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.

Follow up call from Dr. Michael
After having an appointment that started out rocky Dr. Michael called to discuss my appointment with me to make sure that I was comfortable and at ease with our discussion. I very much appreciated the call and clarification of some things that I had questioned. I feel very good about my relationship with Dr. Michael after the phone call and appreciate his service. I feel he is fair and just and doesn't give surgery as a recommendation unless he truly feels he can help. In a day and age that surgeries are plenty I find this trait to be valuable.

Dr Michael was excellent. He took the time to explain everything to me in terms that I could understand, answered all of my questions and even showed multiple pictures to show me exactly what he was telling me. I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Michael is the best. I recently had to have surgery. He was very reassuring and made sure all my questions were answered and I was confident on next steps and what to expect at every step of the way. My surgery seems to be a success and I’m so glad that I worked with Dr. Michael to diagnose, treat, and ultimately have the surgery. I highly recommend him to anyone having neck problems.
