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. Batra knows his stuff.
I have been treating with Dr. Batra for 5 years now. He was refered to me by by previous pain doctor, who left our county. If you have sciatica pain, he is the guy to see to avoid surgery. He listens, diagnoses, and treats what your problem is.

The providers listen to you and think of everything they can to help with your pain. They are very kind. I have been with this with practice for a very long time and would not want to go to any other providers.

Better than nothing but just barely
Unresponsive to changes in pain or new diagnosis that exacerbates symptoms. I’m in pain every day even with his prescriptions. Been on same dosage for ten years. Accounting for tolerance and new diagnosis this doctor has no empathy. I’m suffering under his care.

Doctor Batra and his assistant treat you as a person and not like you are just another payday. They listen to you and treat you with respect. Getting a doctor to actually listen and look at you is rare and most of them dont even look at you when talking to you. Doctor Batra always tries to give me alternate ways to manage my pain and listens to my concerns.
