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.

Doctor Spiegel performed a operation on my husband, who had been hit by a drunk driver. He sustained a compound fracture of his left femur. Another surgeon with more experience and a bigger picture of my husbands future use of his leg placed a rod in his hip for stabilization. The rod started to move. Dr. Spiegel dismissed his complaints of pain and when he removed the rod he sliced through all his glut muscles, latissimus, tensor muscles. He is in so much pain now. I would never use this Dr.
