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.

Doctor Hopkins gave me the confidence I needed
Doctor Hopkins gave me the confidence I needed to fix a serious spine injury after a car crash. Trusting anyone to touch your spine and your nerves is not an easy decision. I visited with several spine surgeons in Los Angeles, and Doctor Hopkins was the only doctor that took a very conservative and calculated approach. He answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable from the initial consultation and during the entire process. Doctor Hopkins wanted to make sure that surgery would be the answer and the cure for the pain I was suffering. The surgery was a success! After almost 2 years of lower pain caused by a car accident, I am very happy with the results that Doctor Hopkins accomplished and I highly recommend him.

Extremely competent, compassionate, professional doctor. Would never trust anyone else with my spine. Anyone who is aware of the risks involved with spinal surgery knows that only a doctor who has the confidence in his ability and skill can be trusted. Dr. Hopkins exemplifies consummate professionalism in his practice.
