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.

Saved From Unnecessary Surgery
Dr. Wilberger saved my wife from unnecessary spinal surgery when another neurosurgeon, at another hospital, was eager to start cutting. Surgery would not have helped the arthritis in her spine but the physiotherapy recommended by Dr. Wilberger did.Please, always get a second opinion before undergoing spinal surgery.

Dr Wilberger staff totally negligent in care of patients that have had surgery. Husband had surgery in 2015 and did not really get relief. He referred to pain mgmt. She was not able to relieve discomfort. In January 2017, we tried to contact Dr. Wilberger. Left 2 messages and no return call. We stopped at the hospital and was told his nurse was out and would return that week. No call. We ended up at Cleveland Clinic and doctor there recognized problem and has scheduled surgery with results

it was one of the worst experiences I have had with a doctor, I explained to him that I was tired of being passed around from doctor to doctor and that I just wanted my pain to be gone, I wanted surgery. he said he could do it but wouldn't, he would however send me to another doctor, I explained again that I was tired of being passed around and he stated he wouldn't do the surgery, his nurse brought my cd's to me and I tossed them on the chair, she stated I threw them at her, I did not.
