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.

Fixed my knee in one visit
Called for an appointment for a stiff and sore knee, got in the next day. Had x-rays and a sonogram. X-rays showed knee was fine structurally, sonogram revealed fluid build-up and a cyst. Dr Spain drained the fluid and removed the cyst, next day back to normal. Highly recommend!

Pain Relief
Dr Spain gave me shots in the SI Joint area to provide pain relief and arranged for Physical Therapy. He took the time to listen to my history and made conservative recommendations. Very happy with this approach.
