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.

Would not recommend
Poor communication. Jerked us around for 3 months, then referred us to another surgeon without even consulting with us.

Exceptional
Dr. Goel’s an exceptional neurosurgeon. As a surgeon, he is extremely skilled. We relied on him for a potentially problematic neck fusion and experienced not only a reduction in debilitating, long-term pain but a recovery that was shockingly smooth. As a doctor, we appreciated his friendly, calm, and professional personality. His team was terrific from beginning to end, both at his office and at the hospital. Dr. Goel and Aultman Neurosurgery have our highest recommendation.
