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.

Fab surgeon. Explains everything and actually has a sense of humor. Fix my knee up twice. He team is second to none. I will travel to Baraboo to see him when I get my hip done in a few years (yep apparently that is all messed up). He did the knees of a family member and my boyfriend's hip. See him and ONLY him at Dean. There is NO substitute. My family has tried others Glad has better outcomes.
