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.

Dr. Looney and Beck have always been so caring and informative. Very good bedside manner.

He’s a phenomenal doctor
Dr. Looney has a phenomenal bedside manner and always listens to my concerns. He is very knowledgeable about my genetic conditions that affect orthopaedic and other treatments but he always finds a solution for the best treatment and procedures. I have followed him to three different locations during their expansion and would follow him almost anywhere. He is fantastic. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Great experience with Dr Looney
I went to.Him with a fractured kneecand he did a procedure that day that made me feel better. He also gave me a brace which allowed me to walk much better. The office was also great. They got me in quickly. Did the necessary test on-site? Got an appointment the next day with the Doctor and was being helped immediately. Don't hesitate to call Doctor Looney at the bone and joint institute. If you need help with any bone or joint problem. Overall experience was definitely a ten plus.

Great experience, great staff, great doctor.
Very efficient office.I never had to wait long as each step of my exam & treated unfolded.Very friendly & knowledge staff & assistants. Dr. Looney was terrific.I thought he was going to recommend surgery straight away for my shoulder issues but he said a more prudent plan would be to try non surgical methods first.Great bedside manner as well.A terrific doctor.

Pain in shoulder
He did a thorough exam of my shoulder to determine cause of pain. It's arthritis. He put 2 injections in and I hardly felt either one. Thank you Dr Looney

I was concerned about knee surgery but Dr. Looney informed I had a lot left in my knees. Shot in each and done. No waiting around, in & out 1 hour. This is the day after and I feel great.

1st visit
Everything that day was crazy due to the icy weather but the entire staff worked hard to get everything and everyone taken care in a professional manner. Meeting Dr looney was enjoyable as he explained the procedure and answered my questions I have confidence that he’s and his staff are the right choice for me. I’ll update my review after TKR next week.
