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.

Wanted to jump into rehab before getting more tests to show back damage..said nothing wrong with back..then i wanted a ct scan or mri which showed joint damage. He only wanted a regular exray when i knew i had soft tissue damage..he told me my back was fine..final exray showed disc degeneration..bone spurs..and bulging discs..
