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.

Great treatment, quick but not rushed. Time was taken to explain the assessment to me, and walk me through the sequence of planned treatment steps.

Young Brilliant Thorough
Dr. Birns was awesome sauce. I went in KNOWING my foot and-or ankle was broke. Nope, just a sprain. He knew that my healing process would be a bit different, cause of my daily meds. Dr. Birns was so informative, he left me with NO questions. He did not rush and his bedside manners are unmatched. He has a patient for life and I'm referring my entire family.

I saw Dr Birns for pain on theta of my left foot. He looked at my x-rays and examined my foot and told me what was wrong. I felt very comfortable and relaxed, all of my questions we answered. Dr Birns explained what I needed to do and asked that I call the office if the pain is not resolved. Always smiling and pleasant, it was a great experience.

Dr Birns performed a lateral release on my left knee. He was very attentive to my many questions. He took a team approach to my care as and understood that I know my body better than anyone. His laid back pragmatic style was refreshing. Note: I try to take the early morning appointments as the wait time often times would be long as the day progressed.
