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.

Could be better
I had an appointment where the office staff of Dr. Cummings said he insists on new X-rays even though I told them I had 1-month-old X-rays from a different orthopedic surgeon. The problem is my insurance hardly covered the X-rays and my share of the X-rays was $2700!! The other orthopedic surgeon had sent over my x-rays so Cummings had them and the other orthopedic surgeon had their own imaging in-house. Dr. Cummings does not so you have to go across the hall to Enloe imagine where they price through the nose. The other same X-rays at the other orthopedic surgeon were $400 compared to $2700 at Enloe Imaging so not happy about that at all.

Multiple issues after my total hip replacement
Dr Cummings replaced my hip in 5/20. I recovered in a timely manner but had significant pain raising my leg. It was a ilisoas impingement Fast forward 6 months and I started having more pain in my hip. I went to UCSF wher I was told my stem was loose and I’d need to have is replaced. Dr Eric Hansen replaced to stem and I recovered as expected. Over the next year I worked on the impingement. The pt did not work so I went back to UCSF and had the ilisoas released. I’m recovering from that now. I’m not sure if dr Cummings caused these issues but I do know that both happened after he did my hip replacement. I do know a friend of mine also had to get an ilisoas release after a replacement by dr Cummings.

He and his staff were friendly. The only problem is after 15 months I am still having significant pain. He says he can not find anything wrong. Bottom line, see you in a year.
