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 Kibuule ,
DR Kibuule was very through in his explanation of my upcoming operation. I love his explanation and look forward to the finished product... and also look forward to beating him on the golf course. :)

Highly skilled and knowledgeable
He successfully performed a C5 corpectomy surgery one year ago which completely relieved pain I had suffered for years. I feel that follow up has been excellent and I would recommend him and staff to anyone needing neck surgery.

Patient
I had a May 2022 anterior discectomy and fusion that gave me immediate relief from piercing pain through my neck and shoulder and numbness and pins and needles tingling all the way from my right arm to my right thumb. Dr. Kibuule also did a very good lumbar fusion for me in May 2021. He is a gifted surgeon and very good at presenting diagnosis, prognosis and rehabilitation. And I was so grateful for his patience and concern explaining everything to my wife of 43 years, (and even my son-in-law). He is passionate about his profession and I am almost 68 years old and have had cardiac by-pass and stent surgeries, 2 foot surgeries and more. Dr. Kibuule is the best surgeon I have ever had. .

Initial Consultation for possible neck surgery. After going over the MRI in detail with me it was clear to that I will take his recommendation to have my C4/5, C6/7, C7/8 operated on (fused). He encouraged me to get a second opinion but I'm comfortable with his recommendation. The pictures spoke for themselves. Great personality.
