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.

I have no idea why it has taken me this long to write this review but, here it is. Dr. Hickman is an amazing neurosurgeon. As a single mom in my 30's hearing I had a brain tumor was terrifying but Dr. Hickman never made me feel like things were hopeless. He reassured me every step of the way. It has now been 2.5 years since my surgery and I am doing really well. Thanks to Dr. Hickman, I am eternally grateful!

Dr. Hickman saved my life! I owe it all to him and his team why i am still standing now head up high and be with my very young son. The way he tells the diagnosis doesn't make you feel like scared and the way he explains the procedure does make you feel safe and no doubts at all. I am so blessed that he is my neurosurgeon. A Godsend doctor for me. My 7 year old son is been wanting to say "Thank you Dr. Hickman for healing my Mama's bobo in the head" :) THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR. HICKMAN.

The greatest and most caring neurosurgeon. He is extremely knowledgable and every question that you have about your surgery, he will answer with knowing what exact steps to take in the procedure with his patient. He is always there for his patient as you can reach out for him at anytime. He has great bedside manors. I am very fortunate to have him as my doctor and highly recommend him to anyone. I am still hopeful that one day you will be on the show Good Doctor. Forever grateful, Cristiana C.
