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. Sykes is absolutely the best.
I have been seeing Dr. Sykes for at least 5 years now. I would not consider another doctor for my epidurals and pain relief procedures for my back. He explains everything he is doing, step by step. Makes you feel very comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone with pain issues. Very calm and always professional, precise and accurate.

This man is amazing
We are in the process of trying to have the permanent stimulator out in my back. The temporary one helped alot with the pain going from my hip down into my right leg. So we're hoping the permanent one will both sides. I'm sure praying it does. Being in pain every day is no way my way of having a good day. Keep me posted Dr. Sykes. Hope to see you soon

Excellent Experience
I've had neck and back pain for as long as I can remember. Dr. Skyes has helped relieve so much of my lower back pain..I am hoping that he will be able to help me resolve some of the neck pain as well which may also help with my chronic migraines.

Very close to being on time for office visit. Can't say that for some Doctors. Very professional and extremely well educated. Listens to my whining and always responds. Have MRI scheduled and feel certain he will explain in detail what that shows. Staff does good job. Seems as though scheduling for MRI could be faster so one does not worry about WHEN it will be.

Phillip Dodson – Oct 28, 2021

I have developed chronic back and knee problems over many years of being a nurse and farm work. While P.T. helped initially, I have chronic back and knee pain. Dr. Sykes has done ablations on those areas, which has helped tremendously with pain. I enjoy yard work and my animals, cooking, etc. With Dr. Sykes interventions, I am able to do the things I love. Prior to the ablations, pain controlled my life. Mobility was difficult. Dr. Sykes is always professional, but never fails to take the time to smile, be kind and caring. I feel and know that I always receive good care. Dr. Sykes listens to me and addresses any questions or concerns. He works with an excellent staff. I look forward to each day now and am very grateful for such excellent care.
