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. Pope is a waste of time.
He wasted our time and money on an injury he knew he could not fix. After several visits and an MRI, he referred us to another doctor because he could not perform the needed surgery. He did not take our pain very seriously. We had to start over again with a new doctor.

Knee replacement.
I started seeing Dr Pope 7 years ago. He was recommended from a friend who was pleased with him. I had a miniscus tear which he repaired. I have been his patient ever since. He just did a full knee replacement. We exhausted all other treatments before I made the decision to have surgery. He was great to work with. He answered all my questions. Dr Pope never hurried me and was always professional and cheerful. I felt very comfortable with him. The staff was great and always returned my calls quickly. If you are looking for a great Dr , I would definitely make an appointment with him.

I am very satisfied with Dr. Pope and his staff. Dr. Pope performed an ACL reconstruction on my right knee. He was recommended to me by a personal friend that is an Orthopedic Physician's Assistant - her doctor doesn't do knee work, but I described what the issue was and she said absolutely go see Dr. Pope because that is who she would choose. Dr. Pope correctly diagnosed the problem and repaired my knee. I am now 4 years post-op and that knee is still perfect.

Dr. Pope has performed a ACL reconstruction and meniscectomy with great results. I had a previous ACL repair on the same knee which I believe was a failed surgery. I have not had any issues since my second repair. Dr. Pope's staff is excellent. They will call back in a timely manner and try to accommodate my schedule when I need to be seen.

Originally started with another doctor at B&J but changed when he told my college age daughter that she didn’t need crutches or support while she waited for repair of her complete ACL tear. Dr. Pope is lovely. He patiently explained her injury, drew pictures, explained the procedure and follow up. While waiting during my daughter’s surgery, at least 3 people were notified to go to recovery to meet their family members. When my daughter’s name was called, they asked me to wait as the doctor w

I have suffered from a knee problem since I was a child. I have been to several doctors and had three surgeries before I found Dr. Pope. He is the first doctor to actually listen to me and believe that I knew my body better than he did. He listened and asked questions and didn't dismiss me. And, he performed the surgery that has fixed my knee. It's been over a year and I have had no problems! In the age of managed care, I never felt rushed with Dr. Pope. Professional and caring.

I was referred to Dr. Pope by Dr. Lawrence J. Messina, M.D. who was my doctor for years. I needed surgery because of a Torn Meniscus. During my first visit with Dr. Pope he put my considers at ease. He explained what I needed to be done as out patient, the time of recovery and physical therapy. There were complications with the Anesthesia and I was admitted to the hospital. Dr. Pope returned to the hospital after hours to check on my condition. He has the best doctor to patient considers.

I have been a patient of Dr. Popes for 15 Years. I cannot envision another Dr. treating me as professionally or as successfully through my numerous orthopedic issues. Dr. Popes staff is as helpful as can be and is easy to reach for any needed support. Dr. Pope actually came to the hospital to operate on me on his day off when I was involved in a serious automobile accident.Since then he has replaced both knees successfully while compensating for other side health issues I have developed.
