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.

Far too long in waiting room; 2 hours+ on both initial and follow-up visits. Part of the extensive wait was actually in the examination room which had limited internet and cell connection so just staring at the walls. First visit with Dr. Purne was decent with a pretty good explanation of knee pain. Appointment following MRI results was not so good. Very limited time spent discussing options (surgical or otherwise), did not seem to remember who I was based on original visit, and no follow up.
