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. Pritchard was very personable, took time to discuss my husbands medical issues in a way anyone could understand. He was prompt and was on top of all our concerns and determined to get to the bottom of what we are dealing with to find reason and correct diagnosis. We had MRI set up while driving home from our 1st visit. Wonderful bedside manners and compassion. Thank you Dr. Pritchett!!

He was very kind and courteous. He spent a lot of time with me and explained all of my options and if surgery was chosen what that would involve. He helped me when other Doctors said that they couldn't do anymore. I would highly recommend Dr. Pritchard.

In 2010, Dr. Kenneth G. Saag recommended Dr. Pritchard as the best Neurosurgeon to perform surgery on me after discovering I was walking around with a broken neck. I had told Dr. Saag something was wrong with me because I was looking where I was going (I thought) but I was running into walls. My depth perception was off. While going down steps I would miss several steps and fall. I had been doing this for over 6 months before I said anything. Dr. Prichard saved my life twice Again in May 2014.
