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.

Certainly not my first visit to an orthopaedic clinic, but clearly one of my best experiences. As a former athlete, I've sustained injuries to just about every area of my body - especially my legs and knees. Fortunately, I still have all of my original equipment despite my best efforts to require otherwise! That's primarily due to God's sustaining grace and the amazing doctors and surgeons He's placed in my life. While there is a general hesitancy and pause among many regarding healthcare in America today, it's refreshing to experience an organization and surgeon who genuinely listens to their patient to provide the best possible treatment and outcome. In my specific case, it would have been easy to have recommended the quick and easy replacement. However, Dr. Cox was far more interested in treating the immediate issue and enhancing my quality of life. Awesome surgeon and person!
