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.

Extremely long wait times
Dr. Witherell is very helpful with remediation of lower back pain. The biggest area for improvement is the extremely long wait times between your actual appointment time and when he sees you. He should value his patients time as he does his own.

So far a very good impression
When I first called to made this appointment for my husband it was given to us in matter of 3 days but first they needed MRI and X-rays when they got it the next day I made a call to scheduled my husband appointment. First visit and first impression was good, wait time was excellent once that I had all the paper work done at the time of the visit if not you need at least 15-20 minutes. You can requested them to be send to you by email or mail Doctor took his time to look at the MRI and X-rays and explained every detail to which one was the best procedure for my husband in which is coming up next week. I would give you another review next week.

Dr. Witherell is a very caring, compassionate doctor who knows what he's doing! I've been seeing him for spine pain since 2006. After my surgery in 2007, he has continued to provide me with pain relief. I wouldn't go anywhere else for pain management. I have advanced arthritis and he is a big help to me.
