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. Janssen
If this is about today, I saw the NP, Chase Brown. I like both. Both polite, professional and kind. Both answer questions and very honest.

Meniscus Tear, Family Affair
I appreciate Dr. Janssen’s thorough explanation of the imaging, procedures, and recovery expectations. He did the same surgery on my husband’s same knee last year. I send all my patients to him as well.

Two Time Patient
This was my second injury that Dr. Janssen fixed well. Both went well. SportsMED is busy, but they take care of you quickly. The surgeries seemed to go well. The physical therapists aggressively helped me recover. Follow-ups proved to me that I healed well.

Dr. Janssen is very caring and provides all options available that might address your needs. He is not quick to automatically recommend surgery. He wants his patients to make informed decisions.

ACL repair
Dr Janssen has been an excellent professional surgeon to work with. I am 12 days out from my surgery and my knee seems to be doing very well. His staff was able to move my surgery up to an earlier date, which was extremely helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Janssen for ACL repair surgery.

Professional Medical Care with Heart
I have been a patient of Dr.Janssen for 5 plus years. Each appointment with him left me feeling reassured I was making informed best decisions for my knee care. Most recently I’ve had total knee replacements on both knees. I feel Dr. Janssen cares about enabling me to live my best life and doesn’t just see me as a number to move through the office.

Dr Eric Janssen
Dr Janssen is a very caring doctor. Always takes the time to listen and answer any questions. He was very good explaining about what happens during the surgery and about what to expect in the recovery time. He did not sugar coat the pain level after surgery, but explained and helped me get through it. His staff is great, anytime I left a message about any thing, his nurse always returned my call.
