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.

My experience was fantastic. Great bedside manners so no complaints here he did my first one in 2007 had another one done in 2010 where they had to add rods to the plates from the previous surgery. Dr. Hux did with Dr. Wilkinson consulting. Also had my 3rd back surgery in 2012 all three turned out great and all made improvements to my body and health

Dr. Wilkinson performed deep brain stimulation surgery on my husband 12/2013. When my husband woke from the surgery the next day his speech and ability to walk was compromised. I said something is wrong. He is talking like my mother after her stroke. Dr said they did a CT right after the surgery and everything was fine. Symptoms would resolve over time. To make a long story short, 4 months later my husband fell and his his head. A CT a brainbleed from the fall and evidence of an old one.
