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.

Quick to surgery
His idea of needing surgery was too quick without considering other options.

Had a great experience with Dr, Caron. His PA saw me first and explained everything very thoroughly so I did not have many questions for Dr. Caron. My only complaint was that I was told that surgery needed to be done ASAP. Dr. Caron’s schedule was so booked up that I had to wait 2 months to have it scheduled. Otherwise, I had a good experience!

Can't begin to thank Dr. Caron and staff. I've read some reviews where they had to wait 1-1 1/2 hrs to see him and were angry, there's a reason for it. He takes his time with patients and will take his time with you too. He's well worth the wait.......I call him the Energizer Bunny of Neurology....he never stops

I met four doctors to get various opinions on my cervical condition and see who would be the best match for me. After meeting with Dr. Caron I knew he was the guy for me. He was very thorough in explaining my options and he didn't push me to surgery. I eventually did get surgery and I feel 100 percent better. The tingling in my shoulder, arm and hand are gone! So thankful to have met this wonderful man and his awesome staff!

I'm so thankful to have had him do my brain surgery and to have him as my doctor. He came to see me every single day while in the hospital and always made me feel 10 times more positive on the outcome and he did an amazing 7 hour surgery. He is so smart and knowledgeable and not only made me know if I ever needed another surgery he would do his best and be the greatest surgeon. My family loved him as well. Not many times you see a doctor care so much about their patients but HE DOES. AMAZING
