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.

Worst doctor I’ve ever seen
I’ve never felt angry in a doctor’s office like I did when I saw him. He’s the most crass and disrespectful person I’ve personally met and it was a doctor in a professional setting. He chose to talk about an MRI unrelated to my back problem I was seeing him for. When he finally chose to address the issue he said there was nothing to fix and the doctor I saw years prior was lying to me. He told me my pain couldn’t be to the degree I was describing and that the spinal injections I was receiving weren’t even warranted. I left the office and sat in the parking lot to find another doctor and ended up with an amazing surgeon who was able to fix the issue and was the most caring doctor I’ve ever had. Don’t see DrJho.

Completely uncaring
I have never had my symptoms and feelings so completely disregarded by a medical professional. He spent all of 2 minutes with me, did no exam, did not give any helpful recommendations whatsoever and left me feeling utterly hopeless for any relief. Told me "I just need to find what works for me." Waste of time.

Personality of an engineer, no knowledge of biomechanics, did no exam (only reviewed MRI). Seemed very one condition focused and could provide no alternative approaches to investigate when surgery (in his area of expertise) was not the clear cut solution. Find yourself another good Dr. that understands total back health requires listening to the patient and coordinated treatment including neuro/chiro/PT
