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.

Awesome Surgeon Doctor
This doctors knowledge and how he helped me by removing the cancer in my femur bone was incredible. I might have a long replacement inside my leg now but l still have the leg thanks to him and the cancer is gone.He’s an awesome doctor and always listens to all my worries.

Full hip replacement
Doctor Balsamo is patient and kind. This is my 10 day follow up from a left hip replacement. This is my second hip replacement with him. He is willing to spend the time explaining the process. Also, I know from talking with the surgical staff he spends extra time in the operating room, making sure everything is perfect! I enjoyed hearing their raving reviews about him while I waited to go into the OR. I think that says a lot about a surgeon and a person.

All my respect.
Dr. Balsamo has all my respect. He knows what he's doing, gets to the point, but is also gentle. He's always on time in my experience. He's not there to waste time and collect bank. He's there to be a doctor, and he's one of the best there is. This review is for him only and not the facility or anyone else.

Doctor Luke Balsami
First of all, even though I am a woman, the friendly warm handshake gets me. Actually makes me feel I'm in the right place. Don't get me wrong, I've been with Dr Balsamo for as long as I can remember. He's done more than 10 surgeries on my knee and always gave me that confidence I needed . His nurse is also the best. My visit was pleasant and fulfilling to my expectations.
