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.

Very nice and professional staff. Exams were totally thorough and professional! Easy to talk to and very understanding.

Completely unethical and I warn anyone who cares about their future to avoid this doctor. He has lied repeatedly in his assessment, does not listen and gives inaccurate diagnoses. If you are an injured worker and care about your future, avoid this one at all cost or you will regret it

My experience with Dr. Brose was a pleasant one. He carefully listens to you and makes sure you are comfortable. He explains everything with detail and ensures that your needs are met. I've been dealing with chronic pain for past two years and if it wasn't for Dr. Brose who recommended a functional rehab program I've probably still be at home in pain. The program was intensive, as it lasted for 7 weeks and I've learned a lot on how to deal with my pain. I've learned that my pain will not be cure

I was unable to work and was terrified about my future. I was in constant pain in my back, shoulder, neck. Several doctors tried multiple things and nothing helped. Then I was referred to Dr Brose. He diagnosed me the first visit. We came up with a plan and I am back to work. I will never be pain free, but thanks to Dr Brose I am able to work and be productive He cares about his patients. He listens to his patients. He helps those that everyone else gives up on.

Dr Brose literally saved my career and possibly my life. I was unable to get out of bed without severe pain from multiple arthritis problems as well as postsurgical complications and deformity. I could hardly walk, much less work. His multidisciplinary approach turned my life around. I have been under his care for over 15 years, and have been productive and successful solely on account of his care. There is no one better in the field, and as a medical professional myself I know many very well.

Dr. Brose Dr Brose is a remarkable doctor. I have been disabled for over 10 years. I have seen numerous doctors, and all of them dictated the treatment plan. Then I met Dr Brose. We discussed different treatment plans and he actually educated me so I could be involved in my treatment and make informed decisions. We made a treatment plan together. He is open, honest and informative. He takes his time and he listens. He gave me quality of life when I thought I was going to be bedridden.

I met Dr. Brose at a time when I had just about given up hope of ever being able to do things with my friends again. I was in great pain and was not getting any help anywhere else. It was through his care, concern and the help of his wonderful staff that I was able to be functional again. I cannot recommend him enough. He's 5 stars in my book.

Completely unethical and lied twice in his report without rhyme or reason but the qme evaluation was recorded and all who listen knows just what a liar he is. I would warn anyone that is serious about their health to stay far away and go to a more ethical doctors as there are plenty out there. this joker is ruled by pride and talks down to both patients and staff
