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.

Absolutely! Dr. Metz is the best! He is professional but friendly and listens to my concerns and includes me in the process making sure that he answers my questions.

Dr. Metz has given me back my life. For his extraordinary diagnostic skill, care, and kind, manner, I will be eternally grateful. It has been two years since my L3S1 fusion with spinopelvic fixation at UCSF. It is no coincidence that I chose to write this on Thanksgiving Day. Thank you, Dr. Metz.

Dr. Metz is extremely knowledgeable on diseases/pathologies of the spine. He explained my spine degeneration, plan of treatment, and possible progression all while walking through MRI and x-ray results with me. I also found his bedside manner and inter-personal skills to be exceptionally good.

Dr Metz is an incredible person and outstanding surgeon. I could not walk going into surgery, came out of surgery with no pain and within 2 weeks I was walking one mile daily (with a walker). Dr Metz is the best!

He is fantastic! He has true confidence in what he does. He is the first dr. That I have seen (in 28 years) that knows how to address my congenital cervical auto fusion! He can look long term and short term in managing symptoms.
