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.

It has been two year now since, Dr. Osman did a fusion and decompression with a couple spacers on my spine. My back is fused from L1 to L5 with rods and screws. I went from years of terrible pain going down front of left leg to no pain. Couldn't stand for more than 5 minutes without pain. Recovery took several months and I was still improving after a year. Now after 2 years I feel great and can do anything I want at 68 years old. Thank God for Dr. Osman!!

Back in August 2019 I was skeptical of Dr. Osman. Since my cervical fusion, I can move my neck for the first time in YEARS!!! Also, if it was not for Dr. Osman insisting I have a work up on my heart, I would of never known I had a heart attack at 53 y/o plus part of my heart is not pumping correctly. I am seeing a cardiologist and will have a nuclear stress test next week. Thank you Dr. Osman, you may had saved my life. God bless you, Maggie McCathern

In December 2016 after years of battling back problems, I agreed to allow Dr. Said Osman to operate on my back. Though I was aware there was a risk, I never imagined how much my life would be changed following this procedure. I spend a great deal of my time going to different doctors to attempt to resolve the issues that developed following surgery. I am in extreme pain on a daily basis in my foot, which now “dropped” as a result of the surgery. Additionally, I must catheterize myself since I no

Did not do through work check before my surgery of information so went to hospital, was intubated and never had surgery. Had to pay 2K out of pocket to hospital and they keep sending me a bill for him for $40.00 for surgery that never happened. Would not recommend him, seeing Dr. B at Pain and Spine Specialists now, very happy there.

Reassuring to see doctors who still care, listen and perform an assessment by actually touching the patient and making a proper evaluation rather then just typing on a computer the entire visit.

Dr. Osman explained everything in layman terms so I know exactly what is happening. Could not give me a clear diagnosis because of lack of resent films.
