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.

Ruined my life
I went to him because I didn't feel I was being taken seriously by a different doctor. He told me I had CRPS and then proceeded to tell me what a shame it was that I have CRPS when I'm so young and beautiful. He didn't listen to a word I said and kept pushing CRPS. I was upset and he said he wouldn't charge me. As I'm waiting for my paperwork, I over hear him call the previous doctor. I had to see that other doctor and he parroted everything Hilker said to me. Just for the record CRPS effects your sympathetic nervous system, not the parasympathetic nervous system. I'm not an idiot, although you treated me like one. My talar dome is broken. It was broken in 2020 when I saw you and it's still broken today.

Good Appointment!
I was nervous having had the same procedure done at different doctors office. Was very grateful the staff was professional with me dealing with hypersensitivity. The doctor helped to distract me and was kind. The assistant gave me a great care package with ample products needed and instructions that she verbally told me as well. I highly recommend!

Dr. Hilker is possibly the best doctor I’ve ever seen. He goes way out of his way for his patients; he explains things thoroughly and well. Anyone who left a negative review must have had an incredibly different experience than I did.

Dr. Hilker is very knowledgeable. He completely explains your condition while putting it in terms a a lay person can understand. His staff is very friendly and helpful. They always call me by my first name and immediately respond to my prescription needs. I never wait more that a few minutes past my appointment time. I have been going to Dr. Hilker on and off for 10 years. I was going to FWO for my foot problems. There I was treated like a random patient with no personal touches.
