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.

Not very empathic
I had been in the ER several times with severe back pain and had issues I thought could be related to neurological issues...lost of taste, burning skin all over my body. His first concern was why I had not returned for my follow up appt last spring when I saw him for back pain. I told him I did not need to return as that problem had resolved. He seemed offended I had not returned. I explained my present problems. He checked leg strength which was fine, said he had seen my recent xrays which are fine. I asked about an MRI which my primary had recommended. He said that was not needed. My husband asked what could be done about the severe pain episodes. He had nothing to offer; just dismissed us quickly. Later, I read his notes on the visit. He said it was a follow up visit...which is was not. He said I asked him to give me a narcotic. No narcotic was every mentioned by me or by my husband. He is very uncaring, lacking in empathy. I would never darken his door again or recommend him.

I was nervous after reading the reviews. Dr. Paramore was very kind. He is busy so maybe thats why he gets bad reviews? He got me right in for more broken back, did surgery, saw me one week after then 2 wrrks after that. Wait times are very short. They did well with filing paper work for short term disability. I feel great and am now pain free. Highly reccomend.

So pleased!!
I went to see Dr. Paramore in July 2021 after experiencing continued back pain and being dismissed by previous surgeon’s office following removal of a spinal synovial cyst in January 2021. Dr. Paramore removed the regrown cyst and did an L4-L5 spinal fusion in October 2021. I wasn’t sure what to expect going through two back surgeries in ten months. Dr. Paramore was excellent. He is not a man of many words. He tells you the issue and what he thinks will fix it. I am now nine months post op, released from his care with a successful fusion and no cyst regrowth. I am very pleased with his demeanor, his pre and post care and I am extremely happy with his surgical expertise. I highly recommend him.

I owe my life to this man. I had a brain tumor in 2017. Once diagnosed he came in and told me what he needed to do for surgery. I was nervous, he made me calm. His confidence made me feel more comfortable than anything outside of faith. He is a great man, a great doctor / surgeon. I haven’t had any reoccurrence since he operated on me. It doesn’t get any better than this guy. He is an angel in my book it’s now 2021

It was the worst dr visit I have ever been to. This man rushed me out of his office is under 3 minutes. He wouldn’t look at imaging that I brought with me. He only read the report. He was the most unfeeling person I have ever talked with. He obviously had other things on his mind. I would stay away from that disaster.

I went to see Dr. Paramore yesterday for the first time. He did a more thorough exam than Dr. Neubert of Horseheaads ever did! He checked my reflexes and found that the left leg had no reflex. Dr. Neubert never, ever checked my reflexes. Dr. Paramore checked the strength in my hands, arms and legs. Again, Dr. Neubert never did this. Dr. Paramore thinks that there is a further problem and ordered an MRI even though I had one last Summer. I am really thankful I went to see him.

Horrible bed side manners in hospital. Did not properly diagnose back injuries. Never spent more than 5 minutes in hospital room or in exam room at office. Didn't give a damn about patient's concerns. Claims numbness & pains in hips, lower back and legs not affiliated with broken back. Very disrespectful and cocky. Lied on medical report about patient's pain and condition. Failed to inform patient of changes in break and other injuries to back, face and head. Failed to provide pain management..

Dr Paramore is truly a wonderful doctor. Very easy to schedule your appointment with him. His staff is very friendly. Your waiting time to see Dr Paramore is not long as some other neurosurgeon. He is very courteous and listens to your complains you have with your pain.

Excellent Dr., fixed my herniated disc and sciatic pain. Immediate pain relief. He performed such a precise surgery, I did not even have to take pain medication after the operation. If you want long winded explanations and discussion, go see a psychologist. Man of few words but an excellent surgeon as far as I am concerned. Used the McLeod's operating facility and it was excellent as well.
