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.

Dr. Trecha was very nice and caring and he understood what I was going through and he listened to what I had to say.

Dr. Trecha and his staff were able to see me on a very short notice, to assess my pain in a timely matter and to come up with a treatment plan. Dr. Trecha is very pleasant and attentive physician. He took his time to check my symptoms and answered all my questions in regards of treatment plan.

Dr. Trecha is a great surgeon!. I was finally referred to him after an MRI showed Spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis. After other things failed, he told me surgery was most likely my only option, after numbness and tingling had started in my foot. Surgery went great,. If Dr. Trecha has any faults, it would be his lack of a thorough response. By that I mean you need to ask exactly what you want to know. He will answer what you ask, but not elaborate further. Overall, a great doctor.

It took 3 hours waiting time to see Dr. Trecha. My time with him did not exceed 10 minutes total. Though I trust Dr. Trecha's medical treatment of me, the management of patients is disrespectful and changes should be made. Waiting more than 30 minutes is unacceptable. Waiting 3 hours isn't even a good faith attempt at respectful treatment.

All my appointments were prompt with little waiting time. Dr. Trecha always took time to answer all my questions and explain anything I didn't understand. I felt I was in excellent hands and had excellent care. I would recommend Dr. Trecha to anyone who required spinal surgery. I am still in recovery period so I am looking forward to a positive outcome.

Dr. Trecha has been my physician for my back issues for several years. He has explained very well my issues, provided me with options with encouragement to exercise to strengthen muscles, including physical therapy which has helped immensely along with an occasional steroid shot to reduce inflammation. Avoiding any type of surgery is our goal! Dr Trecha has provided me with the tools to help me remain active. He answers my questions, listens and keeps me involved in maintaining my own health
