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 poor experience
I’ll never forget being so scared for my dad’s experimental lumbar puncture test years ago with Dr. Rosseau for hydrocephalus. I missed her call and called her right back on the number she called from. She was appalled I called her back on “her personal cell” and fiercely let me know it. Zero bedside manner or follow thru. Procedure didn’t work, she wasn’t interested in the tough, potential CTE case of this retired professional hall of fame athlete. She didn’t help us and she had an ego. Disappointing. Much better options out there.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr Rosseau as a surgical rep. I have spent time with her in the operating room and she helped with launching a new ultrasonic device for intracranial and spine surgery. I have worked with many top neurosurgeons in the country and Dr Rosseau sets herself apart, treating you with respect while educating you in the operating room. The best of the best. She has been trusted with care for my mother-in-law and I would highly recommend her, period.
