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.

My epidural worked
Luckily I didn't need surgery because my epidural steroid injection worked!

Stellar body of work with great bedside skill
I sought a neurosurgeon with a fellowship in Spine surgery from a top tier medical institution. Dr. Kancherla had impressive academic credentials from The Cleveland Clinic and practice credentials in GA. I also wanted a surgeon who utilized newer technologies and minimally invasive techniques and who has completed a large number of these surgeries. Bedside skill is also somewhat important to me. In person, he is exceptionally personable. I feel like I hit the jackpot with Dr. Kancherla. Maybe I can come back in a month to share the results of my treatment.
