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 Jeremy James is the best Neck n Back surgery
Dr James explains everything so I can understand exactly what my problems were n what the surgery for my neck then my back what he was gonna do and the results would help me get put of 20 years of pain. I recommend him highly if you need surgery he's a Specialist in non invasive surgery I have tiny scars u can't see in my neck n small 2 inche scar on my back. Had both done 2016 and have another injury at a different disk location I will Def have Dr James doing my next surgery ive sent several family n friends he's done surgery on them with great results as well as myself. The Best Surgeon n always saw him for all my appointments I was surprised to see any reviews that people said they never saw him. I've had many appointments with Dr James and I always saw Dr James not assistants. Staff is friendly n very helpful as well. Great Surgeon and he will Def get you out of pain with a quick healing period after surgery too. Latrice Orillion Harris

Laminectomy surgery
After reviewing my MRI, Dr James said that I could laminectomy surgery at L4-L5. He said I had a herniated disc and I could either have surgery, injections, or physical therapy. It was up to me. I asked if I had the surgery how soon would I get relief in my legs where the pain was. He said immediately. After 20 years of being in pain, I opted for the surgery and as soon as the surgery was over and I was able to get out of bed, I noticed that the pain was gone. The nurses at Avala were great!

Never met Dr James, but if he is a reflection of his staff then I would beware. Just my opinion. He may be the world's greatest doctor. His staff, I'm not sure.
