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.

Dynamite Doctor
From the minute you meet Dr Mehta you can immediately tell how caring and compassionate he is. He is polite, knowledgeable, and he has excellent bedside manner. He follows up with his patients and makes sure that every single question you have is answered. He is an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend him if you have back pain !

Dr Mehta was very present, knowledgable, and willing to collaborate on exploring healing possibilities. He is appropriately cautious in recommending interventions. I recommend searching for his YouTube lectures!

The Gold Standard in Medicine
Dr. Mehta was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He understands the medicine and surgery. It would be needed to improve my painful spinal stenosis There was no false hope, there was no medical mumbo-jumbo, just the facts. He did the procedure which was surgical in one of the finest hospitals I have ever seen (I am an RN and medical malpractice defense attorney). Without any reservations, I have great respect for this physician and I recommend him.

He had reviewed my situation with my referring doctor and do advised me of my options and the issues I could face. Very professional and very personable . I am waiting to hear from him to determine my next step but I felt totally confident in him. All things about my visit were positive particularly the fact that he thought ex rays were needed and had them taken at this visit saving me a second trip,

Terrible doctor, completely disinterested in patient care. Lacking compassion. Turned up late, cut appointment short. Couldn't answer direct medications questions. Do NOT recommend.

He listened carefully to my history and current problems. Then he very clearly explained treatment options. His response was specifically tailored to my needs, and did not appear to be a generic set of options.
