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.

This person ruined my life at age 52. Botched my surgery and left my with constant, permanent, extremely painful nerve damage. Would never recomend him

Dr. Pineda, has operated on my mother, my daughter & myself! Very good doctor & surgeon! He finds the problem, after quite a bit of research, then fixes it! Very nice & good bedside manners.

my experience was he treated me as a person, was involved in my treatment, answered all my questions, his bedside manner was very nice and he was gentle and knowledgeable about my condition. No surgery recommended but he was able to fit me with a brace.

Dr. Pineda treated me for lower back issues, including disc/nerve impingement at L3-4 and spinal stenosis. He performed surgery on my back and I'm feeling and doing great 4 months later. He and his staff were all very professional and helpful. I would definitely highly recommend Dr. Pineda for treatment of any back issues.

I had an MIS TLIF for a PARS Defect and Dr. Pineda was the third and most highly recommended surgeon. I am a very active person and my life had been significantly impaired, I could barely walk. I received surgery in a very timely manor and was well taken care of. The surgery has been completed successfully and I receive excellent follow up care. I highly recommend Dr. Pineda. I just complete a 175 mile Ride Across Wisconsin- pain free!

Did not look me in the eye. Did not perform any hands on physical exam. What dismissive, minimizing my symptoms. I didn't need any type of surgery and he basically made me feel like l was a waste of his time. Extremely disappointed with his lack of professionalism. Would not recommend to anyone?.

Dr. Pineda performed spinal fusion on my 14 year old daughter for scoliosis. He was amazing!!! Surgery went well and he was able to correct her spine curvature remarkably. He called us at home to check on us came to hospital on a Sunday to check on her and went out of his way to make sure she was healing well. Never felt rushed when in the office and he spent plenty of time explaining everything and answering any questions we had. Would for sure recommend to everyone!!! A+++
