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. Bederman the Man
Dr Bederman, the best neck and back doctor I’ve ever encountered. He fixed my neck and our next surgery will be my back. After numerous surgeries I’ve had, from other surgeons, finally get the correct surgeon, thank God for Dr. Bederman. His office staff are outstanding. Thank you, Coach Watters

Exceptional Care
Dr. Bederman is an incredibly talented surgeon and diagnostic expert. I traveled a significant distance to see him. He extensively examined my imaging and symptoms. He discussed the options with me in great detail and suggested a surgical plan to address the issues. Years of conservative treatments by other physicians did not help me. I have spent many years working with surgeons developing and expanding their talents with the latest devices and techniques and have been both amazed and horrified by hundreds of spine surgeons, the majority of which should be avoided at all costs.Dr. Bederman knows what he's doing, takes the time to make sure you understand your options, and is pleasant and professional is his demeanor. If you think otherwise then most likely the problem is on your end with unreasonable expectations or attitude.

Best of the best
Dr. Bederman operated on me 6 weeks ago and I am doing so much better then I ever expected. He listened carefully, did X-rays, and an MRI and came back with a surgery plan that has worked out very well after this short time. I would recommend him to anyone who has back issues, scoliosis, or pain. Thank you to him, his PA's, staff, etc. for excellent care and skill.

My pain continues
I went to Dr. Bederman with Low back pain. He was very nice, but after several X-ray and MRI's I came away with nothing. His only recommendation was that I put a lift in my shoe. I went to another doctor who said I definitely need back surgery.

Dr. Bederman is not the usual physician that just once to get the patient quickly out the door to move on to the next one waiting. He spends time with the patient and allows for an open discussion. It turns out that at this time I don't need spinal surgery, but if I ever did I would go to him. I highly recommend him as a caring doctor, sadly a vanishing breed in today's world.
