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.

THE BEST!!!
Dr. Skelley did a hip arthroscopy on my daughter. Several other surgeons told us it was too complex and they did not feel comfortable doing that surgery. We eventually found Dr. Skelley. He was not in our insurance network but we were so glad we did the surgery with him. He got us in very fast and was very realistic and honest about the expectations of surgery. She had virtually no pain after the first few days and she’s back doing soccer, weight lifting, and all of the activities she wants to do. She’s attending the University of South Dakota next year and is excited he is her team doc. We’re very thankful he is in South Dakota.

I have seen Dr. Skelley for a few different injuries, and I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. He was very caring and very thorough. He didn't make me feel like I was wasting his time and didn't just try to mask my pain with medication like I have experienced in the past with doctors. I'm very thankful to have him as a doctor to help me get back into shape so I can keep working towards my health and fitness goals. I will always be grateful to him!

Dr. Skelley took excellent care of me during both my shoulder and knee injuries. I could not ask for more in a physician. He is very professional, compassionate, and takes the time to explain everything. He taught me all about my injury and how "we" were going to make it better. He really engages you in the treatment making process. I am thankful for everything he has done for me.

My father has a total hip replacement. He was visiting St. Louis and when picking up his grandson the hip came out of the socket. We were taken to Barnes in the middle of the night in a panic over his intense pain. I've never see my father cry. Dr. Skelley explained how he was going to put the hip in and did it perfectly. He was extremely professional and put us all at ease. After the hip was back in my father cried with tears of joy! More than a year later, and we still talk about that night.
