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.

The doctor took the time to find out what was going on in my life and the physical problems I was having. He had already reviewed my MRI and was able to discuss the problem and what he proposed for the solution. He is concerned about his patience and proactive in treating them

Dr. Dedes And his team have literally changed my life in the most amazing way! The staff is courteous, intelligent, extraordinarily thorough and prompt to respond to any and all needs. I have received multiple procedures from Dr. Dedes and all have been extraordinary. I have been a chronic pain patient for almost 30 years, and this is the best experience and service with a pain management doctor and staff that I have ever had! Dr. Dedes is a warm, gentle, timely, extraordinarily knowledgeable and patient doctor. I trust him implicitly, and you will too! I highly recommend this group for anyone looking for a physician to listen to your needs and develop a near instant plan of action for your relief, Dr. Dedes is your man! Thank you, Dr. D. and the rest of your five star team!

Dr. Dedes and every staff member I’ve interacted with have made me feel seen, heard and valued. While my progress has been slow, I wholeheartedly trust this provider because I know my health goals are genuinely supported by their consistent care and consideration. Not only is the level of professionalism stellar, but I so appreciate the positivity and light hearted energy of both Dr. Dedes and his team. Lucky me!

He is very rude. He will keep you wanting forever and the comes in and acts like you are a bother to him. Him & his staff kept giving me a run around until one nurse said that If I lose weight he will treat me better. Such a unprofessional man.
