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.

Very professional, caring, and even has a nice sense of humor. He answered any and all questions in a way that was easily understood. I would recommend him to anyone.

Outstanding medical professional, attentive, answers questions without making the patient feel like an idiot and is dare good at what he does. He implanted a spinal chord simulator in my lower back and has been great with making and keeping follow up appointments. He treats me like a valued person . And, finally, unlike most docs, he remembers my name. and, oh, finally, this guy is a internationally renowned and respected authority on ethical behavior in the field of medicine. Cool.
