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.

Caregivers like Dr. Hairston are exceedingly rare! He listened carefully; completed a thorough and unhurried examination, and most of all, demonstrated deep compassion for the pain I was in. He then quickly diagnosed several sources of that pain, and I left his office after that first visit feeling the first pain relief I had known in 6 months. I also left with the assurance that he would continue to work with me until the pain issues were resolved or at least manageable. Less than a month later, I am well on my way to recovery. I can honestly say that Dr. Hairston gave me my life back.

Dr. Hairston is attentive, decisive, ethical and gracious. His diagnostic abilities are excellent. He has walked a long path of healing with me and never once lost view of the goal to increase my quality of daily life. I am able to do activities I thought I'd never do again. I feel blessed to have found him! I would highly recommend him.

I simply LOVE Dr Hairston. I’ve suffered for 43+ yrs with Chronic Lower back Pain. I’ve had 8 surgeries -1st one in 1981 and I’m a disabled Veteran, seen many Drs, there’s non that can compare to him . HE IS MY ‘Miracle Dr’ . He has my trust, respect and he is a delightful human being. I would recommend him ANYONE, his Staff are also to be commended for their professionalism and Care! ??????

As an R.N. myself I can tell you that my experience with Dr. Hairston has been exceptionally positive. He has a upmost professional and ethical approach to his patients. Have been seen by other pain physicians but hi expertise has been above reproach.
