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.

Amazing surgeon!
I had neck surgery in 2020, and Dr. Peelle did a great job! Him and his staff are always friendly, helpful, and very courteous. And my neck feels great!

Keep Looking - Horrible Dr
I was advised by my Chriprctor to see an Orthopedic dr because my X-rays showed Cervical Neck Arthritis and were in extreme pain. I went to Dr. Peele with the X-rays and he indicated that it looked normal and referred me for an MRI with a follow-up appointment 4 weeks later. He said he doesn't prescribe pain meds so basically, I had to deal with the pain. Thank God a week later my Primary Dr got my X-rays and also noted that Arthritis was clearly there and referred me to a pain management specialist as well as provided a prescription for tramadol while waiting for the appointment. This Dr is a huge waste of time and money... He needs to be Trashed!

Dr. Peelle is an excellent surgeon with amazing bedside manners!!!! I was suffering from a lumbar synovial cyst, that was located in the L4 and L5 region of my spine. He performed a Laminectomy surgical procedure on me, and I am so grateful for him and his hands. He took care of me, and with that being said, I am no longer in pain and has returned back to my normal quality of life. If anyone who's reading this is in need of an outstanding spine surgeon, he is the one, because he is the best.

I was in pain for months barely able to do more than laying on my side. At age 35 this was my second back surgery for a large herniated disc. My nerve was severely pinched off giving me spasms. I really appreciated his manner and willingness to look at all the options. I had a laminectomy to clear out the damage and makes space for the nerves. I am still recovering, but I have my life back and people do not have to live with this type of pain. I fully recommend Dr. Peelle to anyone, especially those who consider surgery the last resort. He sincerely wants you to get better.

For years I had this pain in my back, off and on at first, but became daily. After seeing several doctors, all wanting to either fuse or disk replacement, I was loosing hope. One of my friend's wife mentioned a doctor she worked with. I decided to give it a shot. In the first appt with him, I could see the difference, he cared more than the other had. Dr. Peelle is the only doctor I have seen that actually seemed concerned, and he offered a better procedure. After doing so research, being nervous about back surgery, I went ahead with Peelle. I have no regrets, several months later I feel so much better. Highly recommended doctor for back pain.

Dr. Peelle is the best. He is caring and spends time with me, and he answers all of my questions. I would absolutely recommend him for anybody have neck/cervical issues. I was in excruciating pain for several weeks. Dr. Peelle did my spinal fusion, and the very next morning, I felt 100% better. I am so very happy we did it and so very grateful to Dr. Peele!

Mobi-C Surgery went very well. Everything was explained. All of my questions were answered beforehand. For patients eligible for this type of cervical spine surgery, I would definitely recommend Dr. Peelle. He is an expert in his field and also impressively teaches the procedure to other medical professionals across the US. Great experience. I am back to my normal life with relatively few restrictions if any at just 6 weeks after surgery.
