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.

We decided neck surgery and set a date for surgery. He explained the MRI pictures, showing me where the nerve was being pinched.

HE'S THE GREATEST
I must say what stood out about my visit today with the good doctor g l o y s t e i n is that he went Way Beyond the Call of Duty with my visit with him I went for my MRI results for my back and not only did he let me know what was going on with the MRI results but he also went Way Beyond the Call of Duty to take a look at my MRI and to let me know that I had other health problems going on which was either a cyst or tumor on my kidney and he was so nice to let me take a picture so that I can show my doctor what's going on with me and as far as I'm concerned he saved my life today and I really appreciate it that he went Way Beyond the Call of Duty because he didn't have to take a look at what he saw because I was only there for a results of my MRI and Dr GLOYSTEIN I really appreciate you God bless you and I appreciate your mom and dad for raising such a wonderful blessed son keep up the good work I would recommend my family and friends to go to Houston Clinic the whole staff is awesome

Best medical experience I’ve ever had
Visited Dr. Gloystein to follow up on a previous surgery. He took his time to go over my x-rays with me and explained what we were looking at. He suggested a CT scan to get a better look at the area. He then called to Hughston Memorial Hospital and requested the scan immediately. The hospital was ready for me when I arrived only 10 minutes later. Great all around experience.

He took the time to explain some complicated functions of my spine and also recommended a course of action to narrow down my issue. He provided me some hope that I could get my walking ability back.
