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.

Fabulous Provider and I should know!
In the past I have had 2 hip arthroscope procedures by Dr Bynum that turned out fabulous. This visit was not about me however. My wife experienced a ruptured-torn hamstring while moving a table in our home. We spent 9 hours in the ER and after a CT scan we were advised there was a complete tear. My wife was in terrible pain for 6 days until we could get in to the office, but it paid off. Dr. Bynum surmised by her symptoms that there may be a chance she had a hematoma present in the hamstring. After an in-office ultrasound, sure enough he was right! HUGE HEMATOMA. Dr Bynum drained about 75CCs of fluid and now my wife can place her foot on the ground for the 1st time in 6 days. Next is PT and go on from there. A tremendous call by Dr. Bynum and I will be sure to let Dr Eichten know how well he performed. I can without hesitation recommend Dr Bynum and his staff! Tremendous Practitioner!

Thank you!
My hamstring is ruptured and I was unable to straighten my leg. Dr. Bynum did an ultrasound to see if there was blood to be drained - and there was! Approx 70 cc's worth and eith it gone, I can now lower my leg. (Pressure and pain have both diminished significantly.) Physical therapy starts Monday so we are hoping to repair my hamstring without surgery. A 'thank you' doesn't seem to cover it but... 'Thank you Dr. Bynum and I appreciate your staff too.'

Dr. Bynum is the Best
Went to see Dr.Bynum for my knee pain and I wanted another shot. He said it was a good idea and of course I get Anastasia Monzone to do the shot. Dr.Bynum is great but Anastasia makes it feel like it didn’t happen. I highly recommend him and Anastasia, I will never go to any other doctors ever.
