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.

Arrogant!
Dr. Pinkos is the most arrogant doctor I have ever been to. He didn't listen to patient and made up things that patient says. He didn't allow patient to explain their pain as if he were in a hurry and didn't want to hear it. He acted as if he didn't want to hear any questions. Patient left with more questions than answers with absolutely no help from this doctor. His rating for this would be no stars but that is not an option.

Osteoarthritis bilateral knees, left shoulderl
Dr. Pinkos is very keen and remembered who I was from my previous visits in March (initial visit for osteoarthritis of bilateral knees) and June (injection for right knee pain which is bone on bone with flare up). Now in to see him for osteoarthritis of left shoulder, calcification of left shoulder and tendinitis of the left rotator cuff. He explained that he does not perform surgery on the shoulder but got me set up for an injection by imagining guidance and an MRI referral. He also explained to me with whom in the practice to follow up with once the MRI was complete. I have been able to schedule same day appointments during emergent issues. I have even been fortunate enough to utilize your urgent care services on a Saturday when I was in so much pain that I could not walk. The staff have always been polite and courteous and I have always been seen in a timely manner. Thank you for all that you do.

It’s been awhile since I had been to the doctor, so I was a bit nervous. Dr. Pinkos put me at ease with his professionalism and friendly disposition. After thoroughly examining my injury and drawing a medical conclusion he answered all my questions and made me feel confident about my recovery. Dr. Pinkos nurse and staff were also very professional and friendly making me feel safe and welcomed.

Outstanding Care!
I met with Dr. Pinkos to discuss my knee that I had injured back in December. It had been improving, but still giving me issues during physical activity at times. Dr. Pinkos listened to my concerns, explained in detail my condition, and called me in an anti-inflammatory topical cream, which has been very helpful. He also reassured me that physical activity was alright to continue, as long as I didn’t have sharp pain, which was something I had been wondering about. He and the nurse I saw were both wonderful, as was the X-ray tech. Dr. Pinkos gave me additional educational information to take home as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking orthopedic care. Thank you Dr. Pinkos!!
