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. Teacher is personable and focuses on his patients with a friendly and interested manner. I have been seeing him for over ten years and have not been disappointed with his treatment nor his recommendations. Additionally he has the kind of office staff that is becoming more rare: they are efficient but not rushed, and they are always very warm and accommodating. I highly recommend his practice.

First visit was amazing. Staff, Laura especially, was very kind and helpful. Office was safe and clean. Dr Teacher spent the time with me to answer questions and he was very personable. I would highly recommend Dr Teacher to anyone needing Neurology services.

Dr. Teacher has provided top notch care and followed up with me over the holiday weekend. Awesome care giver would highly recommend him. He diagnosed a condition an emergency room missed, and immediately processed a prescription for me to pick-up within 10 mintues

Dr Teacher is a great caring professional. Takes the time to talk with you and explain options and suggest alternative solutions. May run a bit late as he continues the discussion until he and you are satisfied that everything is understood.

Dr. Teacher is one of the least helpful physicians I have encountered. I went to him with neurological disorders affecting my ability to walk. After several sessions with Dr. Teacher I know nothing more than I knew when I first met with him. Also, his encounter notes are not available. His office told me the notes were not available because he does not transcribe them as an economy measure. See another neurologist.

Diagnosis, evaluation and treatment for neck (in 2004) and spine (in 2015) prior to eventual surgery. Friendly, easy going attitude with clear and concise explanations. Does not rush you and takes all the time you need to answer questions.
