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.

Dr. Aaron’s was absolutely AMAZING with the surgery of our 15 year old son. He went above and beyond to correct my son’s spine. He had a 50° curve and Dr. Aaron’s performed a big surgery on his spine (spinal fusion) the surgery was a success and very good work. He is very informative and will give you all the knowledge you need as well as answer any questions you would have. He is compassionate and understanding to the patients need and parents concerns. I HIGHLY Recommend Dr. Aaron’s for any orthopedic surgery needed. Absolutely 100% satisfaction. Thank You Dr. Aaron’s for fixing our son’s back and giving him more comfort and confidence.

Bad Bedside Behavior
Did not have a good experience with Dr. Aarons stated he did not care when I ask his opinion. I was told he was the best and had the surgery with another doctor assisting. We had to get another surgery it was not corrected.

Missed ACL Tear
Dr. Aarons saw our child after a soccer injury. Our child described a pop in their knee and searing pain. After feeling their knee, Dr. Aarons diagnosed an MCL sprain. After our child spent a few weeks in a brace, he cleared them to play soccer, but our child said their knee still did not feel right. We took them to another practice, which ordered an MRI and then diagnosed a complete ACL tear. Dr. Aarons never asked for or looked at an MRI; he only felt and manipulate their knee to diagnose and then clear for return to play.

He was very good at taking the time to explain things to my daughter and me. And he made sure before he left, we understood and had our questions answered.

My son was referred to Dr. Aarons at the age of 8 months and we have been bonded since my son is now 11 years old. He has always been warm and tentative to our needs. The staff is always warm as well.

Dr. Aarons and his staff have been great to work with. The office was quick to provide an appointment for my son after he injured his wrist in a sporting event. Dr. Aarons provided surgical and non-surgical options to address my sons injuries. We have found his team to be very approachable, open to questions, and quick to address an concerns. Thank you Dr. Aarons and team!
