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.

Knee Replacement
Dr Been preformed total knee replacement on both knees at different times. Minimal scaring. He was totally professional, very respectful and answered all my questions. He is very serious about his profession. I would refer my family to him.

Didn't x-ray my knee in either of the two times I saw him and "assumed" my fracture was healed. I was told there was nothing into be done for me and to "use" my knee. He gave me a steroid shot which I should not have had with a fracture. I learned 4 weeks later at another doctor's office that I indeed still had a fractured knee. I had to wait 2 more months for the steroids to clear before I could get a PRP treatment.

you have the worst staff ever. I can't have my surgery because your staff never told me about the covid-19 test. I can't put anything up my nose. Thanks a lot, I hope this happens to your staff. Leonard Ice

Dr. Been has done surgery on me & my husband. I would not trust anyone else to work on us. He is very patient, listens, knows what he is doing & such good bedside manners. I usually have no trouble getting in to see him. Office staff is great also. I would recommend him to anyone.

I’ve had multiple surgeries (knee, elbow, etc) with Dr Been and all have been outstanding because he thoroughly explains everything and follows up during/after PT. He’s approachable and easy to talk to. Like a lot of Dr.’s he is very busy and sometimes the wait times in his office are long but that is not a reflection of his medical capabilities.

Our son broke his ankle. Dr. Been was very helpful in getting our son in quickly to be evaluated. He performed surgery on him and the whole process went incredibly smoothly. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

1st visit: About to ask a quest., JB interrupts & states" U can waste both r time with questions or I can tell u what you need to know." I made the appointment, appropriated time in my schedule, so it was JB who considered his time wasted by quest. JB's statement manifests arrogance, condescending attitude, narcism, disdain, & lack of self awareness Google Search provided resources for the info I sought.
