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.

Dr. Gauthier was very helpful. He explained everything in detail. His assistant Christian was very polite and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Gauthier. If my problems continue I will return to see him again.

Dr. Gauthier is very professional with all his procedures. I’ve been going to him for years and I won’t go anywhere else. I’m retired navy and need my injections regularly and the Dr. and his assistant Christian are the best in the business. If you need an epidural or RFA he is the one to go!!! I go in in pain and hurting and leaving feeling good and it just gets better. Christian his assistant is also the go to guy! He is very professional and every time I go he assist Dr. Gauthier in the procedure and imaging. This is without a doubt the place to go. Thanks Dr. and Christian.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Had first epidural six years ago for sciatic pain and was pain-free for 6 years. Pain recently returned and had another epidural with good results. Staff is friendly, professional, no long waits for appointments, Dr. Gauthier is warm and professional and explains every step he is doing along the way. Makes you feel a part of the procedure and is very calming. Can't recommend he or staff enough!!

Dr. Gauthier has been awesome. He has done several injections for me. Very knowledgeable and I love the way he explains things and wants you to be a part of your own healthcare. I love the fact his answer is not to just hand out narcotics. I trust him and know I can count on him anytime even in a pinch. My number one choice of doctor if you need an injection.

Dr. Gauthier and his staff are super friendly. I love that everything in my appointment is consistent. Also when it comes to scheduling an appointment months later you don’t have to wait forever to see them. I personally recommend and talk about how great he is to everyone or anyone!!! This is one doctor you’ll never regret seeing ??

I have been seeing Dr. Gauthier for about 3 years when I need a steroid injection. I have had two double fusions so needless to say, I have chronic back issues. Dr. Gauthier is my number 1 doctor for injections. He is absolutely excellent at what he does and is the only doctor for me who can keep me calm while inserting a needle in between my nerves. He is the BEST!

Dr. Gauthier and his staff are amazing. I feel like they always put my needs first. He explains the procedure to ease any fears I might have. I spent years unable to raise my arm or turn my head. Thanks to his treatment, I am able to turn my head/lift for the first time in years. It's nice to be pain-free for once. I would definitely recommend him to anyone suffering from chronic pain.
