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.

Best shoulder suegeon
Dr. Seeto did a great job with my left shoulder replacement 3 years ago. My right shoulder arthritis is also very severe, and 2 1/2 years ago, he thought it was wise to consider a replacement for it too. I wasn't yet ready to go through another surgery though.But I waited too long, and he is no longer with the Core Institute. I would love to find his current practice because I trust his expertise.

Shoulder assessment
Tired of the pain in my shoulder joints, and decided to seek a resolution to it. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the Core Institute’s employees efficiently processed the patients. Dr Seeto was professional, and obviously well versed in his field. After reviewing the X-rays that were taken, and processed just minutes before, he was able to explain in (simple terms ) what was going on. I felt comfortable making a quick, informed decision to move on to the next step which will be an MRI.
