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.

Skilled and Compassionate
We are so thankful it was Dr. Stackow on duty when our son was in a tragic accident in June, 2020. With the grace of God and Dr Stackow’s skill and expertise, our son’s life was saved. In a sometimes rare combination, Dr. Stackow was not only highly skilled as a doctor, but also a compassionate man and willing to listen and answer our questions. We will forever be grateful to him.

Dr. Stackhow saved my life litterly February 1, 2019. I am so grateful that he was the surgeon on call that day because without his skills I most likely would not be here today. We are so lucky to have such a skilled surgeon in our community and on top of that he is just a great person. His staff has been wonderful to me. I will always be forever grateful to this man who saved my life. Blessings to him and his great staff.

I’ve been dealing with chronic pain due to surgery going on 3 years. I was giving up on the medical community until I was referred to see Doctor Stackow. My life has changed and now I can drive to see my daughter or play with my grandson. My deepest gratitude to Doctor Stackow and the entire staff. My confidence has returned as it should, since I’m a proud father of nurse that referred me to Doctor Stackow. Thank you KT Thank you, Jeff Baran
