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.

Absolute Best!
I can't say enough about Dr. Pugh. He replaced both my hips and I went from barely being able to do anything, hardly walking on a cane or a walker to walking all on my own and doing activities I hadn't done in years. His knowledge is endless. He's straight forward and answers any question you have while having the best bedside manner I've ever experienced from a doctor. I recommend Dr Pugh to anyone that needs orthopedic care. He's the absolute best! One of the best decisions I ever made was to go see him and I'm thankful every day of my life for what he did for me. He's just all around good!

Very excellent surgeon and had 2 other surgeons who wanted me to wait til I was 50 years old before they were going to do surgery and Dr.Pugh looked at my MRI and seen it was already bone to bone and said can I ask 1 question and I said sure and he said why in Gods name didn't they already do surgery and I told him what they said and he said nope you need it ASAP. And he showed and explained to me everything he was going to do and haven't had any problems since, went home next morning

Dr Pugh performed a second total knee replacement on my other knee 4 weeks after the first one. Again, he was exceptional as a surgeon, and as the doctor I personally chose for both of my total knee replacements. I had, and still have, complete trust in Dr Pugh.
