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.

Makes a big difference when I get gel or cortisone to keep knees pain free. Dr Schwab is great!

Best knee Dr.
Dr. Schwab is the one of the nicest people I’ve met. He is very patient and kind and explains everything thoroughly. This is my second set of gel shots in my knees in 10 years and I’ve been very happy with the results. His nurse assistant, Kris, is the best, so efficient and friendly. I’d recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Thomas Schwab
I and my family have been seeing Dr. Schwab on and off since 2011 and wouldn’t see anyone else for our Orthopedic needs. He has always been professional, I’m going into great detail explaining the nature of our injuries, thoroughly educating us with pictorials, never making us feel rushed when addressing our questions.
