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.

Dr hylton performed a cervical fusion C5/6 6/7 back in 2014. Dr Hylton took so much time with me and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Best DR ever!

I have had a few surgeries that Dr Hylton has done. He has always listened to all my concerns and has always explained everything that he has found and what needs to be done to fix each problem. His office staff is very caring and will do anything they can to help, whether it be with appointments or with insurance. I don’t think you could find a better surgeon. If you have issues that other surgeons dismiss or can’t find, Don’t waste more time just go so Dr. Hylton and his staff.

I had a benign menningioma size half a tennis ball. Dr. Hylton did the surgery on Monday and I went home on Wednesday morning. Since the surgery all medical folks I see tell me how lucky I am. I feel that Phillip Hylton is the reason. I had to drive over 200 miles and if I had to do it again I would go any distance for the quality medical care that I recieived by Dr. Hilton.

Absolutely the best surgeon you could choose. Exceptional skills as a surgeon and very approachable with all my questions. Explained in detail what he needed to do and why. It will be a sad day in neurosurgery when this doctor retires!

First and foremost, Dr Hylton has a great sense of humor!! This served me well to the point of keeping me calm. To me anyway, he has the gift of taking an complex issue, speaking in a language that breaks the issue down and lays it in your lap!! For those in Rio Linda, makes it easy to understand!! That's a gift, not a true learnable talent in my humble opinion. Would I reccommend his services?? Without hesitation!!! He cares, extremely talented and funny. Why would one see anyone else?

I would recommend Dr Hyltont to any of my family and friends. I had c-5/c6 fusion and a c4/c5. He was very professional and very caring Dr. If I have to have another surgery he will be my first pick. Thank you Dr Hylton and your staff is wonderful and friendly.

After my neck surgery, the chronic pain in my neck was gone immediately after the surgery! He is very professional and explained my neck condition to me as no specialist I had seen prior to Dr Hylton.

Dr. Hylton demonstrated ZERO interest in learning anything about my medical history. He approached me with a false assumption of why I was seeking his help. My condition did not match his expectation of why I was referred to see him, and he dismissed my explanations of my symptoms. He was grossly unhelpful, condescending, and a complete waste of my time. I am still seeking answers, and he was not remotely interested in helping me. Period. I would not recommend this charade to anyone.
