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.

Saved my sons life!
Dr Fleming was extremely clear on what needed to be done and did an amazing job with my son. We are eternally grateful for his expertise! Every interaction with his office for any type of follow up has been fantastic!

Dr. Fleming rejected the possibility of removing our son's arachnoid cyst despite the fact that our son has seizures originating from the area of the cyst, language difficulties, and occasional headaches, nausea, and vomiting. He came into the visit with his mind made up because he often gets referrals from neurologists for the removal of these and does not feel that most of them are a problem.

I had emergency back surgery by Dr. Fleming, his professionalism and genuine bedside manner was awesome. In a very scary situation he fave me peace of mind that I was receiving the quality care I needed. The entire Riverside Neuroscience Center were far better than my initial expectations. My surgical site is no larger than 1 inch, I am very thankful I was put in his care.

Dr Fleming saw my mother in the Riverside Methodist emergency room. She was in grave danger and needed an emergency surgery to stop a blood bleed and to remove a blood clot. She is doing great and healing wonderful. Dr Fleming's bedside manner is impeccable.

Dr. Fleming preformed my much needed back surgery. The surgery went great and I have been pain free since! His staff was excellent in helping me with any needs, questions, or concerns! I would definitely use him in the future if another back surgery is ever needed.
