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.

Great job on knee replacement
Dr render was amazing from my initial appointment to my knee replacement. Very nice and professional and after three days my pain level is already better than pre-surgery. I would for sure recommend him with any type of orthopedic surgery. I really liked his taste of music when I entered the operation room. Can’t wait to fully recover. Dr Render gave me my quality of life back. Thanks so much. Mike Mefford.

Dr Render had zero compassion for my pain levels. I was recommended by my family doctor and from the first visit I had bad pain in my hip area. He ordered an MRI of my hip area. Nothing was found but I had to goto the emergency room in Bay City because I couldn’t walk anymore. They gave me a shot and a muscle relaxer which for the first time in 3 weeks gave me relief for about 1 hour. Through all of this his office knew that my blood pressure was through the roof because of my pain. His staff is really friendly and nice to work with. He then ordered another MRI of my lower back and found that for the last 3 months I’ve had a ruptured disc. Only pain relief he offered was a steroid shot. His staff called me and said that he won’t see me anymore because he doesn’t do spinal surgery. I might be out of place but I shouldn’t have suffered for 3 months with no compassion from Mr.Render. My experience with him was horrible and I won’t be referring to any family or friends to him ever. Thanks

I have not seen him yet, but I look forward to doing so. He is highly recommended by a friend of mine who has had the type of hand surgery that I am seeking. I also noticed a review that addressed exactly what I need and it was very positive.

Awesome Doctor. Did carpal tunnel release on both hands on different dates. I did not need any pain medication either time. I am very impressed with his surgical technique and will continue with him.

Dr. Render took care of my knee issues with surgery. I went out fish 2 day's later, he didn't recommend it, but I felt great. Listened to my issues and explained the procedure in a way I could understand it. I'd recommend him to everyone.

One of the best Doctors I've had to treat my medical condition. Very ambitious and committed to patient satisfaction. He has not let me, nor my expectations down. The procedures he's performed have been done with great care and my interest in mind. Dr. Render has done a great job at diagnosing, explaining and treating my medical condition. I was skeptical because he appears so young, but this has proved to be a positive tribute to him as he is very ambitious and has a drive to succeed with care.
