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’m so Happy I was able to stay ‘on island ‘ for my total knee replacement surgery. To be able to come home & not have to drive to the SSA & get on a boat meant the world to me. Everything went great. I would recommend the MVH & Dr Halsey & his team to anyone

Dr. Halsey did total knee replacements on both of my knees, one in September 2015 and the second in November 2015. The entire process was superior. My knees were severely damaged from years of high impact sports, work, and play. I interview two other orethopedic surgeons before him and he was great to work with start to finish as was his staff, especially Tammy his nurse. I wanted knees that I could use actively and selected him from a small group of surgeons that would provide Oxinium knees.

He repaired the meniscus tear in my right knee in January 2015. upon followup a few weeks later I asked how long I could continue normal life with this second time repaired meniscus. His answer was I don't know! Not it depends or for some it can last quite a while. Within six months I could hardly walk at times. I opted to see someone who could give me better answers to my questions.

Knee surgery results have been excellent, and Dr. Halsey is a superb surgeon and very caring doctor. He explained everything thoroughly, and I never felt rushed. He called frequently to see how I was progressing, and his attention far exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him highly.
