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.

Our hero
Dr. Egnor saved our daughter's life by resecting the entire cancerous tumor in her brain. He is amazing. He also spent nearly an hour with me listening empathetically as I cried upon hearing that my daughter's tumor was likely cancerous. There is no better neurosurgeon or man in my opinion. Level of care was above and beyond.

A Great Doctor
Dr. Egnor did a great job in calming and reassuring my son about something incidental that was seen by another doctor on an MRI. He offered no opinion on anything other than my son’s condition. I do know of many of his opinions because I had seen some of his presentations on youtube, and I agreed with them all. He is a truly eloquent and perspicuous speaker and scholar. Above all, he is a wonderfully kind person and a great doctor.

Absolutely terrible
Could and would not keep his personal views and opinions (regarding things not relevant to reason for visit) out of the visit, despite repeated requests.
