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.

Quick and Excellent Care
I arrived very early for my appointment due to my husband and I sharing one car for the day. I expected a long wait but was pleasantly surprised to be taken in and seen within 5 minutes of my arrival. Dr Luster took great care of me and today I am 95% pain-free due to the treatment I received yesterday. I'm very happy with this practice. I've used them before and will continue to use them when needed. Quick diagnosis, showed me my X-ray so I could understand the condition. Gave me excellent care and relieved my pain.

I had an appointment for a second opinion on my left shoulder which had suffered a dislocation while playing tennis in February 2020. I am writing this on June19, 2020 when I still have pain. Following an x-ray, Dr Luster discovered that I had a fracture to my elbow, which had not been discovered by my former physician.
