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 Martinez is simply the best. He showed me my xray and MRI and explained what it all meant. Fortunately I didn’t need surgery but if I did he’s the only one I’d let do it. He has done wonders for several friends. His staff is wonderful too.

I've undergone two cervical spine surgeries by Dr. Martinez. The first was in July 2008 and the second in October 2018. I would not want any other neurosurgeon to perform surgery on my spine. He is simply the best.
