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.

This doctor is simply the best. Aside from being a keenly-intelligent, highly experienced, and thoroughly professional neurologist, Dr. Ludema is a genuine, down-to-earth individual who has an excellent "bedside manner" and truly cares about his patients. He's been my neurologist for many years now and he continues to impress me with just how good a doctor he is. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a neurologist.

I have met with Dr. Ludema twice now, and I was motivated to write this review! He is so since, compassionate, takes his time, is patient, and has a sense of humor. I believe him to be quite competent and thorough and I highly recommend him!

Excellent neurologist, very informative, takes extra time for my complicated aneurysm recovery case. Office staff excellent, they go the extra mile with prescriptions, appointments, tests.. I highly recommend this doctor as he came with high regards from top neuro surgeons and he has proven to be a great physician working with me balancing my life after neuro trauma, very intelligent, informative and able to understand my individuality and needs.

I do not recommend this DR. Made a second appointment and wasn't able to make it. The receptionist called me and left a message saying if I didn't call them back to confirm my appointment they would fill my spot. A few weeks later I got a $50 bill from them for a missed appointment. I never called to cancel because her message said she would fill the spot. He now turned it into collections. I've never seen a DR take these actions nor have I ever been charged for not making an appointment.
