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. Deer was very thorough and explained everything he was doing to help me. I had an excellent experience and feel fortunate to have gotten such good care.

What a pompous man. Bad clinician
It’s all about him and his ego. He wanted to stick a device in me right away. I went and did some research and it’s not hard to find he has a relationship with all these device companies that make these devices he wants to put in you. Major conflict of interest.

Excellent doctor ! Surgically implanted a intrathecal drug pump in my spine to treat and manage chronic lower back pain caused by Transverse Myelitis. Has replaced the device twice due to battery expiration and one defective device. I give Dr. Deer my highest possible recommendation.

Selfish
intelligence isn't authentic and it seems like more of a showboating experience. I felt as if the appointment was more about him than it was about me

As a CRNA (certified registered nurse anesthetist) my rating of Dr Deer is the highest in all regards. I was his patient about 10 years ago for approximately 10 years. He never gave up on me and eventually sent me to Clevand Clinic for a new procedure not yet preformed in WV at that time. CC had nothing but the highest regards for him too! Now I'm awaiting a referral from my primary Dr to see Dr Deer again , soon I hope for a different involvement causing me tremendous pain. Thank you Dr Deer for being and staying in Charleston!

my mother has been waiting for an MRI for about a month. I know that insurance has preauthorized it. However, I don't know what the hold up is on Dr. Deer's end.

He is the absolute best! I have been in pain and had back problems for 20 plus years, have been to many doctors, had 3 surgeries, and had maybe 5% relief. I went to his practice and explained I did not want narcotics and wanted to discuss a spinal stimulator. Long story short, the stimulator has helped, and his bedside manner is far above and beyond. He explains things to where you are able to understand and comprehend. All I can say is THANK YOU!

I like and trust Dr. Deer. He didn’t start oral pain medications until I had completed all the medical tests confirming the root cause of my chronic pain. His office, on the the other hand, lacks the same care and attention. They make you feel as if youre a drug addict interrupting their day. I would love to use my professionalism to get that office in order.

Dr. Deer was very caring and compassionate. He took time to explain my problem and what he was going to do to help me. After the procedures he recommended did not fully fix my problem, he referred me to his colleague for a different procedure because his colleague was better at the next procedure than he was. His colleague, Dr. Kim, is also very compassionate and takes time to ensure my understanding of the procedure. Both are great!

Total lack of care I would not recommend that office or staff to anyone Three years and five surgeries I am still in pain this could have been taken care of in October of 2014 but because the woman at the front desk didn't care that I was in pain she said that I had an appointment April 13 2015 and for me not to call back it wouldn't do me any good but I continued to call back finally in December she said that she would squeeze me in February 4 she could have done that in October of 2014.

I would not recommend this office. Dr. Deer did not take time to discuss treatment plans to relieve extreme debilitating pain. I am not able to take narcotics as they do not work for me, and no other treatment items were discussed. I was told I was out of shape. I am at a perfect weight for my height and my BMI is excellent. He billed me for a 99244 and a G0463 with out informing me that he was split billing, and I was not aware of the additional charge. Not ethical, how would I know that?
