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 Fleming is very rude and short with you. He doesn’t review MRI or X-ray prior to your appt, it’s obvious he doesn’t know or appear to care. He’s also demeaning, do not waste your time with him!!

I would recommend Dr. Fleming to anyone that is facing spinal fusion. He treated me and my family with a great deal of respect and answered all of our questions. My surgery was a huge success and I couldn?t be more please! Yes, there was a great deal of pain after the surgery, but that?s a given with major back surgery. I am now in my 6-month post op and I feel amazing! His caring staff in the office as well as the hospital took every concern I had and put me at ease. Excellent care!!!

Dr. Fleming is an OK Dr. but I'm personally not impressed with the outcome of my surgery. I'm not confident I could refer anyone to him unless the type of problem was like a herniated or bulged disc, I'd probably recommend him then for something like that
