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.

First class from beginning to end .

Outstanding Results
Everything associated with my surgery was perfect. Dr. Momaya removed a 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm piece of floating bone from my knee and the results exceeded my expectations. The entire process at St Vincent's on SR 119 was efficient and seamless. I had severe pain when exercising prior to the surgery and now I have no pain. Dr. Momaya did a great job. I highly recommend Dr. Momaya.

Best Ortho Surgeon of the South!
Dr. Momaya was thorough from the consultation until the our very last post-operation appointment. He did an ACL reconstruction and Meniscal Root Repair and my knee has never felt better. Got me back playing soccer within 9 months as if the injury never happened! If you choose any other doctor you’re making a mistake, he is a doctor I will go back to in an instant if needed.

I had a great experience with Dr. Momaya. He looked at my MRI and immediately told me what was needed for me to heal. My surgery and recovery went very well. I was told specifically what I could and could not do in my recovery. He listened and addressed my concerns. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Momaya performed my meniscus repair surgery, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Before surgery, Dr. Momaya was very informative and always ready to answer all of my questions. In the months following surgery, Dr. Momaya was attentive (always remembering specific details about myself and my knee) and, again, was always willing to answer any questions. I hope to never need orthopedic surgery again, but if I do, Dr. Momaya will be my first choice! Thank you!

Dr. Momaya came highly recommended by a friend. I was not disappointed! He correctly diagnosed my shoulder injury, which prevented me from going into surgery for an unnecessary repair that another doctor recommended. He listened to my entire situation and history and gave a very thorough exam, so he could make a holistic diagnosis. I highly recommend Dr. Momaya, and this is coming from a person that is very difficult to please. :)
