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.

Fantastic back surgeon. Changed my life, took away my pain and I was back to work two weeks later. Herniated disk removal worked perfect.

Had a blown disk in my lower back and Dr. Meredith calmly explained the procedure for getting me back to normal. Had the surgery and couldn't be more satisfied with the result. I highly recommend Dr. Meredith for not only his skills but his support both before and after surgery.

I had surgery and Dr. Meredith performed it in June 2018. I had had back pain for fifteen years that affected my life. After the surgery I had little or no pain, recovery was a breeze. It feels like I have a new back! Dr. Meredith answers all questions and was very positive. If you need surgery I would highly recommend Dr. Meredith.

Dr Meredith is almost too good to be true. I've had 9 surgeries and I've never even come close to experiencing a surgeon who encompasses the compassion, empathy, willingness to help, willingness to think outside the box in order to help in anyway he can, and constant after-care, regardless of how long you need it. I would never see another neurosurgeon and would most highly reccommend this unique Doctor to anyone who requires his type of expertise.
