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.

FOCUSED
Dr. Ansari was knowledgeable and very clear with his explanation of my issue(s). He heard me. Many doctors don’t. I only wish there were more doctors in every type of practice like him.

Great experience
I went to Dr. ANSARI with lower back and neck pain after an injury on weekend. Xrays were done by 2 wonderful technicians. Dr. Ansari is so calm and explained all issues on my spine and neck. I was very anxious worried it was more serious. He carefully explained what I can do forvtreatment and comfort. He took time and I was not rushed. Thank you fir great experience.

Would highly recommend
Dr. Ansari has been very informative and has without a doubt earned my trust. I’ve been dealing with a back problem for a while and never got really any answers or reasons of what was going on from other doctors, but Dr. Ansari took the time to explain things and have been working with me on making me feel better. I would highly recommend him to anyone as he is definitely earned my trust.

Dr. Ansari is outstanding in every way! Diagnostic
Dr. Ansari brings a multifaceted, positive approach to pain management. From his ability to listen and hear patients’ description and concerns related to pain issues, to his excellent and thoughtful diagnostic approach to get to the clear cause of the problem and not make uassumptions or leap to “Let’s just inject”. In my case, dealing with an extended issue resulting from a vehicle crash, out of a series of doctors, Dr Ansari was the first one who actually was able to listen effectively, and after that, as a result, diagnosed the correct problem and begin me on a course of applicable pain management, including supporting physical therapy to try to resolve the issue correctly and effectively. after almost 2 years of trying to get to some relief and improvement without progress. After I was referred to him for pain management, his thoughtful, skilled and compassionate approach has me on a path where I’ve finally found some reduction in pain ! He’s fantastic!

Highly recommend
I shared the problem I was experiencing and my end goal. Dr. Ansari listened to me. Explained everything super well. And at the end of the appointment he repeated my goal and said let’s get you there. Since my initial appointment Dr. Ansari has helped guide me to find a real solution. I love that he doesn’t jump to conclusions. His positive outlook really stood out to me.
