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.

In 1998 at North Kansas City, Saint Lukes Hspital, Dr Alander said it would be a 50% chance of being able to walk again, but I wasn't able to walk without alot of pain. Doing the surgery ment, being able to walk or in wheelchair without no pain, I chose to be positive and gave him a chance to help me walk again and if I came out of this in a wheelchair so be it as long as pain was gone. Dr put a cage in at L5,S1, outcome successfull able to walk, no problems. Now 2018, thank you Dr Alander
