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.

Inhumane treatment
He told me, you have nothing, it's just simple to exercise online.. that was 2 and a half years ago.. since then I haven't worked, I live in a bed I see almost no sunlight, I have little mobility in my legs, very terrible pain... I'm dead in life, and by the way this doctor interferes with other doctors treating me, my life is an ordeal.. my legs respond less every day I have no control and interest and, I have a hard time getting dressed, so much laziness can't exist with this doctor..

One of the BEST!!!
Our 19 year old son was diagnosed with a Chiari Malformation at the end of the summer(2023). Over the past year, we have met with Dr. Ishak and his team multiple times, including surgery in December of 2023. We have been extremely impressed with his knowledge, patience, skill, compassion and expertise. We are coming up on a year since the start of this Chiari Malformation journey and we so so thankful and blessed to have Dr. Ishak and his TEAM in our corner. Thank you!!

Dr.Ishak is a wonderful and skilled surgeon. He and his staff are excellent. I've been coping with disabiltating sciatica for over 10yrs. Instant relief the very moment I woke from surgery. I completely understand there's a likely hood of feeling sciatica pain however I also understand it'll not be disabilities as before. Even knowing this, I 100% recommend no less. He's truly honest and skilled. If you Dr Ishak or your team review this, thanks so VERY much!!
