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.

Ive had successful experiences. I had microfracturing of Left knee in 2018, I was told, going in, that Recovery would be 5 weeks no load bearing, I followed instructions and my knee has been great. I had an arthroscopy of my right knee recently 1-26-22, Dr. Eidt was able to clean out my knee joint, removed EIGHT pieces of bone chips and cartilage. My meniscus was too torn to repair, so he trimmed it. He said I didn’t need a knee replacement yet. In 2 days I was walking without crutches, only because I thought I was supposed to use crutches. After 2 weeks now my knee is awesome. I'm 60 and have a lot of arthritis, and a lot of experience, hip replacement, total shoulder replacement, an ACL repair and other stuff. I've learned that MRIs and Xrays are not perfect and cannot see everything. Doctors are human and medicine is not an exact science. Ya make the best "call" you can. I think most people have unrealistic expectations. But, Dr. Eidt has been great for me.

Went to him after injuring my knee, he met with me for about 4 mins, and said I needed ACL surgery within 3 weeks. We are in the middle of a pandemic so I decided before that invasive of a surgery with a long recovery to get a second opinion. Two doctors later and 6 weeks of PT I am back to my active life with no surgery needed. Do not jump quickly into surgery due to this doctor, he works for the surgery center and PT center with his practice. Always get a second opinion.

I visited Dr. Eidt and he was very distracted during my consultation and didn't listen to my actual issue. He never touched my back to determine what I was trying to describe. He unnecessarily sent me to Physical Therapy. (I later learned that I have a large Limpoma near my spine that he never detected.)

He pushed Physical Therapy when we insisted Physical Therapy had already been tried over a long course of time. Asked repeatedly for an MRI and he was very insistent that it was not necessary even though my husband has been suffering for over 10 years with the same problem (physical therapy attempted multiple times) Over 10 years of debilitating pain and desperate for more conclusive testing and he sent us away and told us to come back in 2 more months after yet another round Physical Therapy!?

Best of the best. Hands down. I placed my 85 year old mother in his hands. She had broken her arm and things were not good at all. He is compassionate, communicative and is very objective. I cannot speak well enough about this man and his ability. On a side note. Should you choose him to be your Dr, know that the scheduler whos name is Asuni is awesome. Talk about someone who has a VERY CHALLENGING job and goes the extra mile to help. He is the one that does. No matter what, no matter how slam

Dr Eidt is wonderful when it comes to making your condition a lot easier to understand, must admit sometimes your wait time is longer than others but knowing your wait is because he is helping patients in the same manner you expect makes it easy.

We had a very frustrating experience mostly with the office. Dr. Eidt was personable and knowledgeable but had a lack of empathy for the injury and recovery.
