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 Doc!!!
Dr. G is awesome! I have seen him for close to 10 years. He has performed 2 surgeries on me (bicep tendon repair) and (rotator cuff) repair (results very successful). He does a great job at explaining what he will do and what to expect. During office visits, he never rushes and always has time for questions. I would highly recommend Dr. G for your orthopedic needs!

Always listens to his patients
Dr. Gullickson always listens to me when I'm telling him what is going on even when the underlying issue may be something else. He makes me feel like he cares about how I am feeling and wants to help me get better.

My husband had visited him prior to my visit a couple of years ago and remarked how much he liked him. He was courteous, kind, understanding, and made me feel comfortable with my questions and concern. I was able to get some relief! Thank you Dr. G for a great visit.

This was my third total joint replacement (second knee). Matthew Gullickson did all three. Fantastic work! After two weeks, I'm walking without any assistance. He is the best!

Dr. Gullikson did a total knee replacement on my knee in February 2019. He just did my other knee, May 25, 2021. I could not be happier, with Dr. Gullikson, his nurse, the receptionist, physical therapy, and Ortho Carolina in general. I have nothing but positive to say about them. I did not have a single bad experience. No experience with the first knee was so good I couldn’t wait to get the second one done. I am thrilled with the progress that I am making. I feel like a new person. Grateful thank you! to Dr. Gullikson, All the support staff, and Ortho Carolina.
