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.

4 years later my back is still in great shape!
I had several degenerated discs in my lower back. I had been treating that with all kinds of therapy and nothing worked. My sciatica pain was at a level 10. Drugs were not the answer. A friend recommended Dr. Matheus at Orlando Health in Orlando. My husband and I went to see him and he and his team told me exactly what the surgery would entail. I committed to the surgery and that was in December 2020. Rehab was not bad at all. I feel great today! He is one of the best back neurosurgeons in our area. I had 3 new discs inserted and 2 rods inserted into my lower back. I am very happy that he is here in Orlando as I know he came from the Cleveland Clinic with excellent training. I have been recommending him to everyone I know that has distinct chronic back pain. Thanks Dr. Matheus for putting me back to normal and this is 4 years later!!

God sent
My husband was in extreme pain after 6 failed back surgeries. We were referred to Dr. Matheus for an consult. He is extremely knowledgeable and agreed to take my husbands case that other surgeons due to the complexity of previous surgeries refused to operate. Dr. Matheus was able to correct his back issue and with the help of a back stimulus implanted at Orlando Health by Dr. Choudry ,he is pain free after 20 years of suffering.
