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. Hellinger helped me when no one else could
I had been in severe pain with 5 lumbar fractures since Sept 2022. According to an Ortho surgeon I was ineligible for surgery due to pre-existing conditions. I was sent to a pain clinic and continued to be in agonizing pain. In February 2022 Dr. Hellinger did 5 kyphoplasty's with conscious sedation and I am well on the way to recovery. He is brilliant and kind with an excellent bedside manner. He walks on water in my books ...he changed my life.

The worst days of our lives! Almost a year, when in apparently easy procedure Hellinger fail, causing a massive bleeding in my husband’s brain, he almost killed him. (My husband was 49 years old now is 50) with any sense of compassion, he came to my daughters and me saying, he is going to die! He is going to die! For our fortune and Hellinger’s too, my husband is alive with a very good recovery, with some permanent physical and mental sequelae but we are working and dealing with have faith, it has been a very difficult time for all of us! Thank God and thanks to Dr. Field and the excellent Adventh Health Hospital staff, my husband is alive now. My only thought now is...it’s time for Dr. Hellinger to look for his retirement. Veronica

On November 24, 2017, I had a stroke as a result of a spontaneous carotid artery dissection. Thankfully Dr. Frank Hellinger was available that day to remove the clot from by brain and place three protective stents into my brain and neck. I have no doubt that Dr. Hellinger saved my life and my brain. In addition, Dr. Hellinger is extremely kind and personable.

Dr. Hellinger is an outstanding doctor. His skilled hands, brilliant mind, and caring heart saved my mother. Our family is forever grateful. Words are not enough to thank Dr. Hellinger, his team and all the medical professionals that cared for our mother at Florida Hospital Orlando.

I am an impatient at Florida Hospital of Orlando, and Dr. Hellinger was consulted on my case. I never met the doctor, and just left a note in my chart. I was waiting to meet and speak with this doctor, but never got that chance.
