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.

Follow-up for surgery of a fully herniated disc.
Several months ago, I woke up with painful sciatica. Weeks of physical therapy, two epidurals and two nerve block injections provided no relief. My MRI showed a mass and my Pain Management doctor referred me to Dr. Gaudin. I was extremely impressed by my first visit. Before seeing me, Dr. Gaudin reviewed my complete medical history including all imaging tests from the last several years that were in my portal. He carefully explained what my MRI revealed, using his model of the spine. He allowed me plenty of time to ask questions and was very empathetic with my situation. The results of the surgery far exceeded my expectations. I felt complete relief almost immediately. They say miracles don't happen anymore - I disagree. In my follow up visits, Dr. Gaudin has been equally thorough. Behind his boyish youthful looks, there is a very experienced and skillful surgeon - a true healer. His staff, especially Kathleen, is a godsend - always available to help with any issues.

Dr Xavier Gaudin
I can’t say enough how much Dr Gaudin’s expertise helped me. After many appointments with several doctors with no resolution to my extreme back pain , I ended up at Dr Gaudin’s office. I am so grateful for his sincere, knowledgeable character. He not only helped me with 2 herniated discs by doing a back fusion but was genuinely concerned about me. I would never hesitate to recommend him and am so glad I found him.

I can stress enough how this group of doctors I’ve been seeing over 20 yrs and Dr. Gaudin and Kathleen make it so easy! I highly recommend this office! I had carpal tunnel surgery and it was easy went better than I thought and there so compassionate! Kathleen is the best! She is perfect for her patience’s understanding and kindness unfortunately she’s not the office manager. She should be.

Dr Gaudin gives the best care ever !
Dr Xavier Gaudin is the best surgeon you will find in his field of medicine & I say this because of his excellent expertise doing laminectomy surgery on my husband. We had a great experience on our first visit with him. He took his time to explain the procedure to us and the outcome . His staff was always very pleasant and kind. The whole process from beginning to end was a positive experience. In addition to his expertise, his personal relationship with his patients is exceptional. I would highly recommend Dr Gaudin to family and friends . God bless you Dr Gaudin!

Lower Back Surgery
I was referred to Dr. Gaudin by my physician. He explained everything about the procedure and what to expect after. Always willing to spend time with his patients and not rush out the room without answering every question. Very professional and even the office staff was always pleasant. Would definitely recommend him and now I am feeling much better comparing to couple months ago.

I was referred to Dr. Gaudin by my primary care physician. Even though he doesn’t take my insurance, he worked with me. He referred me to an interventional pain management group which was very helpful. He oversaw what was done there and gave me more options to treat my pain. He explains things well and doesn’t rush you. I felt like I could trust him.

Bad back
Dr Gaudin performed surgery on my lower back. Right and left sides. When I found him I could hardly walk and my legs felt like they had cinder blocks attached to them. I couldn’t stand in one place for even one minute before having to sit down. Dr Gaudin’s post care was awesome. I had the surgery on 8/1/22 and now I go back to work on Monday feeling great. I can now stand any length of time and walk for as long as I want. Dr Gaudin provided me a new lease on life that I am very grateful for. I highly recommend him. Can’t say enough how happy and satisfied I am.

Exceptional and Excellent
Dr. Gaudin is an exceptional, diligent and skilled doctor with an excellent bedside manner! He recently resected my husband’s spinal tumor and all went better than expected. He takes his time to sit and explain everything to you in plain language that you can understand. He followed up with calls before, during and after the procedure. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

He takes time to explain everything to us. He is always reachable to answer any questions we have. His bedside manner is comforting and he is very knowledgeable. I would recommend him very highly. It was by chance that we were introduced to care for my husband but now I can't imagine him not being a part of our medical care team.

Dr. Gaudin is the best! Not only is he competent, skilled and professional, but he is also a caring, kind person who took the time to talk with me about any questions or concerns I had about havung a microdiscectomy and laminectomy. I felt reassured and trusted him completely. So glad I did because 2 weeks post surgery, I am already feeling better after suffering from major sciatic pain that was so debilitating. Thank you Dr. G.! PLEASE don't ever change the way you are with patients. You are a real gem! Rachael -
