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. Karandikar has helped myself and my wife by NOT recommending surgery. Instead we were sent for therapy and the recommendation to delay any surgery as long as possible. We are both doing well at 70 yrs. Dr K. did exceptional work for my wife's brother whose back was broken 25 yrs ago and his damaged 40 yrs ago. Steve B. was in severe pain until Dr. K. took a sincere interest in his case. Steve is now able to function well at 68 yrs. and more to come. Bill and Cathy Parker of Cpr. Wy.
