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.

Terrible, after several real visits after he performed surgery on my knee, 3 months later I am still in pain. He said I should get another opinion. He didn't address my terrible pain. He should have retired years ago. The worst bed side manners I have ever experienced. He only talks about himself, so self centered and rude. He should not practice and call himself a doctor.

I had a 3pm appt and was not called in until 430. when setting my appointment I asked if there was anyway possible to have a later in the day appointment and was told no.... So i did not appreciate the 90min wait. Would have been nice if it was mentioned he was running so far behind at check in at least. I found the dr himself rude, judgemental and condescending. I have already scheduled another appointment with a different orthopedic doctor.

I would not recommend him to anyone!!! I gave one star for the nurse because she was being more professional and caring.. he was very very very rude and sarcastic!!! I told him I was in pain he totally ignored me did not address my pain. He told me is office is only for real sick peoples and walked out.. I left his office in tears call the nurse told her what happened tell her mail my paper work to me because I will not be coming back.. this Doctor should not be allowed to treat people..

I have 2 kinds of cancer that prevented my broken arm from healing. This doctor had me come for xrays every 2 weeks for a year and a half knowing that the cancer was preventing the healing and not sending me to some doctor who could help and having me see his assistant who is not a doctor. THIS MAN SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING MEDICINE !

I waited @45min. To get into see him. The took X-rays prior to seeing him which was fine with me. When I finally got to see the doctor he very quickly examined me and then told me what he though it was. Previous doctors had said something else was the problem he said they were all lies. I wanted to say even the other doctors in your office but he left the room so quickly that didn't have a chance. He didn't even bother to address my pain. I think it's time to retire. He just didn't care.
