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. Lancon is an excellent surgeon! He performed shunt surgery on me to treat my Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus and I am so grateful the Lord led me to him. He treated me with compassion and respect and, prior to surgery, he thoroughly explained the procedure to be performed and told me exactly what to expect. The best proof of his abilities is the fact that my surgery went off without a hitch! When it comes to brain surgery, you definitely want the best and that is why I very highly recommend Dr. John Lancon!

Dr. John Lancon is an extremely skilled neurosurgeon. He is a godly man & between him & the Lord my life was saved when my cranium was filling up with spinal fluid Easter 2014...I had emergency surgery then Dr L placed a shunt. I’m doing great ? I see him once a year & he is the most attentive, compassionate & professional doctor. I recommend him highly.
