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. Arthur did more for my back problems than any other neurosurgeon.

I was there 2 hours past my appt time. I overheard him in the hall for 40 minutes on his cell phone which he was not having a medical conversation instead of tending to patients. Qhen he fonally came in he was with me maybe 30 sexonds (this was my first ever appt) which i felt because im not a $300,000 surgey case i wasnt worth his time.
