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 is excellent & caring
I’ve been seeing Dr for a separate issue than was discussed today and we talked about the initial issue and decided to treat a second issue which can be taken care of now instead of he really listens!

Simply wonderful!
Dr Miester was so kind. He explained everything so well for my shoulder reversal replacement. I was never worried. The area was so perfectly sutured and stapled. No bleeding. The arm feels very secure. PT starts next week and I will be ready for summer and holding my grandchildren. Dr Meister and his staff are true professionals. The Orthopaedic Hospital and clinic are small enough to give you the attention you want and need. Thank you!

Good listener
I went in with a shoulder complaint and Dr Meister listened intently. He suggested an MRI so we could in the future more fully evaluate what could or should be done. I also had a question about my left elbow and asked, as long as I was there, if we could do an x-ray to see if it would be another problem down the line. Dr. Meister is a great listener and explains what’s going on using pictures as well as verbal explanations which helps immensely. He is always able to answer my questions as well.

Exceptional
I have had the pleasure (lol) of having Dr Meister being on call the first time I broke my wrist. Him and his staff were amazing! The second time, even better.By the third time, I own a wing in a hospital somewhere, but this Dr and his amazing staff are the best. Timely, helpful, empathetic.... etc

Outstanding physician
Dr. Meister took great care explaining the procedures he was going to do on my wrist. After my surgery, he checked in on me several times in recovery to see how I was doing. At my first post-op appointment, he took time to explain what he did during surgery using photos he had taken during the procedures. He did not seem rushed. My overall experience with him has been excellent.
