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.

Exceptional Surgeon!
Dr. Robert Harper fused my L4, L5, and S1 discs on April 8, 2025. Dr. Harper is a skilled and caring surgeon. I had suffered from intense back pain for three years and Dr. Harper knew exactly what to do to resolve my back pain. Dr. Harper is empathetic and will do anything to help his patients. He even came into the hospital on a Sunday afternoon to check in on me! I would highly recommend Dr. Harper for anyone needing help with back issues.

Dr. Harper is a brilliant physician and. Surgeon!
Dr. Harper and his assistant are a very engaging, friendly caring and compassionate team! From the very first time I met Dr. Harper I felt confident about my back surgery, which, as anybody knows can be a scary experience.

After surgery check-up
A year ago Dr Harper did a complicated back surgery on me.He has been supportive and caring from the time of the surgery through the past year. I would highly recommend Dr Harper both as a surgeon and a compassionate caring human being.

Beware
Dr. Harper performed an ACDF, C3-C7 surgery on me in Spring 2023. Less than a year later, the pain began to return and has worsened to an intolerable level.Recent MRI shows the same severe, bilateral, multi-level stenosis as pre-surgery. And CT shows “migrating” plates and screw. In fact, screws have migrated right into my spinal canal. I am facing a complex revision surgery that some respected neurosurgeons have refuse to attempt.

Great Doc
What stood out for me besides Dr Harper’s high degree of knowledge and expertise is how affable he is! He made me feel welcome and that we had a lot in common. He seems so comfortable around patients and has a sense of humor as well. I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone needing a back doc
