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 Fife is an exceptional physician and THE expert in his field and I am grateful for the care I receive.

Arizona vertigo – Jul 15, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Fife?
I am a doctor. I know what good healthcare should look like. Dr. Fife misdiagnosed my disease, sent me to therapy that was not useful, made me feel incompetent, and was difficult to schedule due to his frequent absences. I would prefer NO stars.

Central Vertigo – Nov 08, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Fife?
Dr Terry Fife was always extremely good at listening to my concerns regarding my symptoms or medication. He was right on about my diagnosis from the very first visit. I had seen five neurologist previously including one from Phoenix Mayo without a diagnosis. It was a relief to have someone put a name and explaanation to my symptoms. He did this giving me what hope he could and was always great communicating the related information that was beneficial,to me.

Dr Fife has been my doctor for many years. From his training (which is rare for a neurologist) he has so much experience I could not imagine where I would be without him. I have a life and I can function. I know plenty unfortunate people in other states and countries that would give anything to have a quality neurologist close to them. The nature of our Condition can make traveling tough and I know how luck I am.

I love Dr. Fife. I know that sounds extreme, but when someone gives your life back to you, well, that person becomes a key person in one's life. I thought I would spend the rest of my life not being able to take care of my kids or enjoy my life. He has been patient and caring in figuring out how to get my life back. I will forever be thankful to Doctor Fife!
