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.

She is an excellent surgeon in our opinion
She took away all of the pain in my husbands legs after doing the surgery that no other doctor would do and was very accommodating for me as well. She went out of her way for me to be with him at the hospital because we were from out of town. I would recommend her to anyone. She is A plus in my book

Excellent Surgeon
Definitely an expert surgeon, but CARING. It's not just all clinical and that comes through. I had initially chosen one surgeon, but due to insurance problems, my case was turned over to his colleague, Dr. Fouke, and I just had to cross my fingers. Let me tell you, I have not been disappointed at all. She has FAR exceeded my expectations.

I had back surgery by Dr. Fouke. She is an amazing physician and an amazing person. She listens to you. She gives you the facts. She is straight forward and informs you of everything. I am now recovering and am 95% better than I was before surgery. Once she releases you, she tells you that you are her patient forever and to call if I need anything in the future. I recommend Dr. Fouke to everyone!!!

Great Surgeon
Dr Fouke was outstanding. She listened to and addressed all my concerns. After running all her tests, she concurred with the first opinion I had received. I did decide to have spinal surgery and it was very successful! Her assistant was also very helpful and efficient! I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Fouke.

I love Dr. Fouke and her assistant Cheryl. I had surgery on my neck 3 months ago due to arthritis and bone spurs. The pain I had been dealing with was excruciating. Dr. Fouke knew exactly what to do and I feel great?no pain. Thank you so much!

Spinal Fusion
Dr. Fouke is a careful listener who responds to your questions and concerns with empathy and kindness. She thoroughly understands what she is doing and explains it to her patients in “English”. She shares x-rays, and MRR results. pointing out problems and healing. Whenever possible, she leads the patient to make their own decisions- about if and when they need surgery and down the road, when to return to the patient’s normal routine and eventually to discharge, even if it is 4 months earlier than the routine. I would Highly recommend Dr. Fouke and if anything happens in the future I would not hesitate to have Dr. Fouke as my surgeon.

Went to her for second opinion
cervical condition causing me to miss work rather often do to debilitating pain! 1st Dr I went to see decided “not bad enough on MRI to justify surgery”and sent me back to work and physical therapy. Within 2 months I was at ER due to it becoming even worse! Of course I was upset with 1st dr, I found and scheduled with Dr Fouke for second opinion She came to the same conclusion as 1st Dr but she also won me as her patient if it comes to surgery in the future because of the time and concern I felt she had for me!

Incompetence everywhere. Dismissive, pays no attention to details, unethical, ambiguous, neglectful, etc. The list goes on and on so I will leave it at that. There is not enough character space here for me to describe my situation and the resulting negligence provided by this practice. The experience was disingenuous and dismissive. If you are looking for a practice to waste your time, diminish you, neglect medical findings, falsely represent what they actually do, leave you exiting the office in no better position than when you came in, then this would be the practice for you.

Dr. Fouke listened to me, took the time with me and has gotten me pain free. Of course I was nervous the first time I met her but she made me feel very comfortable. She is a wonderful and caring persin and shows confidence in what she does. Anyone that I have talked to that works with her have all told me you have a great surgeon, and they are right. Definitely one of the best recommendations I have had. Thank you so much Dr. Fouke.
