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. King is exceptionally good at his profession and treats his patients with compassion and respect but most of all he puts things into layman's terms so that it is understandable!

I had a consultation with Dr. King regarding surgery and found him to be easy to communicate with. He listened and responded in an educated and thoughtful way. I have scheduled my procedure. As for having to pay my share prior to surgery - that’s great! It is my responsibility to pay for his specialized work. They even offer assistance in paying. So anyone complaining about billing practices wasn’t listening when the financial portion of his services was gone over.

Excellent surgeon. Very caring and thorough. Should not be judged on billing. This does not reflect his skills as a surgeon.

My husband has been a patient for a number of years. His care has included several surgeries. We have found Dr. King a very competent, caring and compassionate physician. He is a good listener and quite holistic in approach. We are thankful he practices in our community and strongly recommend him to others.

Not happy with this Dr and his associates. My husband a surgery schedules and we were told 2 days before the surgery that we had to come up with almost $800! No other warning that we needed to come up with that money and 2 days before Christmas!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? who pays upfront? I NEVER heard of such practice? We will just find another Dr.
