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. Brockmeyer Was Amazing!
Dr. Brockmeyer literally saved my son's life! My son had to have emergency surgery to correct a defect in his spine (Basilar Invagination) that we did not know he had (He was 15 years old). We had to stay at the Children's Primary Hospital in Salt Lake City for two weeks for two surgeries and Dr. Brockmeyer, his team and the entire hospital staff were amazing. My 16 year old is now fully healed and his spine has been stabilized. Dr. Brockmeyer was excellent in explaining everything every step of the way. Thank you Dr. Brockmeyer!!

Excellent
I was born with Spina Bifida and am now 25. He is the only neurosurgeon I have seen my entire life. 100% wouldn’t be where I am in life without him and his expertise. He is an incredible doctor. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great
Dr. Brockmeyer and his team are the best of the best. He is the only one in the country for complex Occiput and upper neck fusion / stabilization surgery. He has pioneered many of the surgical procedures / approaches. The staff was great all around and his NP Sid who is awesome runs the show... Super great caring team who are just awesome at interacting and helping the kiddos. No egos just genuine caring professionals who do a fantastic job! Very please with everything!

He leaves the impression of being a jerk. Apathetic. Rude. Wouldn’t even look at my child’s imaging. Wish our doctor had sent us somewhere else.

As an expat working at a US Embassy for our country, and living in a third world country I turned to Dr. Brockmeyer when my son was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck. He sat on the MRI for a week, sent a terse, unknowlegable response, and then destroyed the MRI rather than sending on to another doctor. He did not want to give a phone consultation or skype with my son at all. He was uncaring and unprofessional in his service to us.
