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.

He is the best doctor I've had in years.
Dr. Cartwright was strait up with me about my leg having gangrene and being septic that he needed to cut my leg off... He did a wonderful job even made sure to visit me in ICU and in the clean room explaining the procedures that I had to go through to help heal my left leg...I haven't had a qualified, friendly and trustworthy doctor since I've moved to Arkansas. Dr. Cartwright went beyond any doctor by helping me want to live. I am not in the best health and he is helping me find the best doctors to help with my weight and the veinous hypertension so my body can heal... Thank you Dr. Cartwright.

I would recommend Dr. Cartwright to family and friends or anyone needing hip surgery. I was treated well, explained my condition before surgery very clear. Explained my surgery and what to expect after surgery very well. Appointments were on time. Took time to answer any and all questions. He treated me with respect. Made his rounds at hospital on a timely manner. Always asking if there was anything else I needed in the hospital and at my appointments. I felt he took wonderful care of me before surgery and after surgery. I was very impressed with Dr. Cartwright. I have recovered very well. Had no problems at all after surgery. I feel he did a great job. Dr. Cartwright did a total hip replacement on both hips and they are working out great. I would call on him if I needed anything else done. I feel he is a great surgeon, and an outstanding doctor.

Dr. Cartwright is extremely knowligble & is on the leading edge of medicine. His specialty is orthopedics but I would like to use him for all of my medical needs. Feel that I would be much better off.

I really liked Dr. Cartwright until my last surgery I had with him. I proceeded to tell him how his staff made me feel when I asked for pain medication. The day before my surgery, his staff was grilling me like I was a criminal. After bringing this up to the dr. his whole attitude toward me changed and drastically. He never came to see me in recovery, or after I was in my room. After telling the nurse that I wanted to talk with him, he came in yelling at me. no letters left

I cannot recommend this physician highly enough. Specifically, he took the time to properly diagnose the source of chronic back pain caused by an auto accident in 2007. Then he performed injections of PRP (platelet rich plasma) using my own stem cells that gave me the first real, lasting relief since the accident. Dr Cartwright really listened to my input. He is equipped with the latest technology and is constantly updating his own knowledge on the latest medical breakthroughs.
