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 Ashker saved my health both physically and mentally. After 4 months of excruciating pain and of trying to get through the medical system hoops and red tape in order to get a referral, I was finally fortunate to get an appointment with Dr Ashker. Where all others had misdiagnosed, Dr Ashker knew what I needed to give me back my quality of life. Within two weeks, I had back surgery and was recouping at home PAIN FREE! GREAT NEUROSURGEON!

Couldn't get a word in, when I did finally got to ask a question, I was told my pain isn't real. Now I am not a doctor, and every patient is different , As a human being. Our level's of pain may be high or low levels, but ine things is true. Pain IS REAL. I take it very personal when someone tells me that a spinal hemagimona can't cause pain. It could be 1 mm or taken over the vertebra, bottom line. If it was supposed to be there. God would have given one to all! He wil insult you. He did me!
