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.

They set up an appointment for me even though it's three years out. That's wonderful.

Appreciated the office taking the initiative to schedule the next MRI and follow up visit right then, rather than my needing to do it later (or remembering to do it). I've not experienced that before.

Dr.Zwageman knows what he is talking about. I wouldn’t trust any other doctor to take his place. As for the the office they should hire more help but I understand that is hard to come by.

Dr.Nathan was very personable, relatable, straightforward, and honest with my consultation. He explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions. His RN was kind and patient when explaining the results of my imaging and his assistant was so nice and professional when referring me for testing to other offices. I had a really great experience with this clinic and it eased a lot of my fears about what I would encounter with this diagnosis.

I love Dr Z. He is very good at treatment and explanations. I think he was a bit harried but remained caring and considerate.

My experience with your staff was amazing. It's one of the few times in the last 9 months I've truly been listened too. To find a doctor that promises to help me instead of pushing me off onto the next doctor. I can't thank him and his staff enough.

This was a phone consultation. I very much appreciate that this could be done so I didn't have to travel 150 miles to get my MRI results. Dr Zwagerman is very nice and provides excellent care.
