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.

Awesome!
We love Signature Orthopedics! Dr. Medler made my daughter feel comfortable and confident! The whole team is awesome.

Great doctor
Dr. Medler talks to my son (patient) like an adult and talks to him at his level about his treatment plan. He doesn’t sugar coat anything and gets right to the point.

Best orthopedic doctor
We called in the morning and got a same day appointment with Dr. Medler. He was friendly, personable and very thorough. He is caring and compassionate, taking time to develop the best course of treatment for us. We have been going to him for years and highly recommend him.

Pronation in 12 yr old
Took my 12 year old son for pronation and pain in the left foot while walking. Disappointed in sending us to a shoe store instead of investing the time and resources for proper orthotics.

Smashed thumb
Dr Meddler is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He understands how to work with teens who are bummed because they are missing out in sports. We have seen him several times over the years for various sports injuries and have been very satisfied every time.

Dr. Medler has a wonderful bedside manor and immediately put us at ease. He spoke directly to my 12 year old son about his break and took the time to explain what the care would be and why. I highly recommend.

This is truly a caring professional Doctor. He has a wonderful personality and is delightful with kids be they 3 years old or 23 years old. He diagnoses quickly and describes a path to healing in a completely understandable way. I strongly recommend him. He has all the qualities needed to make a great doc.

We made an appointment for our child to see Dr. Medler as a follow-up to an urgent care visit because our child continued having pain and nerve issues. Although we made an appointment with Dr. Medler and were told at check in that we were seeing Dr. Medler, my son was only seen by a nurse practitioner. The nurse practitioner was very nice but minimal time was spent and no answers were given. I left there feeling as though we were seen as a nuisance/not worth the doctor’s time. We have seen other doctors at Signature in the past (for other injuries) and have not had this experience before. I am not sure we will be back.
