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.

Dr Pincus saved my little girl’s life! He is wonderful and very smart!

Dr Pincus did surgery on my three month old son in 2007. Our son had sagittal synostosis. Dr Pincus was very loving and compassionate.... When my husband and I were brought into the room to see our son after surgery he was still hooked up to things, crying and as a mother you just want to hold him and comfort him.... The nurse did not want us to hold him. Dr Pincus came in the room and seeing our son crying he immediately said let that Mama hold that baby and he took him first and just rocked him and our son just quieted immediately in Dr Pincus' arms and then he handed him to me..... It was beautiful to have a Dr that truly had compassion.

We love dr. Pincus. Almost 14 years ago we was told that our baby girl had craniosynostosis. Doctors should of found this when she was around 6 months old, but didn't don't it until she was a year and 3 months. It was so bad that we only had a slim chance of her making it. Dr. Pinkus did the surgery and was fantastic. He told us everything to expect and answered all questions. I highly recommended him. Just a fantastic Dr. All the way around.

Dr Pincus came into our lives when we were told that our 15 yr old daughter had a mass on her brain. We arrived at Shands and Dr. Pincus and members of the hospital staff spoke to us about what was found. My daughter had questions that he answered with patience and was very thorough. There were 2 brain surgeries and a final ETV surgery. He followed up with us frequently in the ICU and has great bedside manners. I can’t say enough about him. I’m grateful to GOD and Pincus’s steady hands!

Pincus liked to dodge questions and not answer things that we NEEDED answers to. I was also told with 100% positivity that my brain tumor was gone, when in all reality, 1/3 of the golf ball sized tumor was left behind, causing me to still have seizures for the rest of my life, after waking up half blind.

I am alive and walking some because of GOD first and Dr. Pincus second very close to first place. He preformed a very risky surgery on me almost a year ago. He was very kind and caring before, after and since my surgery. I could not have asked for a better Dr. I would recommend him to any one.
