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.

Could not get anyone to just LISTEN.
I started with Novus after a stroke. I saw Dr. Prestley once; all other visits were with his nurse practitioner or physician assistant. They referred me to Sleep Medicine therapy even though I wasn't there for any sleep problems. I was there again recently with symptoms of a spinal leak. I had had a one in August on my Lumbar spine, and it was repaired by surgeons. Symptoms were the same, but I had gone through my GP with sciatic pain and the leak was found during the removal of an arthritic bone spur from my spine, so I though I might have another since I have another arthritic bone spur on my cervical spine. I wanted Novus to do a test that would show another spinal leak (or rule out). I got no help other than they did a brain MRI and had a nurse call me back with the results who said I'd have to wait for further help until my next visit, which is 21 days away. I'm still having the symptoms, high ringing in my head, headache, etc. Nah, I'm done. My GP will handle all else.
