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.

Professional and Knowledgeable
Dr. Stayner has incredible bedside manner. He listens, does a thorough assessment and discusses all treatment options with you. He is very kind and straightforward as well - if something is going to require surgery, he doesn't waste anytime and discusses the procedure in great detail.

Dr. Stayner
I needed shoulder surgery, and after a little research, Dr. Stayner's name was always at the top of the list. I should preface this by saying I have 40 years of healthcare experience, and am extremely critical about the care I receive. I drove 2 hours one way for my appointments and surgery. It was worth it! I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome. Dr. Stayner and his staff are wonderful, kind, caring, understanding with a little humor mixed in. The follow-up care directly after surgery was the best -- with a phone call by Dr. Stayner on a Saturday to see how I was doing. If I or any family member needs orthopedic services, I would not let them go to anyone but Dr. Stayner. Seriously. He's that good.

Amazing doctor I have been seeing him for
I have been seeing him for over 30 years. He is absolutely amazing and he’s a very good doctor.. He also is one of the most friendly doctors I’ve ever met in my life. He just makes the atmosphere better. I would recommend him any time.

Dr. Stayner is gentle with his examinations, and concerned about my shoulder. He is trying to get to the bottom of my shoulder pain and trying to avoid any more surgery with cortisone shots, trying to see if that will solve the problem before ordering an MRI. I feel comfortable with his decision.

I will write teview when i can iisr my arm
Very pleased with whole process . Please send link when ican use my arm and hand. Dr Stayner had a great bedside manner. Was as gentle as could be considering my total shoulder replacement. He was recommended by a physical whose husband was seen-by him. Their glowing recommendation was paramount and i agree.

Shoulder fixed!!
Dr Stayner did a great job fixing my rotator cuff. Too many years of shoulder pain are now a distant memory. Things like splitting firewood or casting a fly are a pleasure again. Sometimes I really can’t believe the difference. Thank you to Dr Stayner and your team for everything so far - knees are next!!
