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.

Personally of a slug. Tells you what medicine other doctors can prescribe. Total A- - hole

Dr Haher performed spinal surgery on me when I was young and dumb. I have scoliosis and he performed a spinal fusion on me. He created his own technique and hardware. Well guess what? My fusion did not fuse, my rod is cracked, my screws are coming out of my spine. I hate you Dr Haher!!! You ruined my life, there are days I cant walk because of what you did!!!! Im not the only one he did this to! Parents please DO NOT allow this monster to operate on your kids!!!

Dr Haher took the time to explain what my testing showed and discuss my options. I left my first visit with a better understanding of what was causing my pain and with a plan. Two weeks later, I'm in P.T. , already significantly more comfortable and know what I need to do to manage my back pain going forward. You may not always hear back from the people who don't return because you met their needs the first time. Thank you!

Dr. Haher is a very kind compassionate doctor. He truly understands the pain you are in and does all he can to relief that as soon as possible. He takes the time to listen and also explains everything in a manner that is easy for the patient to understand. I have the utmost faith in Dr. Haher to take care of me and would recommend him to anyone who is suffering from back pain.
