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.

I have already recommend friends to Dr. Blocker. When I went to him, I could hardly walk. My left hip was a disaster. He explained everything me, what to expect and what my limitations would be, suffice it to say my total hip replacement well, not problems. He's very patient and genuinely care for his patients as individuals. I was so confident had no problems. I had my second replacement this June, recovery for me is relatively quick. I highly recommend him. Much thanks, Dr. Blocker, I'm finally pain free!
