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.

Dr. Molly Tatum refused to test me for compartment syndrome after being referred to her by a physician. After being dismissed, I underwent an unnecessary surgery and months of PT just to be transferred to OSU and be diagnosed with compartment syndrome. Because of her negligence , it has become more extreme and my success rate is severely tarnished.

3-months ago I tore a ligament from my bone while weightlifting. This was a big scary event for me at that time with infinite unknowns. I met and discussed what must happen with an ER doctor says i need to pick a surgeon. Several friends recommended O.I.D. The next morning Dr.Molly Tatum saw me quickly and was a calm voice of explanation on what surgery can do for my injury. She seemed enthusiastic to be my surgeon and urged that we quickly get scheduled so not much time passes. Fortunately we were able to get an MRI done the same day in the Tipp City facility. I find Dr.Tatum easy to talk to and I really like her energy level. She had time to hear my numerous questions about the healing process and how to care for my arm. So many things went well with my arm and i am very thankful. I found it a motivator to do all the therapy work i could and try to progress as much as possible before the next appointment. If you need an orthopedic surgeon you would be lucky to be in her care - GREAT.
