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.

Dr. Chambers was excellent.
Dr. Chambers perfectly diagnosed my issue within minutes. Although there was nothing medically he could do for me, he was able to explain what I required. He is going to refer me to another physician that deals with my issue. It was handled very well.

Knowledgeable, professional & courteous
What a pleasure to deal with such a knowledgeable professional. Dr Chambers would listen to my questions and concerns. He answered them clearly. He always physically checked my progress by performing simple evaluative tests. I felt confident in my treatment plan. I've had great success with my rotator cuff repair. So grateful for him and his staff.

I have had extensive experience with Orthopedic Surgeons, and Doctor Chambers is the best!! I have dealt with constant pain due to a failed rotator cuff surgery for the past 3 years, and Doctor Chambers relieved this with his experience and excellent surgical skills. Don’t get me wrong-the first week post op was not a “cake walk”, but I am finally free of the constant pain. I couldn’t be happier!! Thank you for the opportunity to lead an active and fulfilling life again.

Doesn't do peer-to-peer reviews
I went to see Dr. Chambers for issues with my shoulder. I had 2 previous surgeries on it a couple years ago when I lived in St. Louis. Dr. Chambers wanted to do an MRI so the request was sent to my insurance company. It came back denied because the insurance company needed a peer-to-peer review, meaning a phone do discuss why I needed the MRI. Well, Dr. Chambers never called for the review with the insurance company. When I called to find out why he hadn't reached out to the insurance company, I was told that Dr. Chambers doesn't do peer-to-peer reviews. So, he either didn't want to treat me and that was his way out, or he really doesn't do any peer-to-peer reviews and loses patients because of it. An MRI typically requires a review with the insurance company. I don't believe that Dr. Chambers doesn't do these. I think, based on his diagnosis that my pain is very difficult to treat, he didn't want to mess with me. Either way, I now have to find a new doctor and have them order an MRI.

Shoulder Reversal
Dr. Chambers was fantastic at keeping up with my recupperation. I had to have 2 surgeries and had a drug reaction prior to the 2nd surgery, he was right there to check on me. He kept a close eye on me after surgery. He is very comforting and caring. He is great at answering any questions you might have and explaining everything to you. I would highly recommend him.

Total knee replacement surgery
The care I received from Dr Chambers and his team was exceptional, as well as my experience at the hospital & PT. I was expressed with his care system, from the office visits, texts, emails & literature, which left me feeling confident. My knee is well on it’s way to a full recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Chambers and his team.

Amazing Team Effort
Dr. Chambers has this surgical experience down to a well organized science. His team is with you from day one throughout the recovery period. From personal calls, texts, emails, videos and literature there are no surprises. The care that I received in the office, at the hospital and at PT was exceptional. It is no wonder his success rate is so high. My family and friends were amazed with my progress. My knee is well on the way to a full recovery. I highly recommend him and his team.
