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.

Failed to provide adequate care for broken back
I received a broken T9 due to an auto accident. Mimbs failed to tell me it was displaced. He stated I was in a gray zone, surgery or no surgery nothing more. He did not allow me to see my X-ray to make a guess on what to do either. Mimbs also said I wasn’t a candidate for radiology treatment but the ER doctor 6 weeks later said it’s what I need. Mimbs is hold a grudge against me because he thinks I almost hit him with my car in a parking lot going 3 miles an hour. I didn’t almost hit him but he’s entitled enough that the whole sidewalk is his and no one else

Spinal surgery and care.
Dr. Mimi’s did an excellent 4 hour life changing back surgery for me a couple of weeks ago. Recovering well. Jeannette Teasdale PA, provided extremely professional care both in the hospital and post op visit to remove staples. She is going above and beyond in assisting in my recovery. Office staff is also superior. I could not have had better care.

A Specialist You Can Trust
Dr. MIMBS is someone who is personable, kind and professional. I appreciate his straightforwardness and attention to explaining details of my condition to help me better understand it, and procedures to take place, that will help and/or correct it. I TRUST Dr. MIMBS with my care, my life and my recovery process. He has proven he can be trusted throughout the process. I am very grateful for his expertise and resourcing to accomplish a BEST outcome. I have, and will, continue to eagerly - without reserve - recommend him to every one that comes across my path with spinal and/or neurological needs.

Saw Dr. MIMBS march 2021. This doctor was extremely inappropriate with me, calling me doll over and over. Between flirting he was dismissive of the pain ive dealt with daily for 7 years now. I had to show him photos of my foot to backnup my expierience, when i was only there to get his opinion on stenosis. I even showed him a photo of the night before my appointment when my foot was swollen and purple. In my chart he wrote "she went on and on rambling". Yeah mr. Mimbs, thats what happens when someone with ptsd is being harrased by a preditor. I had to tell you the stimulator you were pushing on me is when the crps spread into my lower back.I suggest going back to medical school where you will learn crps has no cure

This is my second attempt to post a review. I hope it works this time. 1) Nearly ten years ago I fell from a ladder and suffered a traumatic head injury. My skull was shattered. My brain was bleeding. I could have died. Dr. Mimbs put me back together. GOOD WORK DR. MIMBS! 2) I was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. I met with Dr. Mimbs at his office this week. He spent about an hour with me. He explained everything. He was clear. He gave me his attention. He answered questions. His manner could not have been better. 3) There is a one star review of him on this website. That one star review does not not at all reflect me experience with him. I give him five stars. I highly recommend him. 4) He did something this week that really made me respect him. He referred me to another neurosurgeon that he thought would be better than him to perform the surgery I need. He said the part of my brain that needs surgery is not a part he really knows. That demonstrated complete integrity.

When we first met Dr. Mimbs it was at Enloe hospital where our son learned he had a brain tumor and Dr.Mimbs performed the biopsy. I wrote a review on that experience. Today was the post-op appointment at Dr. Mimbs private office. Dr. Mimbs patiently explained everything to us, answered questions with out being rushed. Some terms we didn't understand and he went over those topics and made sure we understood before leaving. Thank you Dr. Mimbs
