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 Pinto identified my source of intense lower back pain, and had me in surgery within 2 weeks. He and his staff at Paradigm and Sterling Sugery Center are amazing. I only have positive things to say about everyone. They have a unique culture, different than any other large health system. I am sold for life.

I suffered from severe neck pain, migraines, numbness, weakness, balance issues, etc for 6 years after a bad fall. Over that time I was treated by several physicians, multitudes of procedures, meds, pt, and even acdf in 2017. I saw Dr. Pinto in January 2023 and he discovered the issue and I was scheduled for an extensive surgery in February. I’m 3 months post op and I feel so much better! Dr. Pinto is amazing and easy to communicate with. I’m very optimistic for a better future now! Thank you Dr Pinto!

Awww relief!!
I love Dr. Pinto! He spent no less than 30 minutes each time I met with him. He explained in depth to my husband & me the need for my spinal surgery. I was scared & he put me at ease. Highly recommend. Staff is as awesome as he is!!

Dr. Pinto is an amazing doctor and person. He came highly recommended. He did an amazing job on my neck surgery. I would 100% trust him with any needed surgeries. He is more thorough than any Dr. I have ever been to. He explains things in a manner I can understand as well.

I COULD BARELY WALK WITHOUT ASSISTANCE!!! Dr. Pinto highly recommended the microdiscectomy for a herniated disc in my lower back (causing severe inflammation to the sciatic nerve), and went over every detail with me, my family & legal representative. He performed the surgery and immediately afterwards I felt relief from the pain. My recovery is going great & I’m so glad to be virtually pain-free after 6 weeks. His office team @Paradigm Health is great as they always know their patients while showing great empathy & genuine concern every single time. So far, SO GOOD!!!????

Always in a hurry never had time to answer questions. Had laminectomy and decompression surgery. Developed a blood clot in the cord and instead of surgery to remove it as protocol states I was left in a hospital bed for a week on steroids and only his PA-C rounded on me I saw dr pinto again at my follow up. Now I have permanent nerve damage from the clot.

Extremely distraught. I had an MRI in July 2016 and Dr Pinto reviewed the MRI suggesting that I could perhaps get relief from steriod injection and physical therapy follow up. I had the injection one week ago today 9/29/16. The pain during the procedure was bad enough but no relief to be had afterwards. Pain in my neck has intensified and migrated to my arm. I've made several attempts to find Dr. Pinto with minimal results. My phone calls yesterday and today have not been answered.

Horrible experience. Had 6 appointments first 3 with the assistant that stated I needed surgery and set me up to see dr pinto. He ordered more tests to say my back was to messed up and he did not recommend surgery. Feel very let down drove 3 hours each way per visit plus additional drives for tests. The Discogram made me much worse now can barely walk or move. His recommendation was a pain pump. Extremely unprofessional meeting at a physical therpy office. Alwaya late.
