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 cannot speak more highly of Dr Lemma. He is an outstanding physician and a most caring person who makes me completely at ease as he listens and advises. I trust him completely and his help has made my health immeasurably better.

Dr. Lemma was completely prepared with regard to having read and studied all of my clinical notes from other doctors, my own online survey answers to the pain questionnaire and all of the images from my MRI and x-rays. He listened well to me. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly, with visuals from my own MRI images as well as diagrams. He presented my surgical options in a manner I could understand. He made me feel that I had the ultimate say in my own health care. Dr. Lemma was mild-mannered and very caring in his approach with me. I feel very confident in trusting him with my care.

Dr. Lemma was fantastic. Often times doctors don't take the time to sit down, walk through your imaging or test results, and that was not the case with Dr. Lemma. After decades of issues with my back, he provided the explanation, treatment protocol and options that would work for me as well as the risks.
