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.

I would not recommend this doctor
I had my surgery with Ray and my surgery has been failing since day one. I am in big trouble since he destroyed enough of my bone and tissue with the initial surgery which makes my next surgery to fix the problems pretty well impossible. He needs to find a different field of work. He was fired by the head of monument health due to repeated failed surgeries.

I had a compound fracture and was very worried about getting back to my very big and wonderful life! Dr. Jensen fixed the break beautifully. He and his team did a wonderful job of encouraging and motivating me towards my goals. Very grateful for his expertise and the all around care. You will find me hiking the hills very soon!!

I liked the step approach to assessment of the potential issue and the least invasive treatment approach.

Personable and Knowledgeable
Upon meeting Dr. Jensen the first time, he was very personable. He genuinely cared about my injury and could explain the problem and how it could be resolved. He also did my surgery and visited me before hand and at the follow-up appointment he was also very friendly and explained how the surgery went and was thorough on my recovery care.

Truly a doctor who communicates clear messaging
Being somewhat reluctant about moving forward with a surgery that is going to be needed, I felt that Dr. Jensen genuinely cared about our concerns and thoroughly answered our questions. He was willing to take the time needed to listen to our concerns and questions. So far from our initial meetings the team that we have worked with have all been fantastic. I am certainly not looking forward to having another surgery but, I do feel comfortable and confident that I am in good hands.

We have been very impressed with Dr. Jensen's caring attitude. He truly wants to help and explains very well the process to help you heal. My husband had shoulder surgery and I appreciated the time Dr. Jensen took with me to explain how he helped my husband and how I could support his recovery. I'm happy to say my husband is feeling great and Dr. Jensen truly helped fix his shoulder problems. I would gladly recommend him to anyone!
