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.

Doctor is straightforward and tells you what you need to know and why you need to know. Awesome trait in a doctor!

Dr. Kristoferson took time to answer my questions and explain the probable issue. He wanted to use available diagnostic tools, MRI, to further understand the issue before finalizing treatment recommendation. I agreed with this.

Dr. Kristoferson took a cyst off of my wrist. I appreciated how he explained the procedure before the surgery. He is a great doctor. My family have gone to him for several years. I recommend Dr. Kristoferson because he is an excellent doctor. The people that work in his office are wonderful!

Just recently had my right meniscus laparascopicly repaired by Dr Kristoferson. Very thorough with explanations of what was wrong, how best to fix it, went step by step before surgery, right after surgery, showed pictures of repair work upon stitch removal. He is very friendly and kind. You will feel confident under his care. He has a great staff too. Eventually I will need knee replacement surgery. I would definitely choose Dr Kristoferson.
