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.

Horrible in every way possible!
We had a terrible experience with Dr. Mehling. He operated on my partner's broken humerus in 2022, and the entire experience was horrendous.Dr. Mehling mentioned he went with an unconventional procedure because the hospital did not have the right apparatus on hand. After the surgery, it was very hard to get hold of him, and after having consulted with (several) other surgeons after, we learned that everything Dr. Mehling said and did - from the choice of procedure to post-op care to recovery timelines, were incorrect and resulted in a potentially dangerous situation with the rod in my partner's humerus starting to come out. My partner ended up having to get surgically operated upon again, and the two surgeries in a narrow window resulted in post-op complications.Billing was messy as well, and his office did not make it easy for us in any way.If you can, seek another surgeon for your own safety.

He is Amazing. Very thoughtful ,kind and caring.
Dr. Brian Mehling explained my condition and everything he was going to do and about how long it would take. He has a very soothing voice and the perfect touch putting a painfully traumatic situation in the right perspective immediately calming me down . I felt totally secure and has complete confidence in him. He is thoughtful beyond belief. I highly recommend him.

Horrible
I met him the day before the surgery he came in said things I didn’t understand then left, he then told me after the surgery I would be weight bearing on my leg (I broke it he tibia and fibula) he was rude didn’t answer questions acted as if the concerns I had were insignificant. He treated me worse than any doctor I have ever seen. I got a second opinion and good thing because I’m not weight bearing and have literally been walking on a leg that is not even close to healed, my advice folks, get a second opinion and run as far and fast from this inconsiderate, rude, incompetent so called doctor.

Horrible!!He was extremely rude when I called to get information about my brothers surgery.. My brother doesn’t have insurance. He said he couldn’t perform surgery in the ER but suggested we meet at his office where he could do the surgery for 2,000.00.. That he would work out a payment plan.. When I called to see what was needed down payment wise he was abrupt and short w me saying he gave my brother(who is somewhat out of it due to pain meds) the information. He was awful, rude and hung up!

Dr. Mehling is very welcoming. He took time to listen and answer all of my questions and concerns. He reassured me of my prognosis after my surgery, what it will entail, and how I would feel afterwards. He also explained what I would need to do to help myself to recover as quickly as possible.
