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.

He did not care about how much pain i was in. He didn't belive i was having severe pain until I had the MRI. That made me lose faith and trust in him. Then I was told I would be mailed information to be set up with a appointment for specialist to have back surgery and they never follow through with that. I fired him.

Those looking for injections a must see other then that if it isn't Cleary broken your ok. First couple visits he was rude. later more sympathy after mri and test, By the sixth visit I started seeing him for a second condition I was going through and he had completely forget about me or didn't recognize me. I literally had to remind him he saw me for something else. There's so much more I'm being generous even given two stars
