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.

I've dealt with serious nerve damage in my legs and arms related to spine issues for over 40 years. Over that time I've seen many Drs. / Specialists. Some very good and others not so very good. Dr. Berentsen is one of only a very few Drs. I have recommended to others and continue to do so. I won't recommend anyone for anything unless they have my complete confidence based on personal experience. My Wife sees the Dr. for her own problems and echoes my input. Excellent Dr..
