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.

Doctor Holliday has operated on me 5 times in 11 years and he has the same great staff for the whole 11 years and they are a team and very special. Doctor Holliday is a great communicator and explains everything to you. I have also had 2 mylograms and 4 nerve blocks from dr Holliday. Takes X-rays every visit if needed and shows you them. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my neck and back surgeries. When you are in hospital for a stay he’ll come see you usually twice a day. My neck and back surgeries are a scary time in life and he and his great staff make it as easy as a surgery can be. Thank you

Dr Holliday has done back surgery to repair multiple levels of discs over the years and I have had an improved quality of life with each surgery. He is thorough, professional and very caring of his patients. Would highly recommend him to anyone wanting optimal outcomes from their surgeries.

This is the worse Dr. I have ever experienced in all my life time! I got staff infection after he gave me a spinal cord stimulator! I called him at midnight to tell him I needed to be seen and he made me wait until next day to be seen! When I called He said “you waited till midnight to call me” with a rude and loud voice!! WOW OMG ! I could not believe my ears what I was herring at a time like this I was deathly sick!!! Then whenever I did see him the next day he was raising his voice at me in his office while being so sick I thought I was going to die.. I was on at home antibiotics for 53 days after that!! Please please do not go to this Dr. I wouldn’t want another person to go through what I did with this Dr. When. I Called him that night he acted like I woke him up and he wasn’t about to get out of his bed to see about me!!! WHAT KIND OF DR IS THIS!! OMG I started to report him but.i didn’t I had mercy on him for some reason!!! Just don’t go to him!! Please please!!! Thanks

I went to him for a fusion. Post op I had widespread pain all over my body. I knew something was wrong but he would not talk to me. That was a turning point in my life. I do not recommend him at all for anyone. He was impossible to communicate with. His nurse, now wife, even admitted that he had not been on his best behavior. The entire surgery was life altering and his way of handling it was less than professional at best. I’m sure this will get deleted but I hope he reads this. I also hope I can save someone from going through what I have had to endure.

Dr. Peter Holliday, III is one of the most knowledgeable physicians I've encountered in my near 67 years of life. He's like the Surgeon's Mentor as I'm quite sure other surgeons and neurosurgeons seek to follow in his lead. I do find him friendly but to the point and that's not a bad thing. His staff is more than excellent and find a couple of the other reviews highly surprising. I've trusted him to treat me and he's done a fine job. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Holliday and his wonderful staff are the best! I've had three spine surgeries and never doubted one minute that I was under the best of care. I knew exactly what to expect prior to and post surgeries. I was treated as if I was the most important patient there. Sometimes you do have to wait a bit to be seen, but it is because he and his staff spend as much time as you need to ask questions and explain things until you are comfortable. Exactly what you'd expect when it is your turn to be seen.

After the myelogram, the follow-up visit Dr. Holliday chose to use a model to talk about what needed to be done and didn't even bother to show any results from the myelogram. Wait time for each appointment was exactly TWO hours which is absurd and the third visit was with the N.P.
