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 experience
Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. Treatment and instructions were specific to my issue and lifestyle. Dr Khalouf is a vanishing breed of physicians. One who still practices the art of medicine.

The doctor was very personable. He explained the procedure to me so that I would know what to expect. He talked to me during the procedure which really helped keep me at ease. I highly recommend him.

One of the best doctors in the area!
As a nurse I have worked with many doctors. Dr Khalouf stands out as one of the best. As his patient I experienced nothing but kindness, concern, and professionalism.He and his staff explained the procedure every step of the way.I would encourage anyone with any sort of back pain to contact his practice.

Dr. Khalouf is a very knowledgeable and caring physician. I have treated with him in the past and I’m currently undergoing treatment for back problems. He explained the issues involved with my back, as well as the planned course of treatment, in a clear and concise manner. I feel very fortunate and blessed to be in his care.

Fantastic!
Dr Khalouf is the consummate professional, he and the staff get to know you, your issues and develop a treatment plan that gets you back on your feet, living life pain free. I can’t thank he and the staff enough for helping not only myself with ongoing chronic back issues but other family members as well.

Extremely likely.
Dr Khalouf is extremely knowledgeable, caring and explains in detail why and how injections are being performed. He works hand in hand with his staff and makes patients feel at ease. I trust him completely when deciding what is to be accomplished with my pain management health outlook. I appreciate all he has done for me today and in the future. Thank you Dr. Kahlouf.

Highly Overrated Doctor and Staff
I went here about two years ago for a cortisone shot because of a spondylolisthesis problem and things went well. When I started having similar problems in March, I chose to go again. Big mistake! I got another shot that didn't work as well this time. That's fine. It happens. Their response to it, however, was ridiculous. The short version went like this. This was my fourth time there. Suddenly, my weight became an issue. I can lose it myself if I can move, but he didn't like that answer. He was too busy pushing weight loss surgery. I can guess why. He couldn't, or wouldn't, answer my questions about why certain things happened after my last shot. Either he was unknowledgeable or trying to cover for his own mistakes. Some of the problems I had right after the last shot came up. If it was such a problem, why didn't they tell me that when I was there last time? And why schedule another shot?? There's a lot more, but let's just say they were very condescending and arrogant. Never again!

Best out there for back and neck pain
Dr. Khalouf and his staff got me through herniated disc issues in my lower back a few years ago when nothing else worked. He's currently helped me a great deal with my cervical and neck issues. He is the most kind and patient practitioner I've dealt with, straight up and direct every time.
