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. Gentry did back surgery on me in July 2017. The surgery went well but they removed my stitches too soon and I had to go back and have another surgery two weeks later. I also had an infectious disease doctor to insure I was getting an antibiotic to prevent any further issues. At the end everything turned okay and he fixed my problem and no more pain January 24th I go back for another surgery on the vertebrae above the area he fixed. I have faith this time it will go well without any glitche.

Dr. Gentry fixed my first messed up low back surgery with a fusion/hip graft L4-L5S1. He also fixed my right arm, elbow and wrist after a bad fall by decompressing the ulna nerve and fishing carpal tunnel. Finally he did my neck surgery and fused C1-C7. He is a life saver and the most competent surgeon in Amarillo.
