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.

I was very disappointed with my previous doctors and switched to Dr. Wahl. He seemed to understand that the procedure I am about to undertake is dangerous for me, but he seemed very confident that he could get it done and keep me safe. I appreciate that very much.

Dr Wahl had an excellent understanding of my spinal issues and was well prepared for the visit. He was very knowledgeable. He took time to explain the condition of my spine, displaying a recent MRI on a computer screen.

Dr. Wahl was personable and he listened to what I had to say. My brother had him and so I went to him to get a second opinion, was pleasantly surprised! All the people I came in contact with were very professional and were very helpful. I had never been to Kadelac before and was impressed. I would definitely recommend.
