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.

The doc has replaced both of my hips over time. I would highly recommend him if you're experiencing any orthopedic problems.

Office Staff
I have no problem with Dr drinhaus. I had knee revision surgery Aug 2021. Office made it very difficult to get a handicap parking form signed. Here we go again Left knee replaced 11-1-22. To save time I called Friday the 4th to get form signed. Said it would be ready the 7th. Called today had no record. Went down in person to wait for someone to sign form. They said maybe by evening. I said I’ll give you 5 minutes to get it done or I’ll come in every 5 minutes. Finally signed formed with incorrect information and 2 week out parking permit. Can’t drive for 6 to 10 weeks so what good is that. I request a completed corrected form from Dr Drinhaus that gives a normal time frame for handicap parking. How about changing protocol to ask patients ahead of time if they need parking permit. Office acted like they had to protect given out forms. Yes I was upset in office because no one could make a simple decision. I went to and from parking 3 times because of their incompetence.

Dr Drinhaus did my right hip replacement and couldn't ask for a more caring doctor. He listens to me and takes time making sure Iam doing ok. The removal of the stitches was not as painful as I would have thought, the nurse said it is because of the particular stitch . Cant wait to get done with all the PT and hopefully be able to take walks again. :}. The staff have been awesome ALL of them. Thank you Dr Drinhaus and your staff. God Bless you all.

DR. Drinhaus replaced my left hip. He used the most up to date procedure, one that most Physicans aren't even aware of, The Super Pathway. After a Total hip replacement and thirty days later I feel like Twenty and have only a small 5inch Scar. You will not find a better Hip Surgeon, Period.

I did not have a great experience with Dr. Drinhaus. My visit was a complete waste of time. He did not seem to care about the pain I was in. He did not ask any questions regarding to what was going on. I have had some elbow pain since November, and it has only continued to get worse. He did not ask me how it was and I could barely get two words out before being interrupted. He did not look at my MRI while I was in the room and was in the room a total of 2 minutes with him before he left.

The office manager is rude, condescending and has no compassion. I was told by the office manager that Dr. Drinhaus and she, felt I was not worth the risk of not getting paid. I was told the day before the pre op that I needed to have all the money for my deductible upfront. No payment options at all. All of it or no surgery. It doesn't matter how much pain I'm in. Evidently money is all that matters to them. They wouldn't take 1/2 before the surgery and the remaining balance in 30 days.

Dr. Drinhaus is a exceptional Orthopedic surgeon. I had a serious injury to my right wrist which required a metal plate. He took the time to talk to me about what to expect going into surgery and after. I didn't feel like he was hurried in any way. He did a fantastic Job!! I would recommend him to the highest among surgeons. Thank You Dr. Drinhaus for helping me to get better.

I had hip replacement surgery, minimally invasive. Turned out well. Doctor Drinhaus is very nice, very professional, and I would trust him again if surgery is needed.

Wow, this office sucks! The phone lady Allie is totally rude and incompetent. The surgery scheduler Cindy is also very rude and unorganized. Dr Drinhaus's diagnosis was wrong 2 times, and thankfully the surgery they scheduled for my husband was cancelled by their office because they decided to give his appointment away to someone else, and then try to be rude about it. Thankfully that got us to see another doctor and get a second opinion, and then a third to confirm results, to find out in the

Dr. Drinhaus performed Superpath minimally invasive hip replacement surgery on me this past September. It has been about three months now and I can finally walk unaided after 2 years of excruciating pain. He answered all my questions, went over all the options, very professional, totally restored my confidence in surgery, can't thank him enough
