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. Holtzman was extremely thorough in following up on my condition and took a great deal of time explaining the various test results and answering all of my questions.

A patient recommended me to Dr. Holtzman, she was so grateful to him for finding out the cause of her illness. I went to him desperately to find help. I have no words to describe the experience I had with him. He is a complete gentleman. He is more than a great doctor, he is a great listener. Real doctors spend time to look beyond the medical reports to understand the pain and suffering that patients are going through. I am grateful Dr. Holtzman is one of them.

Excellent Surgeon and person too. He’s not just a Dr. or Surgeon. He takes time to talk to you and gives you the real expectations of the outcome. In my case he took time out of his day to speak with me before and after surgery several times. He actually cares about his job and patients. The surgery was very risky, but I had absolutely no complications. I would recommend him to anyone with in need of a risky spinal cord surgery. It’s been a year and I’m getting better and better.

I've been treated by Dr. Holtzman since 2006, and I assure you there is no better, more methodical and sincerely compassionate doctor in his field. He's one of the rare doctors who will give his patients access to him day and night, his skill is undeniable, and I owe him my life today. Thanks Doc!

After several unsuccessful surgeries with other doctors, Dr. Holtzman performed a miraculous operation on my herniated disk, and completely restored my quality of life. I cannot recommend him highly enough! He's patient, he listens, and he treats all of his patients equally no matter where they're from. Thanks for all of your hard work, Doc!

Outstanding surgeon. We'd seen two other doctors for our mother's traumatic brain injury, and Dr. Holtzman was by far the most competent, sensitive, and talented surgeon we saw. We owe our mother's life to Dr. Holtzman. Thank you, Dr. Holtzman!

Racist and cold hearted. Oh and he lies. Be very careful when dealing with this snake. And btW they only post good reviews because I know plenty of people who felt the same about this monster.

the doctor started out being very cordial , but as the visits went into overdrive it turned out that the office policy for authorizations was completely not acceptable(being done only once a week) and as a patient in pain, a total waste of time. The original promise of the hospital was changed two months after seeing the doctor. The final insult was 20 minutes before surgery to be told that he could not do one of the procedures because Medicare would not approve it, leaving the spine vulnerable!

I, for various reasons, had to have multiple back surgeries. He was always caring and available and even if it took until late in the evening, always saw me at the hospital and stayed in his office until the last patient was seen. I highly recommend him.
