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.

Knee replacement
Dr Cherry did a very thorough evaluation and we decided that replacement was the best course for me. From start to finish, I could not be happier with the result! He answered all of my questions along the way quickly and precisely. His technique of not using a tourniquet is far superior from a healing standpoint. 7 weeks post surgery, done with PT and back to almost normal function. Bravo Doc!!!!

Hip pain
Dr. Cherry’s analysis was both thorough and informative. His use of X-rays and diagrams focused on the source of my pain and how best to alleviate it. Ultimately, surgery seemed like the best option for acquiring longterm pain relief. I very much appreciated that he explained my options so that I could make an informed decision for what was best for me.

Hip Replacements
I came to Dr Cherry needing 3 replacement surgeries, both hips and a knee. I set out on an aggressive plan to have all 3 surgeries completed within 4 months. I currently have had both hips replaced and will be having my knee surgery in 2 weeks. My hip replacements both went very well and I returned to work 3 weeks from my date of surgery on each. I highly recommend Dr. Cherry and have done so with friends and family

Hip pain and replacement
Dr Cherry replaced my left hip and it’s perfect. He explains everything and cares about his patients. Now my right hip is bad. I am having it replaced in November. I have a lot of confidence in Dr Cherry. Him and his nurse Michelle made the whole experience very smooth and a positive outcome. Highly recommend!!

He is easy to understand, explains in detail.
Takes alot of unrushed time to explain any upcoming procedures. He even mentioned getting a second opinion for my comfort. Never had heard that from any physician! Of course I did not as I trust him and his outstanding record! Nurses are awesome!Completely trust him and you will too.

Dr. Cherry listens to all my concerns. I got my 1st knee done in July and my 2nd knee in October. I walk a lot better than I did before. When it's cold outside they do ache (to be expected) but other than that they feel good. I can do so much more than before. I would recommend Dr. Cherry to everyone. He's very knowledgeable and will lead you in the right direction. He's also truthful and reliable.

I have been seeing Dr. Cherry for years and he has always taken his time with me and makes you feel that you matter. It is about an hour drive to his office from where I live but well worth the time for the excellent care that you receive.
