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.

Dr. Head communicated in layman's terms and was very open to questions. A very patient, kind physician. I would recommend him to anyone seeking an orthopedist.

Great Doctor
I wish he would have done the surgery on my hip. I would recommend that anyone that needs surgery on a hip or femur bone he is the Doctor of my choice. I will be back to see him

Fantastic Doctor
He was very professional, took plenty of time to fully explain my injury and gave several viable options for care. He started the appointment on time and the staff seemed efficient and never rushed.

Amazing!
I so appreciate Dr. Head. He's my husband's doctor for guided hip injection. He worked me in to his schedule today. I thought I had an ankle sprain, turns out, fractured heel. His kindness, empathy, and compassion meant so very much!

Good listener...
Dr. Head was very interested in finding a resolution for my issue. He listened to all my concerns and answered all of my questions. He discussed a few options with me and we were able to find one that worked for me. He talk to me and not at me and made sure that we were on the same page regarding my treatment. It was a very pleasant experience!!

He never rushes you, takes his time to listen to your concerns and answer all the questions you have. I would recommend him highly to anyone who has bad hip problems.

Amazing Physical that Cares
I had gone to another orthopedic to start with. He didn't explain anything. Basically gave me a diagnosis and told me to lose weight before he'd even consider surgery. I left in tears. Dr. Head was recommended by a family member.so when it was time for my follow up, I scheduled an appointment with Dr Head. Oh what a difference. Dr head went into detail everything on the X-rays and only made the comment for every pound list is like 5 pounds of pressure off my knees. I was so very pleased with Dr Head. I felt he really cared and made sure all my questions and concerns were answered. I left very happy, knowing when it's time to go back, he's there to move on to the next phase, if necessary.
