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 McCloskey performed my cervical dislectomy. Without his expertise and care I would not have been able to continue my nursing career and be pain free.

This doctor did back surgery on my mom last year and released her because he was closing his practice. He did not refer her to another surgeon. She told him she was still in pain he told her to follow-up with her primary physician. I understand that, but he released her before it was time. He did not recommend physical therapy or anything. She Is in pain and no one to help her. Her primary doctor wants her to go to pain management. Popping pills is not going to fix the problem.

Office staff is TEBBIBLE! ! They don't care if you are having any problems or issues. Will NOT tell Dr McCloskey if you called or anything. I went back to the ER five hours after carpal tunnel surgery. Only to be told that I would have to get over it and deal with the pain. I would ever recommend this office. Dr McCloskey might be very skilled surgeon. Unfortunately, his staff is the WORST! ! Finally talking to Dr McCloskey, he acted like he didn't care either.
