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.

Dr. Synder has an excellent bedside manner and a caring attitude that puts patients as ease.

Dr. Synder has put me at ease for my surgery.
I knew that surgery was probably intimate and was very uneasy with it. Dr. Synder was very kind and understanding explaining my situation. I left feeling so much better and comfortable for upcoming surgery. I feel I’m in the best of hands.

Excellent Neurosurgeon
I’ve had 3 lumbar ops by Dr Snyder and all have been very successful in relieving pain and fixing the issues. He went above and beyond in working me in on my last one when I was in excruciating pain. Highly recommend.

25 yrs suffering
After 25 years of severe pain and diminishing quality of life, numerous doctors and chiropractors and a shaman here and there I was finally told by dr Snyder ; on my first visit, that my issues were not so much with my spine but with my sacroiliac joint and that prior injections from other doctors did not specifically target this joint. When I left the office I was thinking “here we go again” ! Well I got my shots and have been relatively pain free , I am so relieved and so thankful, I could have listened to other doctors and had unnecessary surgery. Also doctor Snyder is courteous and informative and the office is great. Thank you doc and Missy.
