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 have not visit him yet but plan to.

My husband recently visited as a new patient. I was pleased that there was not a long wait. The doctor was quite thorough with his exam and seemed to really take a full picture of my husband's condition. I appreciated the long time Dr. Oni spent with us and that he ordered further testing to help diagnose and treat the condition accordingly. Staff was polite.

Dr. Oni IS THE ONLY DOCTOR, who I have been too and I have been to many specialists; he not only reads your MRIs and discusses and shows you what he sees: but he IS THE ONLY DOCTOR who has EVER READ MY COMPLEX MEDICAL HISTORY. His concern is so heartwarming and he even asks you questions about how things happened to you.........no other doctor has taken the time to do that with me. I highly recommend Dr. Oni to anyone with ortho problems. As far as wait time, it does vary. That being due t

This man had permanently disabled my son with poorly done surgeries and horrible after care. He landed in long term care for an infection after a THIRD surgery. Worst Dr. I've ever dealt with.

Long wait times. The woman at the front office has a very nasty disposition. The office and rooms need cleaning. The floor is nasty with hair and debri. The doctor has poor bedside manner. He is unprofessional and has a lack of good character and poor judgement. He missed diagnosised me and begin to guess wanting to do more and jurgery and operations only to cause more pain and problems.
