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.

I have had so many doctors in my lifetime. He is by far the best there will ever be in my opinion. He genuinely cares about his patients and their families, not just in the medical area but personal too. There will never be a doctor that cares as much as he does.

April 29 1979 I was in a plane crash that caused me to have multiple injuries including a compression fracture of 6 vertebrae which caused a lot of spinal cord damage with resultant loss of bodily functions. Dr Gaines did what he could to repair the damage and had to install four Harrington rods to hold my spine in place until it healed. Others told me that I would never walk again. Dr. Gaines always had a positive attitude and I do walk and have little pain from the back injury.
