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.

The Best Orthopedic surgeon
My left knee was bone on bone for years. After returning from a trip to Australia, I had a difficult time walking, Dr Gustke said it was time to replace it. It went smoothly. He used a different procedure in replacing it, by not applying any epoxy to glue it together . It was a little longer rehab, but that was 25 years ago this month. I had my right knee replaced three years later. I’m a big guy and play golf three times a week. No problems in all those years, says a lot for expertise of Dr Gustke. Incredible orthopedic surgeon. I have spoken his praises to friends all over the country.

There is no one else like Dr. GUSTKE
Dr. Gustke did a total knee revision 27 years ago. I just now have had some aching, tenderness in that knee. I had an appointment today. All is well, even after 27 years. I can't believe it. He did an excellent job he did with my knee. I am so sorry to hear he is retiring, but, he deserves it. He is awesome. I will surely miss his medical care he rendered to me. Thank you Dr. Gustke for everything.

Searching a top hip doctor
He asked a lot of good questions, listened to me and explained the steps going forward. An MRI is needed for a final diagnosis and then I’ll have another appointment to make decisions!

Dr. Gustke and Susie Heinrich, PA are the real deal. I had a knee replacement and after 5 weeks the scar is barely visible. If you follow their protocol one is up and mobile in no time. No stay in the hospital. Appts. are low wait time and always informative. Preop was easy and material easy to understand. I’m loving everything about the process and my new knee. Thank Dr. Gustke and Susie!
