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.

Constantly recommending him.
He goes way beyond the norm by truly listening and caring about his patients. He is extremely knowledgeable and competent

Dr Ketchum made me feel at ease talking to him, good bedside manner. I could tell he was a caring doctor listening to my problem and acted as though I was the only patient he had. Dr Ketchum was able to help my problem and I was able to get some much needed sleep. Dr Ketchum and staff were very friendly.

Excellent Care
Dr. Ketchum was caring and knowledgeable about my injury. He consulted with a fellow physician at Andrews Sports Medicine about the treatment path before moving forward. I feel I received excellent care. The nursing and xray staff was also caring.

Outstanding
Dr. Ketchum has been one of a kind helping me the last two years with my knee. He is caring and always knows what he is talking about. Before 2 minutes of evaluating my knee he had a plan and sat and talked with me as a doctor in a friendly way to understanding. as always great care from Dr. Ketchum.

Honest, knowledgeable care
Dr. Ketchum knew exactly what was wrong with my shoulder within minutes of seeing me. He did not require any unnecessary test to confirm what he knew from his experience, which spoke volumes to the type of person he is. I was very pleased with my visit. I had X-rays and was in a room before my appointment time. Would recommend Dr. Ketchum to all friends and family.

Confident Compassionate Care
I was seen quickly, didn’t even have time to read my book. The X-ray tech immediately put me at ease. Dr Ketchum came in soon after and was a pleasant mixture of confidence and compassion as he confirmed I understood the diagnosis and treatment plan. He ordered an MRI I was able to receive the same day and personally called me the next day with the results. I’m definitely pleased with my care and have already recommended Dr Ketchum to family and friends.
