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.

Best neurosurgeon!
27 years ago, Dr. Lovell removed a malignant neuroblastoma brain tumor out of my frontal lobe when I was 8 years old. He was a thorough surgeon, and kind, understanding bedside physician. He was incredibly reassuring to my parents, who were beyond anxious. I owe him my life, and am incredibly grateful for his expertise and care.
