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.

Informed Friendly Care
Clearly discussed my condition and treatment options to consider with specifics on the future treatment he recommended that I could check out to further understand. I always want to know the facts and appreciated his informative and common sense approach to what I should expect. Too early, as yet, to know the results but grateful that I have clear information going forward.

Great manner.
Great manner. Listened to my complaints, my concerns, and even my own ideas. Addressed each with care and compassion. I don't feel Dr. Aiken made a decision that day, I feel that we made one together.

Excellent Doctor!
Dr. Aiken is very knowledgeable and friendly. He treated me for a trigger thumb with an injection. It eventually cleared up. I was glad to not require surgery.

I have been to 9 different doctors for an injury and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. Dr. Aiken figured it out and is referring me to a specialist.

Wrong referral
While Dr Aiken was very nice and professional we were very disappointed having been referred to him by Dr Jenkins (in the same office) to be able to do arthroscopic surgery on our son’s elbow only to find out he doesn’t do arthroscopic surgeries so he had to refer us to someone else. Waiting 2 weeks to see him was a complete waste of our time (not to mention having to pay another $50 co pay just to have 5 mins of his time for him to refer us to yet another doctor) and now my 15 year old son is no closer to getting his elbow fixed
