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. Putterman is a solid physician. He’s knowledgeable and kind. He always respected my modesty and took the time to really explain things to me. 4 stars because he only does sports medicine. When I stopped seeing him for my sports injury, I was unable to continue seeing him for an unrelated chronic orthopedic condition. It’s not easy to switch doctors, let alone from one that you’re actually comfortable with.

I have the utmost trust and respect for Dr Putterman. He goes above and beyond what any other doctor has done for me. I am an impatient person who does not like to be kept waiting. He is the only doctor for whom I do not mind waiting because I see the time and attention that he gives to his patients. Truly one in a million!

Dr. Putter reconstructed my knee 25 years ago and I am still doing great and most importantly pain free and am able to do so much. I can not thank him enough for giving me my life back. I had my ACL LCL and Biceps Femorus Tendon reconstructed. Best most caring and truly gifted surgeon.
