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. Osborn and his staff were always professional, knowledgeable, and responded to questions and concerns in a timely and efficient manner.

Awesome back surgeon !!!
Dr. Osborn performed a very successful back operation on me 6 years ago so this is who I went to for a different spinal condition recently. Dr. Osborn was awesome at explaining the procedure ahead to time, following up with me and my wife immediately after surgery, and of course performing another very successful operation.

Best in the business
Dr. Osborn looked at several alternative surgeries before we had to finally settle on multiple level Cervical Fusion. I was a little apprehensive because I already had 2 naturally fused joints and we were going to need to do 2 more. Dr. Osborn's hands were obviously guided by God because he did a fantastic job. I have virtually no pain (3 months out), and have far more mobility than I thought I was going to have. I have already recommended Dr. Osborn to my sister, who lives in Utah. I would recommend Dr. Osborn to anyone needing any kind of spine surgery. He really takes the time to completely understand your issues and comes up with the best possible solution. His staff has been fantastic as well.

I am a physician in N.C. I referred patients to Dr. Osborn for back surgery for over 20 years when I practiced in Atlanta. He was the best for difficult problems. I became one of his patients for severe degenerative changes in by lumbar spine 3 months ago. I am now pain free and looking forward to years of a much better quality of life. As a referring physician and as a patient, I can recommend him the one of the best back surgeons in the U.S. He combines outstanding medical judgement with years of experience specializing in one of the most difficult orthopedic surgeries. He gets my highest recommendation as a compassionate doctor and an excellent surgeon.

Dr. Osborn and his PA Dr. Trimble, are both outstanding. I had back surgery in Feb. 2017, performed by Dr. Osborn. He was working for another company at the time however I have no doubt that he is the same. Gave me my life back. I was turned down by other dr’s because of my weight but Dr. Osborn took a chance on me because he knew I was desperate. I have since lost over 100 lbs since then and I give him a lot of credit.

Dr. Osborn has operated on my back twice, and my back pain has been alleviated each time. In my opinion, he is the best. I always recover very quickly, and he has a good staff also. Jeff Tribble, the PA, is very knowledgeable and will help any way he can.

Dr. Osborn is excellent, I have referred 5 others to him over the years since he first treated me in 1990. I am a building contractor and Developer. He's put me back together a few times to allow me to keep my 3 businesses going for my son to continue them after attaining a responsible age to do so. He IS the only surgeon I trust, and trust only those he recommends without further question. He is a conservative practicing physician who doesn't milk you for everything you've got He has answered my phone call at 4:00 AM and then came in early to see me on a couple of occasions on emergency's. He is dedicated beyond belief. Now, in our day of sifting other (salesman) pain doctors so we dont get mixed-up in these doctors salesmanship pitches, I can always rely on Dr. Osborn to be truthful to give me an honest evaluation. He is indeed a trusted and respected surgeon, (Tried, true and tested)

My initial visit with Dr. Osborn was comforting as he's a excellent listener. When I finished talking & explaining he assured me they'll do everything possible to help me & would refer me to another clinic in the bldg if necessary. My total respect & confidence wasn't just what he said but I felt what he said was the result of pure compassion & his ability to truly help me. Dr. Osborn gave me his undivided attention from the moment he came into the room & continued even after surgery. The RN informed me that he always arrive EARLY to check on his patients. I think that's such a caring & merciful person to do so, especially after long hours of surgeries the day before. The morning after my surgery he arrived very early with such a warm smile that I probably would've felt pain free even if I wasn't. I'd refer anyone to Dr. Osborn, for the 1st time in 8years I can say I have no backache. I'm most grateful to him & his very kind & awesome staff. There's no better Team than Jeff & Karen!!

Dr Osborn gave me my life back! He is patient and kind and did an excellent job explaining what I could expect during and after surgery. In fact, during my first consultation with him I was in so much pain I could not fully process what he was telling me. I few days later I called the office with some questions. Dr Osborn returned my call personally that evening and went over everything again. I am extremely grateful for his talent and expertise.

He wrote up an Inaccurate report of our visit. Prescribed an mri and never called to tell me the results until 3 weeks later after I called the office requesting he call back. He was and continues to be Completely unhelpful to me when I am in an excruciatingly painful situation. I would NEVER recommend him to my worst enemy.I felt he was cold, treated me without compassion, made me feel as though he could not care less about how much pain I was in, and I feel he gave me little to exceedingly poor treatment. He had all previous records from my prior doctor and refused to consider continuing treatment in kind. There have to be be better choices out there.
