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.

My husband had been in sever pain for years. After seeing multiply doctors he was finally was told to see Dr. Wolkowitz. Thanks to Dr. Wolkowitz he has been so much better since he has had the stemulator put in. He was never rushed and the doctor explained everything so that we could both understand. Can't thank him enough.

I had a number of spinal injections in the past. They were rather unpleasant and only provided limited relief. Then I heard about Dr. Wolkowitz. The man is a magician! He has a deft touch and the spinal injections he has done have been far more tolerable, almost comfortable, and the results are simply remarkable. He obviously studied my MRI and ensured the injection was in exactly the right spot. He is great to talk to, and takes his time to explain what's going on. He's GREAT!
