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.

He has a terrible bedside manner

It has been 14 years since my surgery. My spinal fluid has still not regenerated enough for me to have surgery to fix what was not done correctly by him. Also, i was given a consent form after sedation to agree to have Residents watch. I was also 6 weeks pregnant during my surgery!!!! He also advised me to have my tubes tied to avoid ending up paralized. Which has never actually happened. I also have a 14" scar for 1 disc.

Seems to give a cursory look and thought at best to everything he reviews for you. Very disengaged and did not seem very interested in my questions and concerns. Considering he referring me to get surgery, I found that to be troubling. I believe it's time for him to retire.

He totally ignores any patient or family input regrding any aspect of care. Talking to him is like talking to a brick wall.
