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.

Great experience
Dr. Robert Otterbeck is very attentive to my condition and I would recommend him to anyone else who suffers from pain.

Dr. Otterbeck makes me feel very comfortable. He asks questions and listens to what I have to say and explains everything he is doing. He is very gentle with the injections. He lets me know what to expect before the 2 week follow up.
