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.

Terrible experience, a total waste of time. He talked to me for all of 5 minutes and didn't listen to a word I said. He had no concern for what my symptoms were or how long I had been in pain. When he examined me he was sure to point out the stretch marks on my arm (they had nothing to do with my injury) and then he saw a red mark my bra strap made and became fixated on that, saying my shoulder pain could be from shingles. He then told me I was fine and that I could leave, no treatment plan, no nothing. I felt very dismissed and I would not go back. I absolutely do not recommend.

I indeed recommend Dr. Bargren!!! He is a "5" & his staff are too. He knows his stuff & don't let his age fool you.(He looked 60 to me) As long as he knew what he was talking about & does that's all that matters to anyone!! Thank you Dr. Barren, M.D. Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have been a patient of Dr Bargren for almost 20 years. He has treated me for several broken ankles, and knee pain, which included three orthoscopic knee surgeries. He is warm and informative and communicates well. My surgeries each went very well and so did my healing process. I have come to trust him as my "go-to" orthopedic guy.
