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.

Highly recommend Dr Lusk! Was able to secure an appointment with him within a week. He took the time to discuss the current issues, level of pain, mobility/stability levels & ordered tests to be done to determine causes. Thankfully, the pain my husband was experiencing was not coming from the spine so Dr Lusk, referred him to a Rheumatologist & pain management doctor for further examination. He is following his progress with the other doctors. He has a very calm demeanor & wonderful bedside manner. Highly recommend him!!

I had lumbar surgery in December 2017. I now am in more pain than I was before surgery and have to walk with a cane. I should have taken the time to get a second opinion from someone other than a NASA surgeon.

Dr. Lusk was simply great, from the first appointment, through my surgery (L4-5 Coflex Interlamimar Implant) and post-op. He spent all the time I wanted in discussing the alternatives and potential issues. Surgery was entirely successful. I highly recommend him.

I have severe spinal stenosis in my lower back and neck, all my cervical disks are bulging. The pain from old and new injuries is worse than ridiculous. I went to Dr Lusk a year ago and his answer with nasty bedside manner was that I was just obese and needed to go have the gastric sleeve. Wait time in his hard to get office was 2-3 hours. Today new MRI’s show things are getting worse. The ER made me an appt with him without my permission and I cancelled it. Arrogant

Dr. Michael Lusk is a fantastic, professional, compassionate and proficient surgeon. He uses cutting edge technology and gave me fantastic results. Dr. Lusk speaks in plain english that you can understand, answers all questions and clearly cares a lot about his patients. Dr. Luck had to fuse three vertebra and work on two others. I went home in one day, walking around with no problem and minimal pain . I wouldn't go to any other surgeon....

Dr. Lusk, neurosurgeon, was very professional, personable, took time to explain my condition and the surgery giving me options and I was very comfortable and confident with him. The surgery was major and the results complete and successful with relatively little post-op pain. In each follow up appointment Dr. Lusk took time to explain the results and the recovery and rehab process. I was extremely satisfied with Dr. Lusk and his PA, Deby, and I highly recommend him without hesitation. Charles R

Dr. Lusk was my Neurosurgeon after I had a stroke. He took excellent care of me when I had only a 2% chance of survival. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank goodness he was the doctor that saw me when I went to NCH in 2012.
