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 Rawson has worked on 3 of my family members so going to see him about my failed back surgeries was the best decision I ever made, he found damage in my neck the other surgeon didn’t he realigned my neck and shaved bone Spurs to release my nerves and end constant pain and burning I couldn’t understand. He took so much time explaining all of my options and is committed to finding solutions now for my lower back pain due to another surgeons mistakes. He thinks outside the box and always puts caring and comfort for his patients first! 5 plus stars!

I have only seen Dr. Rawson for a consultation, but will likely be having major surgery. So far he seems to be caring and a decent listener. I'm a bit concerned about my recovery but won't know much till I get there.

Dr. Rawson did my back surgery in 2013. He did a wonderful job and I would recommend him to anyone. He is an excellent surgeon and has a great bedside manner....

Dr. Rawson has been truly concerned for my injury and finding the best appropriate treatment plan. His demeanor shows that concern, and he has been willing to do what I need to keep all the issues going in the right direction. He not only explains, but shows what the problems are and how they will be addressed to rectify as much as possible to make my life better after our motorcycle accident. These are not all short-term recovery, and Dr. Rawson seems willing to go the time it will take.

Dr. Rawson is a good Dr. But after care and follow up is horrible. Plan on only getting 10 days of pain meds after surgery. Also trying to contact Dr. Rawson with questions or issues is almost impossible. Office staff are nice but don't return phone calls about 70% of the time. Once you have your surgery you are pretty much on your own.
