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.

Just came from Dr. Justiz's office. Spent almost an hour filling out paperwork. Dr. Justiz didn't even show us the courtesy of coming in the exam room to talk to us. We waited about 10 days to get an appointment and then be treated like this was very disappointing.

Lumbar osteoarthritis
He did a great job found the area of nerves causing the pain in my lumbar region. Suggested a spinal pain stimulator to help with a diagnosis of a complex regional pain syndrome. I did the 7-10 day trial and it block about 85-90% of my lumbar pain issues. I have arthritis in my spine faucet syndrome it greatly helped with that sharp pain issue.

I have seen Dr. Justiz for many years now, several injections with amazing results. Since starting with Dr. Justiz I have resumed my prior physical activities, especially working out, skiing and cycling. Not only is Dr. Justiz an expert in his field, but it is obvious that he loves treating patients and truly cares.

Great doctor/Terrible staff!
I have been seeing Dr Justiz for almost 10years. He is one of the best PM doctors in OKC. He’s also a great guy. His office staff has always been very professional and efficient. But the past 6mos his office staff has completely changed, several times. Since that time there hasn’t been one month go by that there wasn’t an issue with something. They have been condescension and rude when I have called to straighten out these errors. I’m a very patient and forgiving person and don’t want to leave Dr Justiz but I won’t be treated as if I am the problem when they are the ones not doing their job. Maybe they should look at my records and see I’ve never had problems for 10 years, what’s changed that I’m so dissatisfied now? I will miss Dr Justiz.
