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.

I’ve had six back surgerys from DR Jemenez 2 fusions 2 laminectamies and a stimulator implant and removal. I used to beleive he had my best interst in mind but after my pain stimulator gave me a serious infection I asked Dr Jemenez what I should do next he set me to pain management and I haven’t heard a word from him I guess he traded code of ethics for a code of silence leaveing me scared and unable to provide for my family. So be cautious what he tells you you could get tossed out without a solution

Dr. Jimenez is the Ortho surgeon who did my back surgery. He is a very friendly and concerned surgeon who did a great job on my back surgery.

Had a severe lower back problem with two bad discs. Dr. Jimenez operated and fixed both and I went home the same day. After a 2 week recuperation period, I haven't had any pain or have I taken any medication including Tylenol for my lower back in the last 3 months. I went from being barely able to walk to doing most anything without any pain whatsoever.

He is a jerk when you question him. He had a hissy fit over me wanting a second option and he only thought his option was valid. His response to me asking for a second option was Why are you here then!?!. My personal experience in the past when you ask a doctor for a second option, they are happy to do it. If you think he is wrong, expect him to be a jerk to your face.

Never met a better Doctor. Very compassionate and caring.Took his time and explained everything. I recommended Dr.Jiminez to my sister and a friend. I've needed back surgery for a long time, I could barely walk. Pain got so bad I had an MRI elsewhere that showed my disc was obliterated. Then I found Dr. Jiminez. I was sent that day for all the labs and on the table within a week. After hours calls were immediately returned. I followed Doctor's orders to the letter and was walking.
