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.

Limited spinal knowledge
Years ago I saw Dr. Lagent for back concerns. I had a history of back pain since age 11 and was 32 at the time. My pain was severe and I was having difficulty teaching. He dismissed my pain as a psychological issue since my spouse had substance issues. I now know that I had spina bifida (congenital) and he never diagnosed it correctly. I recommend looking somewhere else if your health is complex.

Comes across like someone who has sold his soul to Insurance companies. Has no regard for the patient, rude and a total disgrace to the medical profession.

I have trusted him gor several injuries, most recently a damaged knee. He recommended not cutting and to use rest and low meds. I was very happy that he wasn't so quick to jump into surgery. Great guy and very freindly.

I have been seeing Dr. Legant since 2003 with different injuries and he has done 3 surgeries on my knees. His bedside manner has always been terrific and he explains things very well. His office has always gotten me in pretty quickly.

I did not see Dr Legant. I just wanted someone to know how horrible I was treated when I called to make an appointment. I believe I spoke with a person names Carol. I would hope that she does not treat everyone as rudely and mean as she treated me.
