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.

Saved me, and my career.
I feel compelled to tell my story. I was hurt at work in 2005. Out of work for 2 years. Finally was approved for surgery. Dr. Wellman listened in my initial appointment and my spine surgery was scheduled. A total success! Have been in the workforce ever since without the pain. Thank you Dr.

Poor bedside manner. I still followed through with surgery and now I'm worse off then when I started. I'm now seeing a neurosurgeon who knows what he is doing
