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.

Very knowledgeable and efficient. Very personable as well. Great experience!

Dr Dacus is one of the best doctors I've ever had. He takes the time to review my MRI himself and found something that the Radiologist didn't. He provided the best care that I have had for this work related injury in the past 5 months. He cares about his patients and explains everything so that I can understand it. Any doctor who takes the time needed with his patients is worth the time that you might need to wait in order to see him. I trust him completely with caring for my injury.

Dr Dacus is a wonderful, caring and concerned doctor. He took the time to review my son's MRI for a work related injury. He found more problems than the Radiologist who wrote the report on this scan. We greatly appreciate the time that he spends examing, reviewing and explaining everything during our visits. I understand that this might cause a longer wait for other patients. We know that any doctor who takes time might have longer wait time. It is well worth the wait to see him.

Dr Dacus got right to the source of my issue, he explained the problem thoroughly in a language I could understand and went through my options. I was very happy with my treatment and was able to get back to my active lifestyle in just a few days. I was also able to get an appointment very quickly.
