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.

Dr Megison saved my life. I had a ruptured brain aneurysm and it was one of the worst case scenarios. His bedside manner is not the greatest but his skills are phenomenal. I am forever in his debt and had it not been for his expert skills I would not be here today. Thank you Dr. Megison. Tammy Laney

He did my back surgery 1993. He bragged about how much worse the disc was than expected and how FAST he did the surgery. It took 20 years to finally get it fixed and out of pain by a Dr In Florida

I have worked in healthcare for over 12 years and I have never encountered a more pompous, rude, and inept physician. He walked into the room during the initial appointment with my mother as if he was irritated to be there. His first words to her as he shook her record at her were, "Why are you even here?!". Apparently, her brain tumor was not big enough for his brilliance. After 3 months of me calling with no response, I transferred her to Vanderbilt. She died two months later. Stay away.

Please choose another physician from this group. This dr will belittle you, be very abrupt and act as though you are wasting his time. From the way he treated my mother, had she not be the strong person she is, he would've made her cry!!!!!! Because of his status as a neurosurgeon, you will be told he is brilliant. Ask the staff, who in this group isn't a brilliant surgeon, the answer they all are. We now have to go Knoxville/Nashville because we stood for our beliefs.
