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.

Dr. Mutchnick was great with my son. My sons shunt had failed and his brain was filled with fluid and he performed surgery on my son. I was very nervous as my son has another neuro surgeon and he had performed 6 other surgeries on him. So having someone new treat your child is a little scary. But Dr. Mutchnick understood that and he knew my sons case. He was very nice and straight forward with me and my husband and treated my son great. I guess it's safe to say I have 2 NS that I trust now.

Dr.Mutchnick is amazing!! My daughter is now 4 and we have seen him numerous times in the last 3 years. Dr Mutchnick is always honest and straightforward about our daughter's condition. If he isn't sure he refers to another NS for a 2nd opinion. He also takes into consideration the thoughts and concerns we have as her parents. Our daughter has had different symptoms for her diagnosis and he trusts our input. He has been nothing less than amazing on this journey. He's hands down the best!
