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.

My care in surgery
Dr. Jimenez did a wonderful job preparing me for my neck surgery. He informed my husband and I of the safety from going in from the back instead of the front. Yes the recovery time may be a little bit longer but it would be safer over all.I can not thank him enough for giving me my life back!The movement I have in my neck is phenomenal and I have already referred him to a friend of mine who had back surgery and is doing phenomenal. She can’t believe the pain is gone from her back and down her leg. She is moving around and doing great! If you follow your doctors orders and do what he tells you, I think everything would come out correctly on your surgery. I did exactly as I was told and so is my friend and we have had no problems with her surgery again I would highly recommend Dr. Jimenez. He is a wonderful doctor and has a great bedside manner. Him and his staff did a wonderful job and I highly recommend him!!!

Definitely would recommend him !
Dr. JIMENEZ is a wonderful surgeon. I found him to be very compassionate he always took the time to explain the what's and why's of my surgery. As often choice!!!happens with surgery there was a last minute change that needed to be addressed . This required my needing to have two incisions, one in front and one in back instead of just the one incision I had previously prepared for. It goes without saying that this was a big emotional issue for me. Dr. JIMENEZ was very empathetic and because of the time he spent with me explaining the reasons for this change I felt completely safe as I was being wheeled into surgery. I really can't say enough good things about Dr. JIMENEZ. and his amazing staff. If I ever need another spine surgery he is of course my first choice!

Before having surgery I was unable to preform normal daily tasks and the pain was unbareable. Dr. Jimenez was very professional, qualified, and did his due diligence before preforming the operation. By the next day I felt better then I had for a long time. They were very timely and I would recommend to anyone.

I recently had a very debilitating, serious back injury ! I actually did research into what I may need or if anything could be done! I presented to Mary Schweitzer,, DrHaque. And Dr Jimenez, at the conclusion of our visit they told me what I needed to hear ! And they told me. we are glad. You came in when you did, with in 2 Weeks I am here to have my staples out and a good check up and a Green light, These Caregivers and this facility were hitting my total care from start to finish out of the park and that means everyone! I Thank You Randall Conger R T Sidney Ne

- entire office staff has been wonderful - they are friendly and caring - Dr Jimenez has a calm and quiet presence that helped decrease my anxiety so I could better understand my condition, and the different non invasive treatments to first attempt before surgery . He was patient and did not rush me into anything before I was ready. He listened to me and answered my questions thoroughly. His skill and attention to detail is very evident by how he speaks. He truly cares about his patients and is very passionate about his work. - my care before, during and after surgery has been exceptional.

Dr Jimenez consulted and assisted on my craniotomy and lamenectomy for my Chiari Malformations Type 1. I felt very confident in his abilities, his bedside manner was fantastic and my surgery went very well. I’m healing well and doing remarkably better than before my surgery. I would definitely recommend him to anyone suffering with Chiari.
