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 Jackson performed shoulder surgery on me. Recovery went as planned and without any complications. Dr Jackson and Jacob were very attentive and responsive. I am so thankful they are here! I would recommend them to friends and family

Great experience
I’ve been seeing Dr Jackson for a year and a half. I really appreciate having him as my doctor. I’m still relatively young (38yr) and he seems to really care about helping me get to my best health in the best way for me. Sometimes it feels like doctors want you to just give up and be satisfied with good enough but he sees value in you and obtaining your best health. He has also taken care of my husband with great care as well.

DOES NOT DO ALL THE TALKING… HE LISTENS!!!
The most important thing to me about a doctor is that he or she listens to their patient. A doctor can exam you all day long, but if they don’t hear your specific complaints and concerns, and deal with how you are feeling along with their exam and other information about you, they can’t possibly treat your condition properly, and leave you feeling confident that you have received the best treatment and advice. I have other health issues that have to be addressed with any other meds or treatments that another doctor would suggest, and Dr Jackson listens and addresses all of my concerns. He explains things so that you understand what the problem is, what your best options are, and you know exactly what to expect. He does not rush his patients or the exam. He is a very knowledgeable and pleasant person, and I won’t go to any other Orthopedic doctor or surgeon again. I have complete confidence in him and his entire staff, and respect and appreciate the job they do!!!
