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.

How does this sound? I had a hip replacement and I trusted him with my life and if need be would do it again, he was just amazing from the beginning to end.

Possibly the worst experience I have ever had in a medical office! Dr. was obviously way behind in his appointment schedule. He came into the exam room an hour and half after my appointment time! Very short and curt. His very quick assessment was that he wasn't going to be able to help me. Made sure to tell me I was not young any longer (true enough, but he could have been more diplomatic), wished me good luck and was off to his next appointment. Less than 5 minutes with him after waiting

Dr Mauer does a good job of explaining the procedure and made me feel confident of the results being excellent. He took his time to answer all of my questions and then gave me some additional time to think of anything I might have forgotten to ask him about.

My appointment seemed rushed, I spent more time with his Physician Assist. He was more worried about how long a knee replacement would last me than the actual pain and discomfort level I was going through presently.

Dr. Maurer is a great Surgeon and person. I recently had quadriceps surgery and he did a great job on me. He expertise and professionalism plus patient care is A+. He will be professional in every aspect of your case and he listens. I highly recommend him if you need surgery to the knee or quadriceps he is the Surgeon to use if referred. This review is truthful and no bs. He get all of the highest ratings from me because he is good at what he does. Great Surgeon with the skills.
