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.

He seems very experienced but our visit was very short (yes it was a follow up visit after seeing him initially for eval) & only talked with the patient , not physically examined the shoulder.

Orthopedic follow-up
Dr. Adolph did not make eye contact with me; bland. He told me what I wanted to hear which was moving from a splint to a removable brace for my wrist. Did not review the x-ray films with me. He had them up on the screen and could have taken 30 seconds or less to show me the status of my fracture. Thank goodness I didn't have questions because there was no opportunity to ask.

Competent, caring
Dr Adolph gave me options for treatment and explained the pros and cons but let me make my own decision. I did not feel rushed and felt secure that he knew what he was doing.

Thorough and Personal
Dr. Adolph reviewed the images of my injury and discussed his diagnosis very thoroughly with me. During my visit, he took his time discussing with me how to proceed in rehabbing my problem. I appreciate very much that he was thorough and personal during my entire visit.

Great experience
Staff was friendly and efficient. Dr Aldoph was attentive and made sure I understood my options, especially since I would like to proceed with the least invasive options first. Very happy with my experience.

Best Just to know
I was having trouble with my Right knee and did not know what was happening to it. I made my appointment by calling in and setting up my appointment for a time to see Dr.Adolph after seeing my X-rays he knew right away what my problem was. After having my left knee re-placement by Dr. Adolph I will trust him with Any problems that might arise.

Dr. Adolph agreed to see me on very short notice and he was prompt. He did a thorough exam of my hand and offered to inject it. The injection was painful but he was as gentle as I think he could have possibly been and my hand is much improved today.

Had my left quad tendon re-attached after a complete tear. Dr. Adolph and his staff were great from the pre-op through the surgery, through the post op appointments. Very thorough and professional. I would recommend.

A+++ surgery result
Dr Adolf did a lateral stabilization surgery on my left ankle in early 2016. That surgery result was spectacular. I have zero pain in that ankle after years of the opposite. It is strong and the scar is nearly invisible. From what I can recall, dr adolfs bedside manor was average, but I did feel heard. The man is an excellent surgeon. I’d happily return to him for any future orthopedic needs
