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 Honkamp was very professional, caring and attentive concerning my shoulder replacement.

One of the best in the business
The ease of communicating with Dr Honkamp makes every appoinment worthwhile. All my questions are answered. What I can expect going forward, for me personally, & not a cookie-cutter medical response. Great surgeon for the mess of my shoulder.

I have visited Dr. Nicholas Honkamp office few days ago. He did assessment on my knee and requested MRI. I know that he will fix my knee. He is the best surgent to see if you have a knee problem. I had a big knee problem before, and Dr. Nicholas Honkamp saved my knee. Roman Olearnik.

After 2 knee replacements and a shoulder repair as well as the fact that I am a medical professional myself, I can say with authority that Dr. Honkamp is the rare combination of skilled surgeon, truly caring doctor and builder of a team of like-minded staff that treat you as a valued guest. Treatment is tailored to your condition and your individual lifestyle and needs. Every medical visit should be this good…just…WOW!
