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.

Highly recommend Dr Sinkov to all
Dr Sinkov is the best! He replaced one of my neck disks in 2021. I was really scared and he was 3rd doctor I met for consultation, but I felt confident and choose him. Dr Sinkov is very professional, he takes time to explain and answer all the questions. I was healed and recovered after 4-5 months. Scar is minimal. His staff are great ! His wife Mariel ( his assistant ) is very helpful , she responds to emails very quickly , helps with paperwork and prescriptions. I am forever thankful!

Thank you Dr. Sinkov
I had debilitating back pain for many years and all other doctors just wanted to prescribe drugs for the pain. I saw Dr. Sinkov and within 30 seconds of looking at the MRI he asked me when I broke my back. I had no idea that I had a broken back. He told me that he had a cancellation in four weeks and he could get me in if I wanted surgery. I was excited and accepted. Four weeks later he did a TLIF on L5-S1 and I was back to work in five days (limited duty of course).

This practice is exceptional! I had my spinal fusion done by Dr. Sinkov in March 2021 and after 7 months I am completely pain free in my back, hips , legs and feet! What a difference this surgeon with an awesome bed side manor, has made in mine and my family's life. The team here are so kind and caring, you feel taken care of every step of the way. I have "graduated" now in Sinkov's words and will miss seeing the staff, but can't say enough good things about my experiences here.

Anyone that has any spinal problems should go and see Dr. Sinkov. It is very rare that a doctor nowadays takes the time it takes to explain everything to the patient.… I have been in Dr. Sinkov care now for over four months, and I can only rave about his service and care. In addition, the staff is excellent. Always friendly, professional and helpful.
