I have to say this this Dr and its staff was very nice and fun. I went in to give them my issurance info and filled out my paper work and was quickly seen at the appointed time. My office visit should have been 30.00 but was charges 31.00 I think samantha need a dollar. LOL that was an issue with my bank but no big deal. I would go back and visit this Dr. and would Trust him.

You have this doctor listed incorrectly. He isn't family or general practice. He is an Orthopedist.

Knows what he's doing. If you want to whine, go somewhere else. He's too busy helping good people to hear whiners.

Rushed me in and out really quick. He acted as if i was unimportant and as if my injuries were not serious. Staff was not to friendly. I was in and out of the room in two minutes or less. Very unsatisfied. Have had promlems for three months (seeing him for 1 1/2 months)and still have not been diagnosed.

My husband presently has as claim against him with the Texas Medical Board. He supposely put a new kind of knee replacement in my husband''s knee which as it turns out was a lie and now my husband is facing a total knee replacement because of this quack. Also I agree with the other women''s comment on here. His staff is extremely rude and neither them or the dr take the time to discuss your case. Basically what he runs is a surgury mill. One right after another, not taking the time to diagnosis each case properly. It''s money money to him and his office staff.

My husband had surgery in 1996 which dr. likeover did the cervical fusion on his neck. the doctor was very rude, arrogant and did not explain anything to us. After the surgery, my husband lost his voice for almost a year and has worse pain now than before the surgery and also has nerve damage and can not feel his right hand, he has had constant pain for years. When Dr. Likeover finished the surgery, he came out to me and said the surgery went fine and he'll be awake in about an hour and THAT WAS IT!! He didn't explain anything to me! He treated us like crap everytime he saw us and was very rough with my husband...i could say more but I think you get the picture.

My son was seen at this office for a broken foot. The asst was very gruff with my son & we were rushed in & out without any instructions (written or verbal) on how to care for his foot, how to adjust the crutches... Nothing! Within 2 wks of the appt the cast began to fall apart & I had to apply duct tape on it to hold it together. I called to make an appt for a new cast to be put on and I was questioned very rudely about how the cast came apart and was told I'd have to pay for the new cast because they doubted CHIP would cover the cost. I asked if someone there could call to inquire about whether the 2nd cast was covered, and was told, "you can make that call if you'd like, but we won't". I was transferred 3 times before Marsha, the office mgr told me I should have gone to another dr if I didn't like the service I was receiving. I wouldn't take my son back there if he was the last dr on earth! I feel I was discriminated against because my son is on state insurance. Horrible experience!

I was sent to see Dr.Likeover for an opinion for a herniated disc.At the first visit he was pleasant although he was not very friendly.The plan was to return to see him after injections were performed.My follow up appt was a wk before the procedure.At that time I expressed my hope that it would work and that I was in alot of pain.He was not sympathetic to my pain.In fact he released me back to work full time light duty sedentary only which I explained how sitting increased my pain.He said 'I never said it would be comfortable!'I tried to do the best I could & went to see him several times begging for help with my work schedule,meds to help my pain releif & insomnia due to the pain.He refused to give me adequate med for the pain or relief from my work schedule.After injections did not succeed& surgery was recomended he still offered me no help.His bedside manner arrogant,uncaring,short,incosiderate!He talks in cold,degrading&intimidating way.A DR is there to help right?Not this DR!!

Dr. Likeover in the report turned in to the insurance co. didn't use my right name, or 2 other Doctors I told him I saw called them by different names on the report. checked the opposite arm that I was having problems. Then after 5 minutes of an examination came to the conclusion everthing was ok with me. If that was truly the case and he did a true complete exam I would not upset, I have had 2 neck surgeries and live every day with constant neck pain, back pain, and leg pain from a fall down the stairs in 2000, and in a 5 minute exam says I can manage my pain with over the counter pain meds that I should have to pay for instead of the insurance co. to pay for the nerve damage and motrin meds. So no, he is not knowledgeable nor helpful in knowing how to take care of patients whether it be workers comp. or his personal patient the exam should be treated the same. After all he is still a Dr. right?
