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.

My dog had better follow up after TPLO surgery
I should have been worried after the initial office visit felt like an assembly line. My post operative care was non existent. The office refused my request for outpatient therapy 4 times. The only follow up was 8 weeks after surgery and it was only telemedicine. How can you assess gait like that. At 7 weeks when the nite pain persisted I was told just live with it for 3 months. Dr clohisy might be a surgical guru/ god but he and his office need to listen to the patient and follow up better. My dog had better follow up after TPLO surgery than I experienced with this office. Run the other way! BTW I was in medicine for 45 years so I’m not talking only as a disgruntled patient.

My insurance Tricare says he’s InNetwork and when I call his office the appt ladies say Dr. Clohisy prefers not to accept Tricare which is military insurance and pays very well. That’s ashamed he does t want to treat military families.

I am off balance ever since the hip surgery. NOPAIN in replaced hip, but body is not "squared" or something as I no longer have balance and have constant back pain as I feel the body is twisted. Standing in front of the mirror, the body does not face forward since the right hip replacement. I imagine it was a good hip replacement, but not positioned right for me to walk. What good is a assembly line replacement if my body line is now off key. I am now disabled due to no balance.

I would recommend Dr. Clohisy. I am very comfortable with him. I have issues with the resident he had with him for the last 2 surgeries. Also have issues with communications unless I can get in touch with Madeline his scheduler.

I can't say enough about Dr. Clohisy and his staff! They all worked together to make my hip replacement experience as positive as possible. They gave me a lot of information, tracked down records of a previous hospitalization to be sure they knew my history, answered questions, and kept track of my progress after I came home from the hospital. Dr. Clohisy is tops in hip surgery, and I felt very confident and grateful to have him as my doctor.

Dr. Clohisy replaced my hip in 2009 and the results were excellent. I have never had any problems concerning the implant and my recovery was very swift. Unfortunately, my other hip needs to replaced now and I am scheduling the surgery this year. I just wish I had called sooner since there is a 3 month wait before I can even consult with him. I would prefer to suffer with the pain until the surgery just so I can have him do the surgery again. I wouldn't trust anyone else.
