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.

No one paid attention to the referral
I called to make sure the office received the referral my doctor had sent them along with the scan of my shoulder--torn tendon, quite painful. I called the office three times over a period of 3 to 4 months. All they would say is the Dr. Fow needs to review the referral. I was never contacted.

I needed shoulder surgery and was terrified to have it, so I waited until I couldn't hardly move my arm. Dr. Fow assured me that I would have physical therapy immediately and that I would be fine. I had to trust him since I had to have the surgery. Well! my surgery was a piece of cake I can't believe how I suffered because I was afraid. Dr. Fow is a great surgeon and a kind and caring person. I have recommended him to many of my friends and family in the area.

Dr. Fow is a fabulous human being. My mom, who is deaf and has dymentia, is cared for by Dr. Fow. He is patient and communicates effectively with her about her broken bones.

I fell, broke my hip and was rushed to French. Dr. Fow performed emergency surgery and did a genius job! I was up and walking in no time. He also is very kind and considerate. I asked him for a minimum of pain medication, so he gave me 1/4 the usual amount for hip patients, which was perfect. He checks me once a year now. I highly recommend Dr. Fow!
