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.

He really cares
I needed a neck injection - my second on 4 years, both with Dr Corba - for a bulging disc. He expedited me through the process given my pain and most memorable was the care and caution he took on the day to ensure I was settled and as comfortable as possible before starting the procedure. I’ve never had a doctor express so much care for me as an individual. I’m about 4 years late writing this, but thank you, again, Dr Corba!

I went in for a hip injection. Everything was scheduled on line and texted to me. I'm not wild about communicating with my Dr and scheduling that way but it is what it is. Dr. Corba explained to me how the procedure was going to be done and he did it very well with a minimum of pain and I was taken care of very well in the recovery room.

Dr. Cobra immediately knew where I had the pain. He was very prompt in scheduling an MRI and suggesting medication to calm me during the MRI.
