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.

Best Orthopedic Surgeon
From initial visit, until treatment is completed and you are well, Dr. Schlimmer and his staff will be there for you. Whether you are just getting Injections, orthoscopic or complete replacement of a joint, you cannot find a better Dr to do all this and more. Bedside manner is great and he has taken care of my family for almost 2 decades

He replaces both of my knees @ one time in Oct 2010. I was walking a mile in 4 weeks. I really like his handling of the case and recommend him highly. He told me to do what my knees would let me after I told him I was wearing knee pads and painting the baseboard in our home. Went back to work in the oilfield. In the field after 3 months of surgery.

I met Dr Schlimmer yesterday after meeting with several other Orthopedic Surgeons and he is to the point. Typical office Cust, wait approximately 30 minutes, fill out paperwork. Stall was very cordial and efficient. I liked what He told me, he answered my questions about knee replacements. More to follow later.

Dr Schlimmer has done arthroscopic procedures on both my shoulders, my left one about 9 yrs ago, he did an excellent job and my right one was almost 4 months ago still bothering me, I trust Dr Schlimmer, he said he did a lot to that shoulder which I know he did, I'm a retired nurse and know that I'm in the best care with him. He sits with you and explains everything very well like you're the only patient there.

Worst doctor I've ever seen. Arrogant, unprofessional, did not do his job. When you have an appointment you will wait 2-3 hours. He will expect you to like it or you can leave, this is his attitude.

Tops in professionalism, skill and class! I have always believed I have been given the best in treatment and care from Dr. Schlimmer and his staff. Very caring and considerate. Always felt safe. Outstanding. I waited one time longer than 20 minutes and his staff came out and apologized and said he had emergency and running behind and offered to reschedule if we desired and could not wait. Then when I did go back and consult with Dr Schimmer he personally apologized for he wait. Wow. Very nice.
