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.

I had surgery on my neck. We love doctor Madsen

Dr Medson performed spinal cord surgery on me over six years ago. He repaired C-3 to C-6. I have never felt better and I am pain free. I believe one must follow the doctor’s orders to the letter...in my case it was walking up to ten miles a day after the first week. I was in excellent health and run half marathons so the walking was no big deal. I met other patients of his who only walked three miles a day. I so appreciate Dr Madsen. My son also saw the dr.

I've had two spinal surgeries with Dr. Madsen. One was a lumbar decompression and another was a two level spinal fusion. He is highly skilled and I'd recommend him to anyone. He took the time to answer my questions and quell my anxiety. I've had excellent results. His office staff is very helpful as well.

Dr Madsen III, has the experience in his field, his exam's are right to the point and what needs to be done. He opens the pathways and the support needed to get the medical help the patient needs. I found him to be friendly and he is a busy doctor and must continue on to meet all his patients. I heard many patients in his office praise Dr. Madisen III for the medical help they received.
