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.

From his reviews, he is a perfect fit for many patients and their conditions, however, in my case, even as an existing patient, I felt dismissed and unheard. His staff, the nurse practitioner, and others were very attentive and caring - I felt they understood the extent and severity of my concerns - but when Dr. Sperling joined the exam, he dismissed my concerns and without going into detail, his advice for a major neurological event was to meditate and take a walk. It was one of the most dismissive and humiliating moments in my life.

Dr. Sperling has been treating my son over 30 years for epilepsy. He is very knowledgeable and very nice. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs neurologist and particularly for the treatment of epilepsy.

I was referred to Dr.Sperling from my sister's friend who is eplileptic and was seizure free for years because of Dr.Sperling. She said he is world known, he has patients from India travel to him and he specalizes in epilepsy. As a fellow epileptic it was comforting to hear he had such good reviews. I have been seeing him for 2 years now. He properly diagnosed me when other doctors just guessed and over dosed me (his words) with medicine that hurt me more than helped me.
