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.

1 year post knee replacement
Very courteous upon check in and gentleman who brought me back to the exam room was very courteous. No wait for my X-ray and kind technicians.Only reason I gave 3 stars vs 5 is that I had to wait in exam roof to be seen by MD for 35 minutes past my scheduled appointment time

This was my six weeks post op visit. Dr W did a thorough review of my current status, made clean and understandable do's and don'ts moving forward and was extremely patient while answering questions on my extensive list of activities I wanted to do. Everything from Driving to Woodturning. Very competent and reassuring. Totally pleased.
