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.

I appreciate the gracious, tentative care
Dr. Hess, Your reputation truly precedes you. My sister, who is a nurse, has spoken highly of you based on what she has heard, and everyone at Our Lady of the Lake holds you in high regard. My personal experience with you and your team has been nothing short of professional, accommodating, and gracious. After struggling to find care and secure referrals, I am profoundly grateful that those challenges ultimately led me to your capable and compassionate hands. I am deeply humbled.

Dr. Hess & his staff are wonderful
I injured my knee a month before my son’s wedding. I was on crutches, in pain, and worried that I wouldn’t be able to walk down the aisle or dance at my son’s wedding. Dr. Hess and his staff were wonderful. Dr. Hess was kind, professional, and reassuring! My son and I were able to have our mother - son dance and I was able squeeze in a few other dances as well. If you or someone you love needs an orthopedist, I highly recommend Dr. Hess.

I will send all my friends and family to see Dr Hess. He is very good at his job. He made sure he tried everything to make my hip better before we decided on surgery. Surgery went great and I am now pain free. I am so grateful to Dr. Hess and his staff for everything they have done.

I broke my talus bone, actually it was shattered in a motor vehicle accident, Dr Hess being the miracle worker had me walking in in several months. This injury happened in May and I'm fully functional. He was professional , precise and very thorough. To say he's skilled is an understatement!!! The best there is. THANK YOU ??
