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.

This was my first visit with Dr Tyndall. I enjoyed meeting him. He was very professional. I was very pleased with his decision to take care of my back as soon as possible and not make me go through numerous test I’ve already had with other doctors. He showed me where my problem was and what he could do to resolve my back pain.

Dr. Tyndall saved my life.
He is the best in his respected field, he saved my life more than 6 years ago. I didn't think I would ever be able to enjoy my family, after the incident. He gave me a second chance at a life.

Not impressed
My wife has been in pain since April of 2022. She has gone through pain management with three previous doctors and none of their pain management routines worked. She heard about Dr Tyndall so she gave him a call. The first visit he asked her to get her prior records and get an MRI and a CT scan. At her next visit after examining her records ands scans he basically said he didn't see anything which could be causing so much pain. On her next visit he didnt even remember her from a week prior. We came to the conclusion that he didnt believe that she was really in so much pain which was also the attitude of her prior doctors. After doing some research we found that doctors who treat patients with chronic pain basically dont believe them and often feel they are addicted to pain meds. She currently isnt on any nor did he prescribe some. She went to him hoping for a solution and left there in tears. He was basically distant and unreceptive to her pain. We would never recommend him to anyone

Fantastic Doctor
Dr. Tyndall is fantastic with an excellent bed side manner. He is very thorough and seems genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of his patients. I made the mistake of originally seeking treatment from Dr. Hyder due to his name consistently appearing in online searches and many positive reviews. But now I’m in worse condition than before and regretting my decision. Hyder wooed me with his nonchalant attitude, but his bravado is also his flaw. Too confident and too full of himself. And now since my surgery, I am finding more terrible stories of people with similar issues. I don’t know if the results would have been different with Tyndall, but I’m confident that he would be more attentive and sympathetic to my condition. I unfortunately cannot change my past decisions, but I hope others will not make my same mistake.

I would most definitely recommend Dr Tyndall
I had lower lumbar back surgery in September . I was very nervous about having surgery, but Dr Tyndall and his staff were very supportive and helpful to my concerns. I’m so happy with the outcome and how much better I’m feeling.

Excellent experience
Dr Tyndall has such a great demeanor. He asks a lot of questions and really listens when I speak. He explains everything thoroughly. I saw him for a lower back problem and he didn't hesitate to send me for an MRI. He has a treatment plan in place for me and I'm confident my issue will be resolved. I highly recommend Dr Tyndall.

I went to Lakeshore in horrible back pain. After seeing Doctor Tyndall and his staff and getting the recommended surgery I am pain free! Not to mention how helpful and friendly everyone was from the beginning. Would defiantly recommend for any one looking for a doctor in this field. Dr Tyndall and his staff are awesome!
