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.

One stop...
Dr. Springer is one of the very best. He listens to his patients. He is very through and explained what the next steps are. Thanks Dr. Stringer.

Fantastic “Bedside”
We are still getting to the bottom of my lower back pain. Dr. Stringer had this wonderful way of explaining things to where I could understand. I cannot wait to start this journey to be pain free. Rhonda is very sweet and informative. I am so glad that I was referred here. From the referral all the way to check in out- I wish I could give 10 stars!

Worth the long bumpy road trip for evaluation.
Appointment with Dr. Stringer resulted in profound gratitude. Purpose was to determine if neck surgery was necessary to reduce pain. The evaluation was thorough considering complexity and time limits; extremely efficient without haste; and above all, interest was taken in some significant features of the 'whole' picture. Staff members were patient, kind and seemed to know their jobs well.Determining that other factors played roles in a perplexing pain condition and that surgery wasn't the solution needed now has helped me stop fighting against the troubles and use my education and training to develop a more comprehensive plan that has already been worthwhile, with logical promise of more improvement along with acceptance of what I can't change.

Dr Stringer did a quad cervical fusion on my husband many years ago. My husband has recently been in a car accident and have had his fusion looked at by many Drs and all are impressed with the work done by him. He saved my husband's life back then. I wish I could take him back to Dr Stringer but we live in Georgia and my husband is going through workmans comp I don't see getting him approved. Just dawned on me to ask workmans comp about Dr Stringer, we have family in Mississippi ??.

I thank God that there is a neurosurgeon like Lynn Stringer in Jackson,MS. My wife, Barbara, went to school at Belhaven with Dr. Stringer. I came to Dr. Stringer suffering from pains in my neck and radiating down the back of both of my legs. After and MRI Dr Stringer said I had ruptured discs that needed immediate surgery due to the pressure being put on my spinal cord by the ruptured disc. The surgery was so successful I needed no post surgery morphine for pain and I resumed teaching at MC.
