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.

Dr Rasmussen
Dr Rass is an amazing doctor. Spends the time explaining procedures and practices. I’ve had both hips replaced and total knee replacement. Yeah, I’d say I trust him! His PA Justin is wonderful too, as is his medical assistant Holly

I just did my first consolidation with Dr Rasmussen. I had been seeing another hip replacement Dr and I just didn’t feel it was a good fit with him. I’m so glad I followed my gut and kept searching and found dr Rasmussen. He was so personable and spent time listening to and answering the questions I had. I left feeling like finally, I found a Dr. Who truly cares and is so comfortable talking to me about the entire process.

Pain for 40 years
I had a motorcycle accident in 1984 which resulted in a compound fracture on my left leg just below the knee I knew my leg was never set properly Because I was a runner and was not able to run after that I had two screws securing my leg which have caused pain for 40 years I also had five lateral meniscus tears repaired on that leg When I had reached out to see if I was eligible for any replacement years ago I was told that they would have to remove the bone with the screws And I would have to wear lifts in my shoe because my legs with no longer be the same length I was so grateful to meet with Dr Rasmussen and have nothing but praise for he and his entire staff I feel like they have given me a new lease on life and I’ am not facing a future Being crippled I also am so grateful for the physical therapy that I’ve received and am still involved in I believe so strongly that physical therapy is vital and Even though I still hurt I can bend for the first time in 40 years

Miracle worker
Dr. Rasmussen, and his team of healthcare providers, are quite possibly the best I’ve ever seen. And unfortunately, I’ve seen quite a few. Dr. Rasmussen replaced my hip and my knee over the period of one year. He used the latest techniques and prosthetics in these procedures. I barely even have a scar to brag about. And his care has completely turned my life around. I can now do things that last year I could not. He’s given me my life back. And they say that surgeons have no bedside manner? Well, they’ve never met Dr. Rasmussen. He truly takes an interest in who you are and how best to help you. Never once did I feel rushed, or as if I were not important. He makes you feel like you’re his only patient. Can’t find that everywhere. So again, thank you Dr. Rasmussen. And thank you to everyone on his team. Especially Justin and Holly.

Dr. Rasmussen
Dr Rasmussen is the best orthopedic surgeon I’ve ever been to and I’ve seen a lot in my 66 years. I’ve been going to him for the last 17 years. He is thorough, professional, always kind and definitely an expert surgeon. His assistant Holly is also fantastic and great to work with if I’ve had any emergency situation, i.e., a fall and I’m not sure if I’m sure I’m injured or not she always gets me in ASAP.

No Breaks!!!
I have been a patient for over 10 yrs. DR Rasmussen replaced my knees in 2011 & 2017. I went in today because I took 2 bad falls in 3 days landing full force on my left knee. After taking x-rays on both knees & examining them closely I was told no breaks to the bones or Prosthes'. Ice, elevation, & time it will get better on its own.

Great skill and compassion
I’m so grateful to Dr Rasmussen and the entire TOSH team for my hip surgery. I feel like it has given me my life back and I’m able to do all the sports I love again. He was very patient answering all my many questions. The surgery and rehab went so well. I highly recommend him and TOSH.

Dr Rasmussen listened and took time to discuss all aspects for total knee replacement surgery and follow up care. As a nurse and physiologist it was important to have expert care and to get answers prior to surgery. Dr Rasmussen provided everything I asked for! At 4 months I was doing so much more than expected! His nurse snd staff are the best!

Just went in for 3 week post operation visit. Couldn’t be happier with the results of my total knee replacement. My pain has been minimal and my range of motion at this point is really great. I will highly recommend Dr. Rasmussen to everyone.

Most definitely. Dr. Rassmussen and his team are fabulous. Dr. Rassmussen is one of the most caring and skilled surgeons one could ever hope for. Both my husband and I have had a number of joint replacements in his skilled hands, allowing us to ski and continue enjoying an active life style. Most recently my husband had to seek some injections in his knees and was able to get an appointment immediately and was taken care of with expertise by Dr. Rassmussen’s PA. They are the best.

Made an appointment to see Dr. Rasmussen because my hip had been paining me. The staff is helpful and everyone was wonderful and friendly. When I had my X-ray that told the story. I’m confident Dr. Rasmussen and his staff will have me up and kicking in no time!
