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 with teenage scoliosis
Our daughter had mild scoliosis at age 12, the pediatrician sent us to Dr. Hresko. He said it did not require intervention. Did not tell us to return every 6 months, did not advise on avoiding sports like rowing (asymmetrical strain) or trampoline, did not discuss how to carry the heavy school backpack etc. By age 15, we were horrified to see that her scoliosis got much worse and her spine was like the letter S :-( Dr. Hresko said it was too late and that she did not need surgery (that's where the doctors and hospitals make the big money). He blamed the pediatrician and school nurse for not monitoring her spine :-/ we were distressed and disheartened, but found a clinic that specializes in Scoliosis (3DC in Woburn, MA). They created a custom brace and taught her personalized Schroth PT exercises, and her condition improved significantly over a year and a half. Surgeons can be arrogant and detached, they don't believe in preventive treatment or PT, parents must seek alternatives.
