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.

CAUTION: AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Every appointment felt very rushed. I had surgery for a l5-s1 tear/herniation. I sat in pain for 2 years after before seeking help from another doctor. After mri, it was revealed that the hardware (screws) were put in the wrong direction. I had surgery to correct it, but I now have permanent nerve damage down my leg due to the screws. DO NOT USE THEM!!

This guy is now practicing on the Oregon coast. Don’t waste your time. Didn’t bother to even glance at my injury, appointment took about 2 minutes tops, made me feel like I was wasting his time. Didn’t want to follow up.

This doctor misdiagnosed my finger injury. He gave me the wrong splint, put it on the wrong way and had to Google it. He didn't look at my finger on my other hand to compare the injured finger to the non-injured one, which told a lot about the physiology of the joints in my fingers, and then when I said that the finger didn't feel supported, he told me that I could just wear the splint I had on when I got there. Why go to a "specialist" to be treated like this? He's terrible.
