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.

Repeat patient!
Dr. Dixit is good at what he does. He plans his strategy to correct the issue(s) and gets it done. The first issue that Dr. D tackled was my lumbar spine. Eight months later he worked on my cervical spine. So far so good. Thank you Dr. Dixit!

Great Doctor!
I went to Dr. Dixit for a second opinion on having back surgery. But he mostly kept talking about my neck. I was dumbfounded! I didn’t understand. But the more we talked about my symptoms and everything my neck could affect I began to understand so I decided to have neck surgery. I am so glad I did because some things already feel better (2 weeks out) and I know other things may take a few months. I have never been so glad to be dumbfounded!!

He gave me my life back, he's amazing! He cares.
Dr. Dixit listens, he gives you all the time you need. He explains everything and let's you ask as many questions as you need to. I was on a walker and had several back surgeries before I came to him. He seen exactly what I needed to have quality of life and to FIX what needed to be fixed, and he did just that. He doesn't brush you off, or come into your appointment with one foot out the door like so many do. He sits, he truly listens, he does what needs to be done to find the problem and he is amazing in how he does everything he can to help. If you need a back surgery, go see him before you let anyone else touch you. He's honest and he will tell you 100% the truth about your situation and if he thinks he can help. I recently had surgery and experienced something I had no idea what was happening. He got me in to see him the very next day, knew what was wrong and got me fixed right up. That's what I mean about amazing!

Cervical spinal fusion
Hands down the most professional group I’ve personally ever seen in my life! Just being honest a ton of other hospitals and doctors were just horrible and made me have bad experiences and trust issues. I of course going into to this was skeptical from past experiences. but I was completely at peace, calm and knew I was under good care from Dr Dixit and his team! He preformed 2 huge major back surgeries on my mother and she is a walking miracle! Now he has done surgery on me probably more to come but that’s ok because I’m in recovery now and I firmly believe it was God sent for me to feel the peace and most thorough professional doctors and PAs I’ve ever met in my life! So if you need a great Dr and team please do yourself a favor and get in with Dr Dixit, You will thank yourself later! If I could put 100 stars I would I can’t stress enough how amazing this Dr is! Thank you to Dr Dixit and his team for all they have done for me and my mother, God bless you! I’m highly blessed. GOAT!

Dr Dixit has a great bedside manner. I did not feel like a number. He is very personable and I appreciate that in a physician. He listens to you as a patient. I had mentioned an MRI and he said he normally wouldn’t, but we could and that’s how we found the need for another surgery. I would recommend Dr Dixit to anyone.

Great Surgical Team
Dr. Dixit and his PA’s Garrett and Amanda along with the Nurse Bailey have worked together to repair and help me recover from two separate but similar back injuries. All aspects of my care from beginning consults, through surgery, post operative care, and Physical Therapy have been and are closely monitored ensuring a full and timely recovery while paying close attention to my pain management needs and concerns especially since I want to minimize any use of narcotics to mask pain. I highly recommend without reservation DR. Dixit and his team for all you spinal issues. I am a person who likes a direct, confident, and honest conversation with my surgeons. Dr. Dixit is very direct which could be off putting for some. I assure you he means only the best for his patients.

Do not recommend
10 years ago Dr. Dixit performed a minimally invasive spinal surgery to correct a blown out disc at L5 S1 on the right side. This surgery was not successful and it was supposed to be outpatient however he had to admit me to the hospital and do two more surgeries for a total of three surgeries three days in a row, during this process, he damaged the L5 S1 nerve leaving my right foot paralyzed. After 10 years of foot drop, I had to have an ankle surgery because the structure of my ankle broke down. Now I’m left with complex regional pain syndrome and my life is ruined. This doctor also chastised me for being slightly overweight. Blaming me for my back problems. I had had two successful spinal surgeries before him. He did not tell me that minimally invasive spinal surgery poses an enormous risk of nerve or spinal cord damage due to the restricted field of view. This process I went through with this doctor was a nightmare and 10 yrs later my life is ruined. Finances, career, gone.
