment. Surgery was successful he was very kind in hospital and office always has time to listen. He really listens! Takes notes! I love his office and staff! Communication is key and they do it very well. Thank you all for the relief and wonderful care. I absolutely recommend their office.

Caring, knows the spine and amazing Surgeon
What I love about Dr. Tomecek is that he is soft spoken and thinks outside the box. He is not afraid to do what he knows best. I had cervical fusion and titanium and I came out feeling great. Love love his knowledge and caring ways. (Good luck getting in, I recommend faxing him a letter because his assistant is overworked and does not call back for months until after a complaint is done.

Life saver!
I went to Dr. Tomecek because I felt like I was paralyzed on one side and could not even hold my phone. I also had a hard time walking and was in a lot of pain. He reviewed my MRI and explained the severity of my case. If I didn’t have surgery, I could be paralyzed. I had total confidence that Dr. Tomecek would help me with this extensive surgery. He explained in detail what he was planning to do and let me know it would be a long surgery. I know his hands were guided by God because after surgery, I felt like nothing was ever wrong with me. I also had no complications and couldn’t thank Dr. Tomecek enough because he gave my life back to me. If you feel hopeless, as though no one could help you, I highly recommend Dr. Tomecek because he is a miracle worker. May God bless him.

Dr. Tomacek is a very good surgeon. Very knowledgeable about what he does. Spends time explaining everything in detail about your procedure. Not only is he an excellent physician, but, his office runs the same way. Everybody in his office are courteous and very nice. I would recommend Dr. Tomacek to anyone.

I am 8 months past my double spinal fusion surgery performed by Dr. Tomecek and his team. I am very very happy with the outcome, and how I was treated before and after my surgery. My life and activity level have returned, and I am free of the crippling pain in my right leg that kept me from doing the things I enjoy. My recovery from the surgery went well beyond expectations; most important thing was I did what the good Doctor told me to do! I would recommend Dr. Tomecek to anyone who is looking for a spine surgeon.

Each appt has gone really good. I wish this last appt had not gotten cancelled but understand emergency surgeries do take precedence. I'm hoping that my surgery is scheduled soon & that the fitting for a custom neck brace is done so that Dr. Tomecek doesn't have to whittle one down to fit my my small size. I may be small but have a determined spirit to do my part in making Dr. Tomeceks a success story.
