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 is keeping me going
I have a long-term back problem and it limits my ability to do normal activities. His injections are spot on and give me months of minimal impairment. He is compassionate and kind, technically proficient, he listens and presents alternative care options. It is my intention to remain in his care as long as possible. Because I live an hour away, he does my follow up by phone, which is appreciated. His St. Agnes staff was awesome. Scheduling was easy.

He is on time. Always asks how I’m doing in general. He helps so much. He goes out of his way to explain anything I need to understand.

Dr Chettier gave me 2 cortisone shots, one in early March, the second in mid May. Neither shot worked. After the second shot he said they were not given close enough together and I should get 2 more. That would be 4 shots in 4 months! He actually never told me until after the 2nd shot that they should be given within a certain interval. He’s all about the money and doesn’t consider the adverse reaction associated with too many shots in a short period of time. I do not trust this doctor.
