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.

Recent Visit
I have been a patient of Dr. Rightmire for many years. He has successfully treated me for a broken bone in my foot, a broken bone in my leg and multiple issues with my knees, a torn meniscus and arthritis. I wholeheartedly recommend him. In fact I already have to many of my friends who need orthopaedic care and they are happy with him as well.

Great 1st visit
Within minutes of an evaluation, Dr. Rightmire and I were on the same page and created a plan for my treatment. I walked out feeling confident and assured, would highly recommend, but hope you never need him!

Dr. Rightmire listened intently and used the X-rays to explain my condition. He prescribed therapy and a return visit in 6 weeks. I felt heard and in competent hands.

Outstanding Service
Dr Rightmire was patient and kind during my recent visit to PBO. His knowledge of Orthopedics is incredible but he really spends the time to explain everything in layman’s terms. He is an amazing doctor that I highly recommend. Anyone would be lucky to be in his care.
