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.

Brain Care.
Dr. Ostergard has monitored for return of a tumor on my Pituitary gland. ChangeI had STRT radiation in 2016 to remove the tumor which had returned from surgery in 2005. He always explains details in terms we can understand & shows us on the computer. Puts the patient at ease and I am very confident in his knowledge.

Back pains
This was my first visit with him as my former neurosurgeon had retired. He took the time to listen to me as to where the pain was coming from and what I was feeling down my leg. As a patient with two former back surgeries, I was concerned. He explained everything in detail and I felt totally confident in his diagnosis.I would highly recommend him to anyone… after all, he was an actuary so you know he is brilliant with an analytical mind!

Initial Review- meningioma
Dr. Ostergard was recommended to us by a friend who is a trauma surgeon after I had been diagnosed with a brain tumor. The initial consult went so well. Dr. Ostergard made us feel very comfortable. He is very personable and easy to talk to. He and his staff went above and beyond to make sure that we knew we could call at any time and ask any questions before surgery.

1200 mile Key West bicycle ride
I was left with numb toes after the 10 day ride and wanted answers after the symptoms continued to linger after a few months; I was so happy to meet with Dr. Ostergard, especially after finding out that he’s a fellow cyclist! An MRI is on order and I have full confidence that I’ll be ready for my next ride to New Orleans next Spring!

Preliminary Visit
Met with Dr. Ostergard to discuss issues and pain with both my neck and lower back. He patiently listened to all my symptoms and concerns and worked with me to come up with the best solution to address the entire issue. I left the consolation with the confidence that Dr. Ostergard had heard what I was telling him and through his experiences he developed the best plan for helping me.

Great doctor
I was sent by the VA for an evaluation. I had the luck of having Dr. Ostergard as my doctor. I was immediately drawn to his pleasant demeanor, kindness and professionalism. He listens and explains everything in detail but also in layman's terms. If you need a fair evaluation and honesty then Dr. Ostergard is the doctor to see.

I was told by two different back surgeons that I would soon need surgery. They were certain. Dr Ostergard patiently explained to me that, in my case, surgery would probably not help. He took the time to explain the mechanics of it all. I appreciate his honesty more than I can say. He also runs the office with the professionalism and compassion we used to expect years ago but is rare today. I have one hundred percent confidence in him.

Dr. Ostergard is a compassionate, knowledgeable and caring surgeon. He has a great personality. During my initial office visit I had a list of questions from my husband and adult children. He took the time to answer each question. Two weeks later when a second surgery was required because of a hematoma, my family and I weren't anxious because he was the surgeon. He's great.

I want to make something very clear, I have 2 rare brain conditions, and after seeing so many people and leaving duke being told the worst news that I could have received, I wanted another opinion and dr ostergard was that opinion, he came in with confidence with cool socks and a great personality, seems very very smart and slightly nerdy, and I loved it, he made my rare conditions seem not so abnormal, and just reassured me with great confidence that I will not be needing surgery and that this is a condition that is bad but not that bad right now, and that it may not even get worse, he understood my anxiety and made me feel like he cared. He talked to me like a fried but a knowledgeable friend, like an approach that Jesus would use, this dude is great, he did not cake what could happen but he approached it in a manner that made life seem not so bad, and really it made my day. I almost cried in his office because he’s just amazing, he really cares and really is knowledgeable.
