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.

Worst Doctor
Doctor brought up discussion of reducing pain medication and became hostile because he couldn’t justify why he needed to. At end of discussion he waived prescription in my face and ask “Do you want this prescription or not?”. No choice but to take script for chronic pain. Last time I went there. Wrote letter explaining situation to NeuroScience Group and no response from anyone.

Everyone has been very kind and Dr. Carl could not be nicer. I’m a new patient and he has been thorough getting to know me and I’ve have had a bit of a set back. Dr. Carl is addressing my new concerns head on and with care and compassion and I am so grateful. This new concern has knocked me for a loop and actually scared me a bit but I’m confident in the care I’m receiving which is half the battle in feeling better. Just thankful Neuroscience and Dr. Carl are taking care of me.
