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.

We love Dr. Basta
This weekend marks a 1 year anniversary from my husband's surgery. Dr. Basta did a two level cervical disc replacement surgery. Prior to surgery my husband was in immense pain, he has been recovered now for a year and while he has some muscles in his shoulders that at times get soar, the pain he once experienced from the disintegrating bones and stenosis is gone. We would recommend Dr. Basta to anyone. Another doctor recommended a fusion, so glad we did not do the fusion, the replacement surgery was a complete success.

Complete trust in this doctor
Dr Basta is extremely knowledgeable and explains things in a way that you understand what your options are. I like that he doesn't push surgery, but that he works with you and sees you through your options. He also treats you like a person, really listens and as my problems are very complex, walks you through each step. He also has a great team that never makes you feel like you have too many questions. I recommend him very highly.

Amazing experience!
I had a great experience from the moment Dr. Basta walked in the room. He showed me compassion & listened to my concerns. He put me at ease and I felt confident in his ability. By the time my appointment was over he had me laughing. Not only that, but he’s a highly skilled surgeon. I had a successful surgery & am now pain free with zero complications. I would highly recommend Dr. Basta!

I wish I had found Dr. Basta sooner! His care and treatment of me and my wife was excellent. I had a lot of anxiety out my back surgery due to negative experiences with other surgeons. Dr. Basta and his staff excelled in every way. Lisa was incredible, so kind, reassuring and helpful. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Basta, he is one of the good ones.

I went to Dr Basta for a second opinion. I just met Dr Basta yesterday to discuss back surgery. I was very impressed with him. It was evident that he had reviewed my problems before coming in. He took plenty of time explaining everything. He explained what the operation and expected outcome would be. Also possible complications. I feel very good about having Dr Basta do my surgery.

Dr.Basta spent a lot of time with my husband and me . He gave us a wonderful explanation of everything that was indicated on my MRI and the possible solution and the realities of the results of the surgery that is the solution. This was my 3rd visit in 6 years the other 2 times he told me my problem was not bad enough to do surgery and we did other treatment. As I have aged it continued to worsen and now surgery is necessary. I appreciate the fact he gave me 6 more years before having major surgery.
