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.

Back surgery patient
I highly recommend Dr. Idowu. He is a phenomenal back surgeon with a pleasant demeanor and excellent bedside manner. He explains everything in simplistic terms, is extremely patient, talented, and kind. When I first met Dr. Idowu, I had lost all feeling in both legs and couldn't walk. Thanks to his brilliance and skill, I regained full feeling in both legs! Dr. Idowu's medical assistant, Hannah is amazing too! She too is patient, helpful, positive, and kind. They changed my life! I honestly didn't think I'd ever be able to walk again! Thank you, Dr. Idowu for everything!! You're amazing!
