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.

Thanks Dr. Smith
Dr. Smith is a good read of people. Knew my limitations and kept me informed through the whole process.

Dr. Ryan Smith is a wonderful caring doctor.
This wonderful doctor gave me my active life back. I had two total hip replacements 2 years a part. Was walking with a walker and 2 weeks after surgery began walking without any help. Will be going in March of 2025 for a left total knee replacement. I can not thank this man enough for what he did for me. .

Undecided, it was just a review. Don't know him
None at this time, but grateful he wrote me a script for a special made shoe so I can walk properly. Not due to any fault of mine.
