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.

Focused and professional Surgeon
Dr. Maslak was thorough, precise and politely answered every question we had. I felt he listened to our concerns and addressed each one. I haven't had my surgery yet, but feel very confident in his abilities. I appreciated that he was able to get me an appointment quickly and set up my surgery in 2 weeks! The office staff was also very kind and accommodating.

Dr. Maslak made back worse.
Dr. Maslak didn't take care of my mother's back. The first surgery that was set he changed the date right before the scheduled time. Then the second surgery was set and he just cancelled it completely 9 days before the surgery and is now unable to help her! Terrible practice!

Knowledgeable and attentive.
Upon meeting Dr. Maslak, and after telling him a bit more about what brought me in and why, I noticed he was really listening. This immediately put me at ease and as the appointment continued, not once was I interrupted or made to feel unimportant. Wrong assessments on my part were kindly corrected. He was very informative and answered my questions in depth. He thoroughly explained the results of my MRI and X-rays illustrating where and detailing what was causing my symptoms. After months not quite sure of prognosis and an unsuccessful outcome from the first treatment for symptoms, I left the office hopeful, with a better understanding of my previous diagnosis and with clarity on what to expect going forward.

Conservative approach and through exam
I can’t tell you what a Godsend it was to see Dr. Maslak for another opinion. I was told some pretty frightening news from another surgeon and thought that a major surgery was in my immediate future. He really took the time to review my history, my tests and listen to my back story. Instead of jumping into surgery he recommended a much more conservative approach. He explained his reasoning and why he felt this was the best course of action. I can’t be more happy with his professionalism and not rushing into surgery. Really appreciated his approach.
