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 felt very uncomfortable around dr Sullivan. He was rude, I felt very talked down to and I ended up having to see a different doctor for my treatment because he was misdiagnosing me. It feels that he lets his ego get in the way of providing adequate treatment and care for his patients and I am seeing I’m not the only one who’s had this experience. Do better.

I met Charlie in 2007 at the University Of Utah. I went there with a partial amputation on my right hand. Since then, 13 surgeries later and he has done every one. Very professional and great bedside manner. He is the only ortho that I will use.

Dr. Sullivan was very enthusiastic about problem-solving a difficult situation in my wrist, which for an active person like myself was imperative to have full range of motion, less pain and better use of my hand. He did an creative and competent job in putting me back together and I now have great use of this damaged wrist, much strength and very manageable pain. I would recommend him to anyone and have had another surgeon comment on how appropriate and well done the surgery was.
