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.

waited almost 2 hours and he didn't show up
What a waste of time - 'Dr' didn't arrive in the nearly 2 hours I was waiting to be seen. Disrespectful and clearly doesn't' care. No one came to let me know was running behind - left and no one even cared - avoid this practice at all costs unless you have nothing better to do in life but wait hours to not be seen. In addition, the MA was extremely rude and the XR tech rude as well. If I could give mines stars I would.

He is the best doctor I have ever met.
He remembered me from my first visit. He cuts to the problem and then he told me about three options. He is very personable.

Initial visit for knee injury
Dr. Secrist was friendly, listened to my concerns, and did a thorough examination of my knee. He took time to understand my desire to return to a high level of physical activity and recommended an MRI to further diagnose the extent of injury.

Type “A” doc with A plus skills set
Dr Secrist, fortunately, discovered the cause of increased difficulty with my gait during a consult on another issue. He is incredibly thorough, worked hard at making sure I understood my new diagnosis and surgical options, provided YouTube tutorials and that I was comfortable every step of the way of a hip revision.

Recommendation
Dr. Secrist took time after a long day of surgery (including mine) to see me and share information with he. He must have been exhausted, but was still the same upbeat, positive person I had come to know. His videos were very helpful, too, putting my mind ease prior to surgery.

Very hands on Doctor
My surgery was later in the morning. I ended up staying at the hospital overnight. It was early evening and honestly thought Dr Seacrist had started his weekend. He came to my room @ 1900 just to see how I was doing. The next great thing in my mind was he came in the following Saturday morning @ 0700. Was very impressed with his way of conducting himself. Seems genuinely concerned with his patients and with the conversation the wife and I had on that Saturday morning, he makes many more considerations for a positive outcome than the patient may be aware of. Thank you!
