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.

care philosophy
My goal is to treat my patients as I would my family. Most spinal disorders can be treated nonsurgically, and since the majority of spine surgery is elective, I believe surgery is a last resort. I strive to provide you as much information as possible...read moreOrthopedic Surgery
