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.

I saw Dr Osborn as a second opinion for lower back pain after having a L5-S1 fusion. He wanted records and a recent MRI before I met with him, so he knew exactly what the problem was when I walked in the office. I’m now recovering from a 3 level cervicle fusion, and no longer have the lower back pain I suffered with for 3 years. Does his bed side manner need work? Absolutely. Is he great at what he does? Without a doubt! I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Well, let me start off by saying. Dr Osborn needs a dose of knowing how to talk and to treat people and not to talk down to anyone who is obviously hurting and scared. It's hard to make dr.s understand that they need to put the God act down and pay attention to what your patients are telling you! Just always remember karma. Treat people with kindness. Try and understand. We are people just like you. You are no better. Wonder what it would be if the tables were turned? Good luck Cleveland.

Seem sweet and professional when I first meet him and that’s exactly why I was so shocked how I was treated after what happened. He did a lower back fusion and put two more rods in and after about 6 months one of the rods broke. Requested to have rods so we could have them tested but one half of the broken rod, disappeared. Long story short he paid my lawyer off and I’ve been left to deal with the pain. Shocked to see he still has his license after all the horror stories I’ve read.

The worst. Completely missed the infection in my husband's neck and left him in terrible pain for weeks until we could get a second opinion. In the meantime, saw my husband again and didn't absolutely nothing for him. When asked about the horrific pain my husband's been in, he replied that everyone lived with some kind of pain.

March 18, 2016 When I met doctor James M. Osborn and his staff I was beyond impressed with my first experience at his office. In only few minutes with him, it was easy to see that he is a dedicated and highly qualified spine surgeon.
