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.

Shoulders- frozen shoulder and osteoarthritis
Dr Noel is very thorough! He listened to everything I had to say and took into account the activities I do. 10 years ago he manipulated both shoulders. I had a great experience after recovery. No pain!! Now I have arthritis in one shoulder. Got a cortisone shot and will ride those out until I need a new shoulder. I wouldn’t allow anyone else to give me a new shoulder. Great Doc!

The very best care.
From the beginning of my surgery for a rotator cuff tear until my last follow-up appointment contact I had was handled professionally, knowledgeable and with kindness. Top notch care from generally nice people who care.

Recent shoulder surgery with Dr. Noel
Dr. Noel is very pleasant and doesn’t rush through the initial exam or the follow up appointments. I felt very confident in his abilities and my surgery went as well as I had hoped. His residency and fellowship training was done at well respected centers. I was fortunate to have had him perform my procedures.
