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.

I recommend Dr Post above all!
Dr Post has been my hand doctor since I was in my late 20s and I am in my early 60s now. He has been through many procedures with me and I trust no one else with my hands and arms! I play piano, do sign language and use a computer keyboard for a living. So, my hands are very important to me. He is very down to earth and listens to you. A quality not always found these days in doctors. I would recommend Dr Post to anyone!

Dr. Post removed a cyst from my thumb. He. had an unhurried, confident demeanor which put me at ease. He is quite simply, likable. His staff demonstrated the same traits. I would return to Dr. Post if I need his services.C

Excellent
I’ve been to him several times for different issues. He has been very helpful and really cares about getting you better. I choose to drive 1 hr instead of trying to find someone else that is closer to home . Because I know he will do what he can to get me feeling myself again.

In addition to his superior medical training and experience, Dr. Post also excels in listening to patient concerns as well as offering clear explanations and responses to questions. He diagnosed my condition quite easily and defined a course of action for the coming weeks. I am pleased to have 100% confidence in his diagnosis and treatment.Additionally, the whole office operates efficiently and productively, with minimal wait between x-rays and other items. All of the staff -- from the front desk to the nurses and technicians -- go out of their way to interact with patients cheerfully and personably, such that the patient feels recognized and appreciated. Obviously, the physicians set the professional tone for how they want their patients to feel treated. I sensed a cohesion in professional standards as well as personal courtesy. (In contrast, in other offices such as some managed by Rex, my impression has been that the physicians were not involved in the hiring selections).
