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 doctor who took time to try to help.
I saw Dr. Reeder twice and both times he was great. He really took the time to listen and really made me feel heard. Although my issue ended up not being something he deals with, he referred me to a neurologist without hesitation. He made me feel heard and validated with the pain I am dealing with. I highly recommend him.

Dr.Reeder was very thorough. He explained everything at my level so I understood what would be happening prior to and after my procedure. Everything went very smoothly and I was able to go back to work sooner than expected and I feel so much better!!

He did my discectomy, I went back a month later with severe back pain. He prescribed a pain receiver, said it was normal. Went back a year after that my entire right leg, and foot were nunb, he took xrays, and a cat scan, reviewed it with me. The only thing he could say was he didn't screw up. Why am I still experiencing it 5 years Later?

I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation by my 3 neurologists in Sioux Falls SD ad was recommended to see him as he is is a neurosurgeon. During my initial consultation, he told me that I DID NOT have Chiari and that I needed to start yoga. Yeah, yoga. He also wanted me to start taking Cymbalta. I looked through the side effects of this particular drug and the side effects include headaches insomnia dizziness and nausea. These ARE THE MAIN EFFECTS OF CHIARI! Base line Chiari 3mm- Mine is 7mm.
