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.

Love coming to see Dr. Ajax
I really enjoy coming to see Dr. Ajax. He is so professional and really knows what he is talking about. He always puts me at ease. I’m so fortunate to have found him when I was first diagnosed with cluster migraines. The pain was so severe I would have to go to the hospital. Dr. Ajax has gotten me on the right medication to keep the pain severity of the attacks manageable. He has also been a huge help with some occipital nerve pain had had begun to experience that was becoming debilitating.

Dr. Ajax has been treating my husband since October 2008 after he had an anoxic pneumonia event that caused a brain injury in May of that year. We trust him completely with our healthcare needs.
