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.

After examining me and being hydrocephalic with a shunt that wasn’t working he said he wanted to operate because He felt that I just wasn’t right and thank God he did because my head was full of fluid. He put a ventricular shunt in and that saved my life and literally gave me a life. He is a fantastic Doctor and would recommend him to anyone who needs a neurosurgeon.

Exam room, he asked me to bend over while he held the back belt area, of my pants and gave a quick jerk, somethin snapped. I was then scheduled for surgery, because of a large disc herniation,Dr. said, I could end up paralyzed, If I didn't have a discectomy. After surgery, I had a half dollar, spinal leak. The nurse came in the next day, signed discharge papers, at home, a massive migraine. Called Dr. he said lay flat for 48 hrs.No stop pain, went to ER. no PT either. migraines-monthly.2001.
