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.

I was referred to Dr. Binder for surgery. I found Dr. Binder to be exceptionally knowledgeable and caring. The surgery was successful. I am feeling much better than before I saw him.

Was treated by Dr. Binder for neck and arm pain, I expected to be advised for cervical disc fusion but he recommended total disc replacement. I agreed to the surgery but was skeptical. I researched the Mobi-C and felt I was a good candidate and Dr. Binder was a competent surgeon for the procedure. Due to insurance it took over a month to get surgery scheduled. I had debilitating nerve pain, couldn't drive for more than 30 minutes, headaches and was limited to half days working. Dr. Binder left me with a tiny 1.5" scar, nearly immediate relief of the nerve pain and better range of motion than I've had in years. The 1st week was a bit painful but after 2weeks I was off most pain meds and within 4weeks back to a normal work schedule. In six months there is no pain, great range of motion, no pain meds. Dr. Binder and his staff are professional, caring and easy to work with and managed the insurance approvals and scheduling. There were no surprises, just as Dr. Binder had described

Dr. Binder is one of the BEST doctors we have come across. My husband just had back surgery a couple days ago and Dr. Binder could not have made us feel anymore at ease. His bedside manner was outstanding and he explained the procedure to us in detail so we knew exactly what to expect. Not once did he push for surgery. He gave us all the facts and let us decide. Dr. Binder's office staff is also outstanding. Kathy replied to all my emails and answered all my questions. Thank you!

My life has changed for the better after having a spinal fusion surgery with Dr Binder. I had debilitating back pain with severe nerve pain down my legs. I wasn’t able to walk without crutches during my pregnancy because of the intense pain, the chronic pain continued after the birth of my son. I learned I had spondylothesis/spondylitis. I was unable to find relief with chiro, acup, injections, etc..It’s then I decided to have surgery. It was a success and I am forever grateful to Dr. Binder!

I have the highest regard for Dr. Binder. After my years of suffering and trying alternatives to surgery, Dr. Binder performed my spinal fusion 2 months ago. I am amazed to say I’m stronger every day and virtually pain free. He is the kindest, most compassionate man I’ve ever met. His assistant Kathy is equally kind and patient. I regret not taking this step years earlier. I could not recommend anyone higher than Dr. Binder. He gave me my life back...a far better life!

Dr. Binder would not give me the treatment needed a minimally invasive surgery and would not refer me out to Laser Spine Institute or write a Letter of Denial for surgery leaving me to extreme pain through out my back my left leg going numb and tingling! My stenosis is like knives stabbing my spinal chord and shooting pain down my hip low back and legs. This is human cruelty and if I was a dog I would have better luck getting sympathy or treatment for surgery I need. Not recommend Dr. Binder

Dr. Binder is the best doctor I have ever been to. Not only is he an excellent surgeon but he actually returns your calls if you need to speak with him. If you need a neurosurgeon he's definitely the guy to treat your condition. I'd give him 10 stars if I could.

Probably the most honest and caring surgeon that I have had the pleasure of meeting. Dr Binder evaluated me after devastating injuries suffered in a vehicle accident that resulted in neck and back injuries. He under promised and over delivered in how my results have been achieved in my first operation. I definitely want him to perform my next operation in getting me back to almost full functionality. My wife is so impressed that she wants him to operate on her accident related injury.
