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.

He’s Grest!
This was my annual post-surgery followup to bilateral total joint knee replacement in 2006. Online check-in was convenient and minimized time spent in the waiting room. X-rays were taken promptly after being called back to the exam room. Dr. Bender is cordial, and answered all of my questions. Staff is terrific. A good visit. And you’ve got to love an orthopedist named BENDER!

Initial Knee Injury Consult
Dr. Bender was very personable. He made me feel relaxed, asked good questions, and seemed invested in my health. I often feel the arrogance of doctors. But with Dr. Bender, his humility set me at ease. I also appreciated how he talked me through everything he was doing or about to do in the fluid extraction and cortisone shot.
