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 Surgeon around!
Ive had a few surgeries this past year and Dr. Dockter was by far the best surgeon I had. While other surgeries had good outcomes, the care I received both pre and post surgery with him were far superior. Follow up care from him and staff were exceptional. I would highly recommend him.

Uses variety of techniques customized to my needs.
Dr. Dockter did an excellent job with my knee replacement. I was impressed with how he was willing to try everything to get my knee working well for me. We started with injections, then progressed to surgery, then he was willing to do a manipulation to improve my range of motion. He and his PA work with me to get the physical therapy to keep the gains coming. Highly recommend.

My son left his care with a crooked leg
We had heard great things about Dr. Dockter so when my 15 year old son had an injury and broke his arm and his leg we were excited the ER referred us to him. We went in and he casted both and told us to follow up in 6 weeks. After casting my son had a lot of increased pain and spasms up his leg. We contacted the office and was told that it can be normal and meds were called in. 6 weeks after casting we went in for removal and my sons leg was crooked. It had been casted wrong and healed 25degrees crooked. We were told to wait another several weeks to see if it would "remodel" correctly. While waiting we went to seek other opinions. We were told by two separate ortho docs that it is standard to do an xray after casting and then a few weeks later to monitor healing. I wrote into Dr. Dockter and he told me that this is not standard for his practice and that he was sorry. My son had to have surgery to re-break his bones (tibia and fibula), straighten them, add cadaver bone and then have a p
