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.

One Of The Best In OC
Fantastic, skilled orthopedic surgeon. I had left side, full hip replacement surgery. My left leg was an inch shorter than my right leg due to a birth defect. Dr. Pyrko was able to lengthen my left leg to match my right leg. No more back pain, neck pain, leg pain or foot pain. Thank you, Dr. Pyrko!

My Chosen Orthopedic Surgeon
I’ve been so lucky to have Dr. Pyrko as my Orthopedic surgeon. I had a left total knee replacement almost 3 months ago. It’s healing well as expected. He will be doing a surgery on my right knee in a month and half. I have so much respect and trust with him.

Dr. Pyrko excellence and commitment
Dr. Pyko and staff provided top tier medicak services and support. I will probably return should I need surgery on my other knee. I'm from Texas but the service provided will be worth the effort!

Knee Revision Consultation
A lot of doctors and office staff today treat patients like they are a number and not a person. My visit with Dr. Pyrko was a pleasant surprise quite the opposite. The staff was very friendly and efficient and the doctor was very professional and approachable. He took time to explain all the options and realistic outcomes for my situation as well as patiently thoroughly answering all my questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend this physician for anyone seeking orthopaedic consultation and treatment.

Excellent ortho surgeon
I have seen Dr. Pyrko for about 18 months. I had a total hip replacement nearly 5 months ago. I have been pleased with Dr. Pyrko's care throughout, and the outcome of the surgery is very good. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs ortho care.

Hip replacement
I arrived 15 minutes early as I know there is paperwork involved. Before I can finish, I was asked to come into the X-ray room. From there it was non stop visits from Dr. Pyrko & the staff. They scheduled surgery & pre-ops. I got written instructions prior to surgery & post op. Extremely organized & through. You can tell they know their profession. Thank you, Dr. & Staff!

National Doctor's Day
I just wanted to say how grateful I am for having had Dr. Peter Pyrko as my surgeon who did my total knee replacement. He was so kind and gave me great confidence that I was in great hands. It's been a year and I'm doing very well. He recently helped me understand an issue I had with my leg that turned out to be minor. I was so glad he could help me through what I thought might be serious. I would recommend Dr. Pyrko to anyone in need of the same surgery I had, total knee replacement, as you will not be disappointed in the outcome. He's a blessing and I am so glad he was there to help me. D. Zonni

Great compassionate and very knowledgeable Doctor
I saw Dr. Pryko for hip pain and he assured me no surgery needed only therapy and stretching. He showed me my X-ray (they take them right in their office) and where my pain is coming from. I would see him again for sure as he was so professional and very nice. Go see him, he is great. Also the staff are great, efficient and the office runs very smooth. I was very pleased with everything about this office. So pleased they gave me Dr. Pryko. Thank you Dr. Pryko. Thank you to all the staff I worked with. See you next time. Ann

Dr Pyrko did an excellent job on my knee replacement. I wish I should have done the surgery a while ago because I am 100% satisfied with my results. It has been six months since the surgery and before the surgery I doubted I would feel this great. Yes Dr. Pyrko did the surgery but he also provided everything I needed to do before surgery and after. So I did a lot on my part too as far as preparing for the surgery and being diligent with the physical therapy that has to be done right after surgery. Now on to the other knee. Thank you Dr. Pyrko!

This is a second review on Dr Pyrko as I now have had the hip replacement he recommended. Amazing is best I can say, OC Memorial surgical center made me feel like I was in hands of angels. A month later and I am walking so much better and no pain.

Dr. Pyrko was very personable, kind and ready to help. His staff is so very nice. Although knee replacement is a major decision his confidence that it needed to be done made it easier. Very kind and warm doctor. Would definitely recommend his expertise, and care. Many thanks for soon having my abilities back.
