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.

I would never recommend Dr. Scarrow to anyone. He almost killed my mother. He was the surgeon for her broken neck. She continued to be in a tremendous amount of pain and her neck seemed to be moving/unstable. He insisted it had fixed it and did not appreciate our questioning him. Turns out it wasn't fixed and her neck was unstable and moving so that it could have killed her. We had to go to Barnes Hospital in St. Louis to get it fixed properly.

Dr. Scarrow was amazing. My husband had full relief. His PA was also fantastic. My husband had back surgery in April 2017. Meeting with Dr. Scarrow put his worries at ease and instantly had relief as he woke up from surgery. Dr. Scarrow was patient and we never felt rushed at our appointments. Thank you Dr. Scarrow for being the person my husband needed.

Dr Scarrow has the best personality. I was scared from a botched decompression surgery in Columbia. I was afraid of another surgery but i was heading for a wheel chair . I let Dr Scarrow fix my back, took all the old hardware out and replaced it with new. After ten years on disability i am now back to work full time!!!! Thank you Dr Scarrow amd all your staff! You have changed my life!
