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.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Atty is an excellent physician. He explained what he was going to do beforehand, and what to expect. This put me at ease, and took the fear away from the procedure.

Dr. Atty is an excellent doctor. He has helped me in many ways and has resolved most of my pain. The downside is that once you have seen him you see his practitioners and they used to be fantastic! Some left and new came and what a joke they are! There is one that is horrible and is snide, conniving and downright rude. One is wonderful but she doesn't see his patients. There is one there that seems alright but I don't know her too well! HIS OFFICE STAFF IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY! THERE ARE FOUR THAT I CAN THINK OF THAT ARE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. THE REST ARE AS DUMB AND INCOMPETENT AS THE ROCKS THAT LAY IN THE BOTTOM OF A LAKE! MAYBE DEVILS LAKE! THEY NEVER RETURN PHONE CALLS WHEN A MESSAGE IS LEFT. IT IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. WHEN YOU CALL TO TALK TO SOMEONE THE PERSON ANSWERING DECIDES IF YOU CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE OR NOT AND THEN ASKS YOU WHAT IT IS CONCERNING. MYOB!! THERE IS MUCH MORE BUT NO SPACE LEFT HERE! I LIKE HIM AS A DOCTOR, AT LEAST WHEN I AM ALLOWED TO!

I see Dr. Atty for excruciating headaches. I have been on numerous medications with a Neurologist for my headaches and have never had much relief over the last 8 years. Dr Atty recommended doing Occipital Nerve Blocks, which have been wonderful. I get relief for approximately 3-4 months and once it wears off my headaches are not nearly as intense or debilitating as they have been in the past. Dr Atty is always attentive, caring and listens to my concerns and issues and provides the best care pla

The first doctor who listened to my problem and treated me with compassion. Made me feel very comfortable with his explanations and very relaxed when he did my spinal injection.

Dr. Atty is great! However, his NP, Linda, is not so wonderful. I was 6 minutes late for my appointment due to an accident on the expressway, and she had me reschedule. I’m not impressed. I can spend two hours to be seen, but 6 minutes of their time is not acceptable? Disgusted!

Dr. Atty and his staff of medical experts and administrative personnel are a professional, gracious and top-of-the-line team. I've had chronic lower back pain for nearly 10 years. This is the first time. First! The pain management plan, regularly scheduled injections and medications have actually MANAGED my pain. Prior to seeing Dr. Atty my experiences with injections were horrific, painful and ineffective. Thanks to Dr. Atty and his outstanding team my unmanageable pain is now manageable.

What happened to having a relationship with patients? Understanding their pain? Your nurses can't explain it better then the patient themselves. Patients shouldn't only meet their doctor when getting an injection. And injections shouldn't be pushed on a patient by a nurse. The doctor should be in the office explaining why that injection is important. And can't answer the last four for the provider if he doesn't come in the office

Dr Atty and Dr Boven have been extremely helpful with my pain management, it's as if I suddenly stepped out of the times of medieval medicine. Their procedures are so much further advanced than I have experienced before and they actually work. I went on my first two mile walk following the injections without experiencing sciatica pain and was able to walk correctly.

Severe spinal pain. Kept waiting for over an hour before being seen. Dr didn't do initial exam in fact had 2 people ask me the same stuff. Dr finally came in at the end for 5 minutes wanting to sell me on a spinal pain device requiring another operation. Never saw him again next visits he didn't bother to even peek his head in. Notice that you can't call and talk to a person. NP put me on something that didn't work left massage and took 3 days to get call back. They talk but don't deliver
