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.

It was long ago, but Dr. Price completely saved my badly broken and dislocated ankle. I ended up with 100% functionality. Also, his bedside manner is wonderful and caring.

Dr. Price was extremely professional for my visits to him. I am new to the area and needed a new Dr. to diagnose my shoulder problems. I was able to get in to see him and all preperations done in a short period of time and had my shoulder repaired. I highly recommend Dr. Price.

Thank you for sharing your experience.
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Price?
I felt very comfortable with Dr. Price on my initial appointment with him, when he spent plenty of time explaining the procedure that would be done for my total knee replacement, and making sure all my questions were answered. Following surgery, and my second post-op appt. at about 6 weeks after surgery, my incision was healing very nicely, and I was doing well also at my physical therapy appointments. My physical therapist told me I was doing amazingly well, and he was very impressed with the surgery that was done by Dr. Price. This was my first total knee replacement surgery, but I will definitely return to see Dr. Price if my other knee eventually needs surgery.

Dr Price did a total hip replacement for me in December 2017. That very same day I was free of pain for the first time in a very long time. He explained the procedure well so I had no questions. He and his office were most pleasant and reassuring. Now I am having difficulty with my other hip but have absolutely no concerns with another hip replacement by Dr Price. I am most grateful for having a life again.

I had a problem with my right shoulder. Dr Price had repaired my Left Rota-tor Cuff in 2012 and it has been great. New MRI indicated no tears only bursitis. Dr Price suggested trying an injection, which he did, and I have a fully functioning shoulder. I have full confidence in his judgement and medical skills and recommend him highly.

Was very helpful and since this shoulder had to have Rotator surgery twice because of 2 different accidents! I am feeling better now my only wish is that after my first accident I could have gotten better if I could have scheduled with Dr Price but since I was seen in the emergency room at St Pat’s on a weekend you can see only the person that was on call and he dropped the ball, suffered for 2 years until I got in with Dr Price and he knew right away that the rotator was torn! Good doctor!

Dr. Price fixed both my dad’s meniscus and my tibial spine fracture. There is nobody I would trust more with my knee than him - my dad’s recovery was quick and pain free, while mine has gone smoothly so far. Everyone who worked with him was especially kind and very accommodating to my personal needs with medications and bracing post surgery. Dr. Price and his team were truly there for me; I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to fix your knee!
