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 has abandoned my care without cause
He examined me and had X-rays taken and said he would order a hip injection for me. That was 11 days ago and he did not do the paper work for the injection. His staff hangs up when I phone. I am in a lot of pain. This person has abandoned me and refuses to communicate.

Dr. Powers was attentive. He kept a close eye on my broken foot and toe. I previously had a knee surgery by him which was treated the same. He is also punctual which is very important to me, as a business owner, I don’t have time to wait hours to see a specialist.

Dr. Powers' Reply –
Thank you so much for the review.
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Powers?
Ok, there was a long wait before I seen him. It took 2 months from my appointment date. Now was he effective and personal very much so. It was all worth it to me. I have seen some Orthopedic doctor's in my time. A good one is hard to come by. I felt comfortable and heard by Dr. Powers. We will see what's next.

This doctor can NOT deliver what he suggests and/or recommends, espically if you're trying to get a PRP injection. I waited more than 5 months and his clinic every month gave me a diffident excuse that the injection was not ready (blaming it on Admin paper works & vendor). On my visitations every time I waited around 2 hours to see him, even when I had appointments. He works at class D type of clinics. He can talk and give you a good speech, but his clinic can not deliver what they promise.
