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.

One of those special doctors
My experience with Dr. Pfiefer has been beyond my hopeful expectations. This doctor is special not just because of his talent and expertise, it goes beyond his training. He keys in as a listener with eye contact while fully absorbing my description of discomfort. He then sets out a plan focusing on improving the condition. I could not be happier with the results!

Caring, knowledgeable Doctor
Excellent! Very caring and knowledgeable Doctor. Took the time to call me himself a few times to see how I was doing and explain how he was going to proceed in helping me. Just had my injection yesterday and my pain has been relieved by 50% already. Highly recommend Dr. Pfeiffer.

I have seen Dr. Pfeiffer several times. He is a very thorough and thoughtful doctor, caring. He takes time to explain every detail of the procedure. He did spinal shot for me that kept me away from pain for several years. I highly recommend this doctor.

I saw Dr. Pfeifer for nerve pain following back surgery. I was added to his schedule very quickly and although I was very nervous about my appointment, he did a great job of making me feel at ease and explained in detail what he was going to do. After my appointment yesterday, I’m happy to say that already I’m feeling some relief. Thank you Dr. Pfeifer… I would highly recommend your office for pain relief and caring doctors.

I saw Dr Pfeifer and was referred to a spine specialist for my infection. He took the time to call me in the evening and made sure one of his fellow coworkers would see me the next day. A very caring doctor highly recommend.
