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.

Outstanding in Patient Care
Dr. Binette is the most emphatic and compassionate physician that I have ever encountered. I have been under his care for about two years. He never gave up on finding out what was wrong with me. Dr. Binette explains every detail so a patient can make an informed decision and totally understands the procedure. He makes you feel like you have someone who truly cares about your quality of life. Dr. Binette's approach puts all his patients at ease and allows the patient to have the highest degree of confidence in his medical expertise.

Amazing!!
Dr. Binette is wonderful! He is very knowledgeable and experienced with spinal problems such as mine. He is thourough, understanding , takes the time to fully research medical hx and do what ever studies he needs to do before giving options of what will give you the best outcome. I 100% put my back in his hands ( so to speak) . Would recommend him to everyone needing treatment for a spinal problem. Also, his staff are wonderful!

Dr. Binette completed a cervical fusion on me in 2011. The fusion healed perfectly and alleviated my neck, shoulder, and arm pain. He again operated on me on 02/05/2018, completing a lumbar fusion L3-L4, and removing/replacing old hardware from a previous fusion L4-S1. Things are healing well, and Dr. Binette did a fantastic job! He not only came to see me every morning while hospitalized, but also followed up with a phone call when I got home to make sure I was doing ok. I highly recommend him!

Dr Binette was personable and nice enough. However he was narrow minded about my particular health issue once he realized I had seen another physician within the same practice (..a doctor who put her hand up and made me stop talking after 30 seconds of trying to explain my pain! ..someone who REFUSED to listen to me). Dr Binette had such regard for her that he eliminated my perspective altogether and went on her report, which was incomplete to say the least. My words fell on deaf ears, twice!
