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.

Lumbar Laminectomy
I’ve struggled with low back and leg pain for a few years now. April of 2024 it started getting much worse. Pain clinic referred me to Dr. Dorenkamp after MRI showed severe spinal stenosis and a cyst at L4 L5. In October 2024 at my appointment with him I explained that I have done meds, PT and injections with little relief. He agreed to do a left lumbar laminectomy and remove cyst. The surgery was a complete success! I suffered a dural tear during surgery which was taken care of. He explained everything very well from my visit, through the surgery date and follow ups. Highly recommend him and his entire staff. You are treated with respect from the minute you check in. This doctor is so compassionate. If you’re a chronic pain patient, that means a lot.

Personable. Listens. Informative. Excellent.
My visit was a follow-up to review to an MRI. Dr. Dorenkamp took time to explain, in detail, to me, the results. I had many questions. He is a very good listener. He answered all my questions . He proceeded to offer options as to what's next and how I would like to proceed. The entire visit was excellent. I could not ask for anything more. In summary, this was the kind of a Doctor's visit you would desire from any Doctor. Outstanding.

Dr. Dorenkamp immediately addressed the problem I was having with my L4-L5 section of my back. He set out a strategy to get the pain under control. He gave instructions to the pain clinic to follow up. With his help I feel positive about recovery

Terrible wait time. My appointment was at 10:45; it was 12:35 before I was seen. I usually have to wait way past my appointment time at this practice, but this was a 'new record.'

Dr. Dorenkamp performed surgery to correct bulged discs in my neck. Results have exceeded my expectations. Dr. Dorenkamp is not only an excellent surgeon but is also very kind, caring and compassionate. I would recommend him to anyone.
