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. Saer did nothing for me on my workman's comp claim for my back injury. He just sent me back to work full time with restrictions. I am still in the same condition when I started my leave. He referred me to physical therapy. I think I should get at least a couple of weeks physical therapy before being sent back to work and only if it actually improves my condition.

Dr. Saer is a wonderful physician. He performed spinal fushion on me in 2015 & I had immediate relief. I recently visited him with another back issue & I fully trust his expertise. Couldn’t be any more pleased!

Dr Saer is an extremely competent and experienced spine physician/surgeon. When I saw him, he took time and answered my questions. I feel more secure having had his advice. Incidentally, he operated on my elderly mother several years ago, and she had an excellent result.

I saw Dr Saer for a neck and hands issue. The staff was very friendly and professional. Dr Saer took his time and listened to my concerns. He then made a plan to figure out what is going on with me. I would highly recommend Dr Saer and Ortho Arkansas.

Dr. Saer is very kind, caring and knowledgeable. He performed back surgery on both my husband and my mom. I was impressed then as well as now. He will get to the root of your problem.

I’ve been going to Dr Saer since 2000 at 50 years old. Had 3 fusions (now fused T10-L5) due to scoliosis.I’ve been pain free for 7 years and know my limitations. He listens and explains and will be the first to tell you to try other options before surgery, but will do surgery as last resort.

Although I am a new patient with Dr Saer I was more than pleased with my first visit. He was very compassionate, was very patient with me and listened to all my concerns and made me feel very comfortable and not rushed. I have great respect and Trust in Dr Saer. The waiting time in the clinic was very short and the entire experience with his staff and him were wonderful. I am extremely grateful that I was referred to him. He was very thorough in his exam. I am two and a half hours away from his office but it was worth every mile. My waiting time at the clinic was very short and all the staff was very professional. I would definitely recommend Dr Saer. I left his office with a new feeling of Hope and I'm looking forward to my next visit after my MRI to discuss the plan for treatment for my condition. He is very knowledgeable and I absolutely Trust him as my doctor with his decisions.

I had 2 surgeries with Dr. Saer, one in 2011 & another in 2013; both were a success. This Dr. was the 1st to tell me that the chances of me being in a wheelchair for the rest of my life was minimal. After I healed, I have had less pain, but it wasn't without hard work. I take better care of my body, and focus on spinal health as a way of life; many people are surprised I had 2 spinal surgeries. I live in another state now & am willing to go back to Dr. Saer for any of my spinal needs. I also recommend CBD oil, I had to make my own back then, but I did use it before & after my neck surgery in 2013 & it helped me push through the pain to make my muscles stronger. I have a new life now, & when I have pain it is usually because I reverted back to bad habits like poor eating, not doing my yoga, & lifting with the back & not the knees. Surgery or not, once your spine is messed up you better prepare for life changes. Three bone graphs & 2 metal plates, but watch me do a full spinal twist!

I had major back surgery and when I went back for check up, I had to see nurse practioner. That was 3 years ago and I haven’t seen Saer since. I have had constant pain and Dr Saer let me know he did his job and was finished with me, right after surgery.

I had surgery in 1998 at Baptist Health and Dr. Saer performed a spinal fusion at L4/L5. Although the healing process took quite a while I was able to eventually return to the workforce. I am a full time RN. I was 38 when the surgery was done and I am now 59.

I had a lumbar, sacral fusion done. I didnt know he was putting pelvic rods in too. I went in weighing 120 lbs and had a nice flat stomach. After surgery I looked 6 months pregnant. I went back to him and explained it to him and he had the nerve to put his hand on my shoulder and said "maybe you're eating better since you have less pain. I wanted to throat punch him. My left side is deformed now and I had to buy bigger pants because of his surgery. He messed up and won't admit it.

Dr. Saer has performed 2 surgeries on my, one cervical and one lumbar. He is an excellent doctor, showing concern and compassion, while being very knowledgeable and explaining everything in a way that is easy to understand. Be prepared for LONG wait times, but he is worth the wait. His nurse and assistant and both very helpful. Don't be surprised if you see his assistant before you see the Dr, but that is not a bad thing as it gives Dr. Saer more time with patients when they most need it.
