Dr. Baig fixed my lower back. L4 & L5. It was a big surgery and he & his staff were exceptional.

Review for Dr. Baig

I had worked with Dr. McAllister at another surgery center and was impressed with his professionalism and experience. He certainly proved that in my case. I will recommend him to anyone going forward.

Tony Cea Mar 24 2024

Review for Dr. McAlister

Explained everything thoroughly and is very personable. He takes time and patient does not feel rushed. Wonderful personality and very thoughtful. He cares about his patient's welfare.

Bonnie H. Mar 24 2024

Review for Dr. Farooqui

I went for my annual visit with Dr. Ackerman and mentioned my concern that my eyebrows have disappeared in clumps in the past few months. Her response was so empathetic and caring that it made me tear up. She discussed some possible causes and did a biopsy to determine for sure. I always appreciate...

MLR Mar 22 2024

Review for Dr. Ackerman

My needs and concerns went unheard and the Doctor walked out on me mid sentence. It actually left me stunned.
