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.

What a Fantastic Dr.!
I have severe Bilateral Foraminal Narrowing; recently diagnosed. My Rt.leg is much worse. Began with stabbing pain & now numb and then collapses on me & I fall. Esp.on stairs. My Dr referred me for Rt. L-ESI within 2wks I had appt. I see why people rate him with 5 stars. He took time showing on the model prototype exactly what he was going to do, as well as possible complications of injection. He is intelligent, yet caring, with a great bedside manner. It's been over 2wks & as long as I dont overdue-it, zero pain! I highly recommend him with a 5-STARS! Thx!
