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 King presented my back problem to me clearly, showing me my MRI scan on a monitor screen and pointing out the problems I had and recommened surgery which I consented to (I had a lot of pain). The surgery, including instrumentation seemed to go OK. However, even without heavy lifting, my back crumbled again after six months. Dr. King is a nice man, but somehow I doubt his competence.

I would highly recommend Dr King to anyone needing surgery! He was very professional and personable. He explained options and risks and the surgery was a great success. I could not be happier with the results and I am almost pain free after living with constant pain for a long time.

I had a triple c-spine fusion. He was very thorough and I felt he took the time to explain what he would be doing. I felt very confident prior to my surgery and the success I had was wonderful. I would highly recommend putting yourself in this man's hands. I will not go to another Neurosurgeon if I can help it. I trust him.

I had a laminectomy-multiple levels. when I had a leak at the bottom of my incision, I called the office and was able to see the surgeon early the next morning. this gave me peace of mind. It was diagnosed as a seroma, not a spinal fluid leak.

I can to Dr King because of tingling and numbness in my right foot. He explained my treatment very clearly and precisely. The recommended treatment I will be following is to increase dosage of the prescribed medication. I have been following his recommendation and am seeing a slight improvement, Hopefully this will continue. I would recommend Dr King to anyone needing his type of service. He is an excellent doctor,
