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 Pigeon was very thorough and the boat was very informative. They took X-rays which Dr Pigeon reviewed with me explaining everything about my condition. Very impressed and would highly recommend.

Grateful I met Dr Pigeon
The most excruciating pain, my first visits required a walker to get to the office. After my surgery I am pain free. Dr Pigeon is a skilled surgeon

I Recommend Dr Pigeon
The Dr gave me a comprehensive exam, and explanation of what my imaging revealed. He took time to explain the various options, and I never felt rushed.

Thank you!
I am so grateful to dr Pigeon and his PA Beth. They have treated me with great respect, and have been very supportive. I can’t be happier than I am now, 7 months after my spine surgery. Dr Pigeon is a very skilled surgeon, and I couldn’t be more pleased to have recovered completely. I highly reccomend him! And a huge THANK YOU from me!

Excellent care and outcome
I just had my 7 months post-surgical follow up visit. I appreciate how thorough Dr. Pigeon is with explaining and reviewing results and important info. I had a great result. Beth, the surgical coordinator was also excellent!

Outstanding Physician
Dr. Pidgeon is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful manner about him. His assistant, Beth was also very kind and competent. However, I almost walked out before my appointment because of the appalling way I was treated by Shannon, at the front desk. Her behavior was unacceptable. She totally does a disservice to an excellent practice. She is the epitome of a mean girl and needs to be coached on how to treat people!

The best
Dr. Pigeon listens to you, examines you and explains possibilities for you. He gave me my life back and I can’t thank him enough. We tried other things but I ended up needing surgery when other options didn’t fix my problem. Everyone in the hospital said I had the best doctor and they would use him too with any back issues. I wouldn’t use anyone else.
