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.

First visit was good. He recommended orthotics, gave me a shot and did 2 laser things on my ankle. Second, and last visit, was very bad. He seemed confused as to have a treatment plan and was very short and vague with anything except to recommend me to another Dr. I’d definitely give him a big fat ZERO on a 1 to 10 scale.

i had hammertoe surgery with Dr. Spinner under the guidance and follow up of Dr. Zimmerman. Unfortunately, my hammertoe is worse than before surgery because I believe Dr. Zimmerman took out the pin too early. I do NOT recommend him. Dee
