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.

Good visit
Nick was understanding of my concerns and got insurance approval for an MRI. He offered meds to help reduce my pain until there is a treatment plan. Enjoyed speaking to him.

Very knowledgeable
My husband has had a couple appointments with Nick and recently Dr. Bailey performed surgery. Both providers explain things well. Nick is well-educated on his orthopedic facts.

Nick is a kind compassionate health care provider who isn't afraid to think outside the box. He listens to his patients and he goes above and beyond. He compliments Dr Bailey in demeanor and they make a great team. I highly recommend them both.

Follow up after surgery
I was fortunate enough to have Dr Nick check my back after my surgery 10 days ago. He was very thorough and told me I was doing great. Was very polite, friendly and his bedside manner was impeccable. He is a great asset to Dr Bailey's team.

Always helpful
I've seen Nick ever since having a spinal fusion done in 2012. He's always patient, helpful, and explains my options completely. He's equally encouraging and realistic. I really appreciate that he's my PA at UOC. I'd definitely recommend him to others.
