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.

So happy a friend of mine recommended Dr. Honkala for my knee replacement. Very, very pleased with my outcome, great not to have that pain any longer. Dr. Honkala is great at his job and it shows. The people that work in his office are all pleasant. I could not be more pleased. Thank you Dr. Honkala and his entire staff ! If he did not fix me up they might have had to put me down ! Lol

Dr. Honkala is an excellent surgeon and a doctor who cares about his patients. He operated on my arm in the late evening after spending a long day in the office. He performed emergency surgery to address multiple breaks and dislocation in my right arm and elbow. I recovered in 6 weeks and have total mobility of the arm. He performed two hip replacement surgeries, right and left hips, and my range of motion, strength, and gait are remarkable.

Dr Honkala. You need not look further to find the the dry best orthopedic surgeon. I have had ankle fusion, hip replacement and my wife has had both of her knees replaced. Replacement was the best decision we ever made. Dr. Honkala was the best decision we made to do those surgeries. Highly recommend.
