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.

Amazing Neurosurgeon
I had been seeing an orthopedic surgeon. He did a thoracic MRI and immediately referred me to DR. LaRoux. He discovered an intradural arachnoid cyst pressing on my spinal cord. Several other providers had missed it. My walking had gotten worse, and he recommended a laminectomy. I read his notes afterward. His care and planning for me was impactable. He is a bit hard to get to know, but it doesn't take long before he is joking with you. I am probably looking at more surgery, and I will choose him without any reservations.

Saved my life
Dr LeRoux put me back together after a 36 ft fall off a Power pole as a Lineman, I shouldn't be alive let alone walking and functioning normally, my back was broken in 3 places and he did a Outstanding job with me and I am forever grateful for being taken to his surgery table in July of 2014 at Lankenau hospital Wynwood,PA

Dr Leroux did a terrible job on my father’s back surgery. He is in worse shape now than ever before. Screws in fathers back have fallen out. Dr Leroux seems to have injured the nerves. Does not care and will do nothing to help.

After my back surgery I was in worst shape than before the surgery. When I tried to see him again a year later in moved to Texas. Thank God. I went to another dr. who did a second surgery and he was not impressed with the shoddy work DR Leroux did. Six weeks later I feel almost 100%

Very injurious to a family member who Leroux misdiagnosed and caused irreparable brain damage performing microvascular decompression surgery.

Dr. LeRoux spent a long time explaining the procedure and all of the risks. He was very patient answering all of my questions. I have CRPS in my left upper extremity and to have a SCS put in was one of my last results due to it being very invasive. For 5 years I have had constant burning pain in my hand/wrist. I feel as if Dr. LeRoux has given me part of my life back. The pain has subsided quite a bit, and I can use my hand much more than before the SCS. Would recommend him highly!

After having very bad back pain where I could barely walk, I was referred to Dr. Peter LeRoux. After my first visit with him I knew right away that I would not need a second opinion. It was so clear to me when he explained how he could help me and fix my back that I knew he was the right doctor for me. He is so knowledgeable and was very helpful answering any questions my husband & I had. After my surgery almost 8 weeks ago I am pain free. I would refer him to anyone! He is truly the best!

Dr LeRoux has done several surgeries for me (I have a degenerative disease) & they have all turned out well. The procedures have been exactly as described & the results have been as good or better than I have expected.
