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.

Such a blessing to have Holden

Amazing Doctor
It's been a long time since I've seen a doctor that cared and was patient with me while addressing my concerns. Dr. Holden reminds me of what a great doctor is to me, experienced WITH genuine care and concern for his patients. He was very reasonable, listened to me, and ultimately helped me get better efficiently. My only regret is now I'm better and I have no need to see him anymore. 5 stars

Thank You Dr, you Listened intently to my issues
Dr. Holden and I had a great conversation, most Dr rarely ever talk to patients during an appointment-usually rushed or questions are dismissed.

Total Confidence in His Clinical Judgement
I have been a patient of Dr. Holden since 2005. He replaced my hip in 2009 and knee in 2017. Both excellent results. Now trying to determine source of hip pain ( other side) and shoulder assessment. Dr. Holden takes the time to examine all aspects of what is causing the pain. No quick judgements. I always feel comfort in his care.

Dr. Holden performed a Surgical procedure on me early this year and did an amazing job on me, I am much better now thanks to his work, and I appreciate all he has done for me. Aside from his skill, he is a very personable and caring Doctor who listens and treats his patients well. God Bless you Dr. Holden! Thanks for everything
