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 saw Dr. Neal Haynes for a 2nd opinion. I cannot even imagine using any other Neurosurgeon. He is more like a family Dr. He is the best. I have encouraged others that I have met to see him. I do not know if they saw him or not. As for as I am concerned he is NUMBER 1.. Gods Blessing on him and his family.

My father has Parkinson's disease and wore down his L3 to L7 on his spine. The spinal fluid was pushing away from his body causing him to be numb from neck to feet and especially his hands. Dr. Haynes performed spinal surgery and now my dad has feeling back into his body. I highly recommend Dr Haynes as your Neurosurgeon. He And his staff are friendly and down to earth. They were promt in answering the phones, returning phone calls and answering questions. I highly recommend Dr Haynes

Everyone in the office was helpful and friendly. As a first time patient I expected to spend several minutes waiting, but in fact I spent less than 15 minutes in the waiting room. Dr Haynes was very friendly, and explained my condition very well.

I look forward to my visits. Staff is a breath of fresh air: Friendly, Hospitable, Professional, Efficient, Attentive. No waiting. No drama. Dr. Haynes humbly overwhelms. Other surgeons call him "the best". For the reals. He discovered and diagnosed a serious condition threatening my spinal cord. None of my previous doctors noticed or suspected. In both surgical consultations I was told, in plain English, what will be done, why and the result. He knows what he is doing. You cannot ask for more.

Dr. Haynes is one of the most knowledgeable doctor’s I have ever been to. He is very compassionate and takes his time listening and understanding your needs. I have seen many doctors in the past 8 years to determine the source of my severe pain which still left me undiagnosed. Now under his care he was able to diagnose and provide excellent care I would highly recommend Dr. Haynes. His staff members Linda Frank and others are wonderful assisting him to make sure you are given the best care.
