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.

Appeared uninterested in my toe when ask why is it black and Blue and feels very numb. He's responded was "ARE YOU DIABETIC" He answered my question with a question basically non chalant and unconcerned. Non further elaboration. Narrow minded only interested in inserting a pin or surgery. No extended or further communication, The staff appears friendly but unhelpful. I had crutches and had to go to the women's bathroom weighting only 105 lbs I had to fight with the bathroom door to try to open it. Of all the people in that room NOT ONE even attempt to help. In Addition The technician pulled my stitches extremely hard when removing it, I yelled so loud, I ask him to get a light if he couldn't see~ though it seems to me it was intentionally he didn't comply until I ask for the Dr. to continue to remove the stitches. Never going there again and certainly will not recommend him nor that orthopedic practice to anyone

I love Dr. Porbusky, the staff is friendly, I’ve never had to wait long to get seen . He did my elbow surgery and so far so good with that( just had it 5 weeks ago) and he’s really nice. I definitely recommend him.

The doctor is a true healer. He is informative and has a kind, caring bedside manner. I have seen him for years for different ailments and he has always put me back on the road to recovery. He is my #1 choice in orthopedic doctors.

He came highly recommended by my rheumatologist for carpal tunnel release surgery. After finishing my paperwork, I waited in the front for one hour 15 minutes. As I walked past, I glanced at the sign in sheet to see six people came in behind me and all of their names had been crossed out. In the x-rays waiting room in the back, I was told it would be 30 minutes to an hour to get into the exam room. That would bring us to 4 -4;30 just to get into an exam room for a 2 o'clock appt. I left.
