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.

Swift review of my neck issue
Dr skubic did not care to do a comprehensive analysis of my neck problems. Never got to see the x rays nor he bother to show me what was wrong with my neck eventhough I had provided MRIS that showed the problem. In short, I never felt welcome.

I saw Dr Skubi in early 2021. I was told I had spinal stenosis but not bad enough for surgery. I was offered steroid shots but since my mom had the same issue & only 2 out of 5 or 6 shots helped her, I said no. He wasn’t very nice or happy about it. I had physical therapy & got some relieve but over time my issues got more & more painful. I had another MRI in mid 2023 &. Went back to Dr Skubic. I was then told I developed adult scoliosis & had 4 bulging discs in a row & my problem was so bad he would not do any surgeries. Spinal stenosis was not mentioned & I was in shock & didnt think to ask if I had that issue too. So guess I’m now headed to pain management. I have to say this time he was caring & nice. I wonder how I could get so bad in just over 2 years! I’m living on lots of pain meds which is not good. Thinking of getting a second opinion.

Dr. Skubic is very knowledgeable about the spine and showed me exactly what needed to be done. The healing process seems to be slow, but that's because I'm a little impatient about the time it takes to heal. Dr. Skubic did a very good job on my back and would recommend him.

Excellent Dr.
Dr Scubic successfully performed spinal surgery on me over 20 years ago. When I recently developed a similar condition I was pleased he is still practicing. I highly recommend him.

Dr. John Skubic MD Rude!
Dr. John Skubic MD was my second opinion Dr. for my injuries of my neck back and shoulder.He was Rude, inconsiderate, Unpatient, and Installing. He did not let me express my concerns, my pains, symptoms or hear my out. He would shut me up and told me that I should stop listening to my other Dr's and myself because nothing has worked for me. To just go climb up a mountain run an to Stop thanking I'm hurt and Sent me on my way and walked away from me! So Disrespectful and inconsiderate!

My appointment went extremely well. I was greeted professionally, my wait for the doctor was minimal. Dr got right down to business and was extremely informative. He gave me options as to what could be done based on my X-rays. I felt he understood everything and made me feel like he was truly concerned with my health. Definitely will use him again.

There is no better spine surgeon than Dr. Skubic, in my opinion. Through the past couple decades he has helped me with the wear and tear working as a medical professional has caused. He is conservative in his recommendations and would never perform a surgery unless indicated.

Dr. Skubic has been my dr for a few years now. He has performed 2 of my back surgeries so I have the utmost trust in him & his skills as a surgeon. When I see him in office I never feel rushed. And when I have test/X-ray results Dr. Skubic goes over the information in detail. Dr. Skubic is an great dr & I wouldn’t want to trust my back to anyone else.

Dr. Skubic took precautions with me before he made a determination. It seems he is lookin for my best interest so that I can continue my work instead of putting me in a worse position than I'm in. He evaluated everything I said and have been feeling.
