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 been followed by Dr. Panero for at least five years. As an aging but active adult, Dr. has successfully treated my spine, shoulder and foot pain. He is prudent yet never hesitant to take the appropriate action when my pain is more intense. His office staff is also great; very responsive and compassionate.

Ive been with Dr Panero for several years now and Ive always had great results with him and his care. He consults with me about different options when it comes to what the best way for me to have comfort in my right knee other than getting a knee replacement.
