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.

Wish i could put no stars
After many procedures and meds, many times telling him my pain was getting worse and bowel and bladder issues getting worse, we already knew i had disc issue and it was pinching my nerve, but the last straw was when he didnt listen to me, i went to mmc and was rushed into emergency surgery when come to find out we could have tried steroids before it got to the point it did, wouldnt recommend him to my worst enemy

I have been a patient of Dr. Temkin for 10+ yrs. He took the time to get to know me before just diving in and doing all kinds of medication or procedures with me. He continues to take the time to see me no matter how busy the scheduling gets. Never Judge this Dr. Other Drs. go to Dr. Temkin to treat their pain. When first getting to know Dr. Temkin, I was put off by the refusing to try me on something new as so much had failed me. By suffering a little more he realized how he could best help me. He listens to me every time. Our plans for what we do is always subject to change as I am a medical mystery. Just as he must go by what is hurting me most at the time I am their I must too stay flexible with trusting both out gut instincts. I absolutely know this Dr. has my best interest at heart. Thank you Dr. Temkin!

Just had a cervical injection with Dr. Tempkin. This is my second round. Dr Tempkin is my third pain doctor for injections. I like his demeanor, I like his confident style, but mostly I feel like a pt. Not a paycheck! All his staff are plesent and I feel safe and in confident hands under Dr Tempkin AND his staff. They are always attentive and respond to my wishes for how I prefer my procedures.I will return

The worst doctor ever, he has a very arrogant God Complex and horrible bedside manner. Forgets what you talk about between appointments. Talks down to his patients and doesn't believe anyone has real pain issues. This doctor is plain inhumane! Don't see him if you can help it!!!!
