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. Slade has done a carpal tunnel release on both my hands now, and I've referred others to him. I have complete trust in Dr. Slade and his abilities. He has a calm, resolute manner and speaks with purpose. Dr. Slade's assessment and explanations were brief, but thorough and deliberate. He sincerely answered every question that I had without a rush. I was nervous on surgery days, but felt at total ease once Dr. Slade came in for the pre-op visit. Surgeries and recovery were smooth. I highly recommend Dr. Slade.

As an Army OT Tech. I would look forward to working on Dr. Slade’s cases. He took the time and care to set his pt’s up for the most successful outcomes. Without a doubt I would trust him to complete my own surgeries. SFC(R) Borrego WBAMC

Two years ago I saw his PA and was injected and surgery suggested. Next visit saw Slate who suggested extensive irreversible surgery with months of recovery time without touching or examining my hand. He based suggestion solely on PA evaluation. Surgery was scheduled. A week later we visited a friend, a retired family practice doc. He injected a steroid along the tendon which removed all pain for two years. Now the pain returned. Went to Slade PA again and related pain relief from tendon injection. PA immediately returned to extensive hand surgery and scheduled it. I went to another hand surgeon who said maybe if I lived long enough I might need surgery but definitely not now. He recommended a brace and the hand is better. He also recommended another tendon injection which I will get next week.
