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 Tearse and staff have completed both knee and shoulder surgeries on me and I have nothing but high praise for those procedures. They suggested Performance Therapies as my Rehab and they are Great too. (Blake Tiedtke).

Dr. Tearse does not care about the condition of his patients, nor does he care about the pain they are experiencing. He is not able to provide information to help relieve the pain of the condition or diagnose problems. He will refer you to other doctors that have month long waiting lists. He has an attitude that prevents him from explaining conditions well. Overall I am very annoyed that I spent 3 months with Dr. Tearse and he was still not able to help me.

I had a complicated knee joint injury fractured femur in the knee joint. I had a surgery performed by one knee specialist and it failed, I had Dr.Tearse work on it and fix held I would recommend him to any and every body, his bed side manner is unmatched. Recovery goes at your pace and.your comfort level.
