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.

HORRIBLE DOCTOR! DID 2 SPINAL SURGURIES ON ME IN 2 WEEKS STILL HAD NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THEN HE LEFT ON VACATION AND WANTED ME TO WAIT UNTIL HE RETURNED TO HAVE ANYTHING ELSE DONE ON MY BACK EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW I WAS IN TREMENDOUS PAIN. LEFT ME WITH NERVE DAMAGE IN RIGHT LEG . NO FEELING AND IT GOES DEAD WHEN I AM WALKING. DO NOT LET THIS MAN OPERATE ON YOU. IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LOWER THAN A ONE STAR I WOULD GIVE IT TO HIM.

I had tattoos and earing and got labeled so Dr Holt jacked me around until the place closed in July of 2017 then he didn't have to mess with people that looked like me. I put my faith into him, such a let down for a big hot shot doctor!

Dr. Holt did my spinal fusion in 1989. I have went on to have 4 babies, work everyday and led a full life. Without that surgery I would have more than likely been dead by now due to complications from scoliosis. I thank God daily for Dr. Holt and his skill!

Dr Richard Holt has done 2 surgery so on my spine. I seen 4 other surgeons who refused to touch my spine, they said it wasn't possible. I just found out his practice is closing. I hate to start this battle all over again. This Dr help me so much now how do I start all over again.

Completely unprepared and seemed to have no idea why we were there. Also doesn't even know if he's going to be in practice in a few months so he's completely disorganized. Bedside manner SUCKED. Waited 2 hours to get a 3-minute opinion from him that wasn't even complete because he was unprepared. I understand he's a good surgeon, but there's no rule that a doctor can't be good at his craft AND respect people's time and resources.
