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.

It has been excellent.

NO SECOND OPINIONS
I started seeing Dr Surbeck in fall 2019 due to having excruciating all over body pain since 2016 and years back. My last visit with Surbeck in the fall of 2021 was a down fall and devastating said their was nothing else to do but take meds and deal with pain,I begged for a shot anything to relieve the pain I was having even if it lasted a day! I then saw my primary 10/21 he wanted a 2nd opinion due to my pain levels.(I refused pain doctors due to I do not want to be addicted to pain meds) In Feb 2021 I saw a Massay due to me NOT having rheumatoid arthritis their was nothing he could do for me that I needed to return to Dr Surbeck. After scheduling an appt for Aug. 8th, 2022 my appt has been Canceled with Dr Surbeck I will no longer be able to be a patient due to my 2nd opinion! It has not even been a year lapse until Oct. 2022 since my last visit. I think the money is more important than the patient now a days and one more thing Ashley his nurse is very, very rude and hateful!!!!

Dr. Surbeck: Caring, Concerned & Highly Competent
Dr. Surbeck’s knowledge, experience and skill in the complicated field of rheumatology is exceptional. He possesses great judgment and wisdom using tests results and clinical assessment to determine an accurate diagnosis & treatment plan. Until my recent RA diagnosis, I have been medically low maintenance. Therefore, I’m just learning to navigate these medical waters. Dr. Surbeck’s humble & approachable demeanor put me at ease & that makes it easy to ask any question. He is an active listener & responds with reasonable & practical advice. I know not what the future holds but I am grateful to be under the care of such a competent and caring physician!
