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 Gibbons replaced both my knees. My recovery was fast with no complications. I was pleased with the surgery and care I received.

Had an excellent experience with Dr Gibbons! I highly recommend as he will take the time to figure out what he can do to help. He didn’t seem rushed as if he needed to get to his next patient and was very up front with my options for treatment. I really happy I went to see him as I’m finally getting some relief. Thanks Dr Gibbons!

Dr Gibbons does not mess around, he’s highly proficient & professional, just gets down to business in his diagnostics and surgical treatment. I appreciate & respect him! BTW I am just amazed at how the pre operative nerve blocked reduced my post operation pain! Thank you!

I would like to update my review, once I had my surgery all the doctors caring and concern went out the window. At post OP we could already tell he didn't care how it really went and each visit after that he seemed to care less. The staff was still nice. I returned to the office several times after surgery still in great amounts of pain, only to be told " well there's nothing else I can do for you". Before surgery he told me that It sometimes has to be repeated as it sometimes has to be repeated, 80% chance it works 1st time. It is over a year later and still having pain from elbow tendonitis. I will never recommend to anyone else. Not a trustworthy doctor, believe he is only in it for the money. Terrible experience.

Start to finish, I was very pleased and satisfied with the entire experience. In fact, I am planning on having them do the same thing to my other knee as soon as the first one heals enough to support another surgery. It was obvious throughout that the doctors, nurses, and support staff were committed to the highest level of care that they could provide. I was particularly impressed with the timely response from the nursing staff for all of the conventional and routine treatment that they provided. I felt like they gave me their best.

From the volunteer who welcomed me, to the receptionist who checked me in, to the nurses, the anesthesiologist, to the surgeon Dr. Gibbons, I was treated by a group that was kind, warm, very professional and obviously very skilled.
