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.

Literally a life altering nightmare that I'm now stuck living with. It's criminal what this guy has gotten away with.

Need help with my back, shoulder and neck
When I used to see Dr Delbridge it went well until my staff wanted me to stop seeing him. I can only hope Dr Delbridge will see me again. My apologies for the inconvenience and I no longer have any one that can stop me from seeing him. Please reconsider me to come back.

My grandmother sees Dr. Arnold occasionally for follow up and during her appointments he talks into the dragon the entire time spent with her. I am a future physician and this is completely appalling that he would spend his time charting instead of doing a physical exam ( which he didn't even do, did not even look at her stitches for healing or infection). The lack of empathy and bed side manner is ridiculous.

Yes, I would recommend Dr. Delbridge because he did a great job repairing a complicated broken ankle requiring screws and plates. Caring and concerned.

Have had shoulder and knee surgery. I have been very satisfied with his work and have several friends that have used him and are all very happy with his work.
