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.

Very Happy With Dr. Befera
I needed kyphoplasty on my spine in two places. He and his colleague Dr. Jacob Depolo, were very conscientious and methodical in performing this procedure that took around 3 hours. I was semi-conscious but whenever I indicated I could feel pain, he was ordering pain meds immediately. Afterwards, I felt great, and going from constant pain to very little pain only occasionally, I am very pleased.He has a very kind demeanor. During our consultation, he listened carefully and answered all of my and my family's questions. He showed us on the x-ray where the corrections needed to be made and explained how it would be corrected. Before the procedure began, he talked with me, asked if had questions or concerns, and put my mind at ease. I felt comfortable with him and his staff. I highly recommend him.

Dr Befera has been taking care of me for six months. I had a car accident with chronic back injury. He has brought me through to a place of better healing. It has taken some time but he has been gentle and careful and thoughtful about all of the care he has given me. He communicates very well with his patients and treats you with utmost respect and like he has plenty of time to hear you voice your needs. I highly recommend this doctor. He will be moving to the East Coast soon and whoever reads this on the East Coast I highly recommend him — you will not go wrong by trusting yourself and your health to him.
