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. Pittman is a very warm and caring person. He treated me like no one else was in the hospital. The facet joint injections worked a miracle on my lower back (L4-L5). The results were noticed the next day. I was able to regain my life back with no pain. It has been 2 months now and I am still pain free. Thank you so much for being there for me!
