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.

Excellent doctor and surgeon
Dr Freeman was very personable and showed great interest in listening to give the best outcome possible. He was Johnny on the spot with information. He showed great care to keep family informed. He had someone come update us every 2 hours while in surgery. I would very much recommend him, he knows his stuff.

Needs to listen more
Went to him after waiting months to get in his office as I was referred to him for possible spine surgery, he claimed that since injections did not work that surgery would not work. It made it seem like my pain wasn’t real. I was in rehab for a year and did injections. I’m 24 years old and in constant pain and he just dismissed it, very upset with him. Will be getting a second opinion from a different doctor. He needs to hear from his patients more and needs to understand the pain I was in. My time was wasted on him when another doctor would have helped me more.

Excellent
Dr. Freeman was my brother-in-law's surgeon, he was superb! After surgery he came out to visit with family and we were treated as family. Surgery went well and his recovery is going well too.

I appreciated his thoroughness.
His evaluation and gathering of information, MRIs, nerve conduction, XRays etc was comprehensive. He spent plenty of time with me, answered all my questions, and we agreed on a conservative plan of treatment to begin with. He kindly understood my need to go slow as my husband was in Hosparus.

Saw him when he was a resident and he didn’t have a very good bedside manner. Also thinks he knows more than he does. Hope experience and time will change his approach.
