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.

My 89 year mother who has been terrified of doctors all her life. Reluctantly she agreed to see a Dr about her arthritis pain, I’m so glad we found Dr Larson. He was kind, easy to tAlk to and very skilled with the cortisone needle! He gave her a cortisone shot in both knees and she never felt a thing. She has even agreed to see him again. Everyone one from the reception desk to the X-ray tech, were wonderful. Thank you to all of you for easing my mother’s pain!

Very professional, listens and make you feel comfortable. I've been to see him twice already and i'm amazed at the efficiency of his crew and himself. He hasn't made wait too long in the exam room which really impressed me.

Dr. Larson provided me with clear alternatives on my first consultation, and offered useful ideas for managing my hip condition when I initially opted to forgo surgery. When I reached the point where surgery was the obvious path, he patiently answered my many questions, appropriately setting expectations and goals. I am now 5 months past the total hip replacement (anterior approach) procedure, am pain free, and have normal strength and range of motion. I would recommend Dr. Larson to anyone i

Great first experience! I just left the doctors office and after seeing three different orthopedists, for the first time I feel like there’s hope in sight and that the person that would be operating on me isn’t a pompous, impatient surgeon.

Dr. Larson is kind and caring and gives patience a sense of ease when talking to them. I came to him from another practice who refused to do a full knee replacement even though it was desperately needed. He listened to my concerns and listened to what I needed and did what I thought was best. He did a great job on my knee replacement and it has changed my life. Amazing man. Highly recommend.

I've never had a doctor listen as closely as Dr. Larson. He was very caring and kind and open to my own thoughts on recovery options. My leg injury healed very well. I recommend him to all friends and family, and everyone has loved him.

Dr Larson told me that the broken tibia bone in my leg was aligned in the cast and this was not true. When the cast was removed he discovered an infected sore, he did not culture the infection nor did he recommend antibiotics. He put a new cast on my leg and sent me on my way. When we went to another doctor to get a second opinion, he was aghast at the treatment I had received from Dr. Larson. Stay away from this doctor!

Dr. Larson makes good eye contact and leans in towards me when he talks. He is gentle and caring. When he says come back when you need me, I feel he really means it..
