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.

He severed my phrenic nerve BEWARE
This guy has a God complex. He sent me to have fluid drawn off my lungs and there was no fluid. He dismissed me from his care upon arriving back at his office and we were perplexed. I found out later he severed my phrenic nerve, and I lost the use of one lung. I never saw him again, but was informed by other doctors he testifies against other doctors and is a very bad person. I wish I had never met him. Please beware.

I went for a review of a MRI that another physician ordered and wanted Dr. Longley to review. Dr. Longley went over everything in detail. Dr. Longley is very professional in a caring manner. I think very highly of him and have complete confidence in him.

Dr. Longley listened to all of my concerns and was very thorough with his questions and examination. He seems confident in his approach to resolve my cervical spine issues. Very down-to-earth and easy to talk to!

After years of back pain I thought we were finally going to get answers. What we left with was 5 steps backwards. My son who is 23 has overcome Bolemia. This is the first time we seen this doc. As soon as my son took his shirt off to show the doc his back, doc grabs his hips and said "WHEN DID YOU PUT ALL THIS WEIGHT ON". My son is 23, 6'5, and weighed in at 212 lbs. Doc went on and on about my son being out of shape and so forth. Finally my son said he was done and we left the appt mid way. Great, my kid has poor posture which we can't deny, but let's focus more on that then the weight he put on ( which was so hard to get back on and get his confidence back up). Now I am so worried about where his state of mind will be with his weight again. I got more out of coming home and googling how to correct bad posture then I got from the doctor! He came highly recommended but he was not for us.

I would never recommend Dr Longley to anyone. He had a rude and mocking attitude to me and didn't help me at all to relieve my pain except lose a large amount of weight in a short amount of time. NO HELP AT ALL.
