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. Tranmar is by far the most amazing physician I have ever had. Not only is his knowledge and skill above the rest ,he has a very calming and compassionate personality. He genuinely cares about his patients and wants the best outcome for them. He is beyond amazing

Every single one of my visits to the office were handled with professionalism and efficiency. My surgery went as planned and I am now pain free. I found Dr Tranmer to be an excellent, caring doctor. I would not hesitate to see him again or recommend him.

He is the most compassionate Dr .that I ever had.I have had at least 10 surgeries with him and they were all successful. And he is the first one to suggest a colleague if he doesn’t perform the type of surgery you need.

Not only was Dr. Tranmer rude and sadistic, he was wrong about my diagnosis! DON"T GO TO HIM!!!! He chuckled when he displayed two foot long metal rods and bolts. "this is what you need now, in a year or so a foot and a half" he chuckled. Thank goodness I got a second opinion. I received a minimally invasive laminectomy.
