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.

Kind, honest and caring...
Dr. Fogel was my second opinion. We sat down, he took the time to talk to me and my wife about the procedure, what he would do, how he would do it and why I needed it done (spinal stenosis @ c5). He answered every question without making us feel rushed. His staff was amazing throughout this process as well. The surgery went exactly as planned and honestly (and almost unbelievably to me) within a couple of days I was back to feeling normal. I would WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend Dr. Fogel to any and all.

His persistence with my insurance company to allow me to have this very much needed surgery as I could not walk. It came down to the wire. His staff that operates with him were all extremely helpful and the surgery was done without any complications. I now am able to walk and work out and live my life before my very severe back problems. He was recommended by another surgeon and all the surgeons in his department agreed that he should do the surgery. I got three different consultations and I chose the right doctor.

Excellent! Dr. Fogel was my second opinion. I went to him because the first doctor's lack of interest was unacceptable. Dr. Fogel sat down with me and showed me on the X-ray the cause of my lower back pain. He suggested surgery which was not surprising. However, I was hesitant because I did not if I would recover on time to dance with my son in his wedding. Dr. Fogel scheduled my surgery quickly to give me enough time to recover. Before the surgery, I was unable to stand on my feet for more than 15 minutes. After the surgery, I am able to go on long walks, go shopping. And yes, I recovered fast enough to dance with my son in his wedding. Thank you Dr. Fogel!!
