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 Gibson is an excellent doctor. I had my hip replaced by him 3 years ago and it went extremely well. Just recently had knee replacement by him and the surgery and recovery are going very well. Dr Gibson explains all aspects of the surgery before and after and is willing to answer any questions you may. He takes great care in helping his patients. I would recommend him to anyone thinking about hip or knee surgery.

Had a total knee replacement that I apparently didn't need because after surgery I still have the same tendon pain as before. After being supplied four days worth of pain meds from the hospital, I was left without pain medication and Dr. Gibson only called in one day's worth of pills. What the hell good does that do?! Hospital doc said I would need pain meds for up to 12 weeks depending and here we are on day five and I have NOTHING FOR PAIN MGMT. THANKS A LOT! HAD TO CANCEL PT BECAUSE OF THIS. I AM BEYOND ANGRY.

I went to see Dr Gibson for Hip Replacement surgery. I was very impressed with Dr Gibson and the office staff. Dr Gibson took his time with me and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend him to any one. The office staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable even getting us a cup of coffee. I am very happy with my hip replacement. 2 weeks out and I am almost pain free.

Dr. Gibson was the only doctor that worked with me in my search a better solution to my knee replacement. He did an excellent job with my surgery and my recovery was faster and far less painful then I could have imagined. The entire process was streamlined and professional, from the office staff, the medical equipment dropped off ahead of surgery, the surgery center, the post op care and at 6 weeks my incision/scar is almost gone. I cannot say enough good things about Doctor Gibson, he's a gem!

My knee replacement resulted In a staph infection which required removal of the first replacement and months of IV therapy. Then a second replacement that is horrible and has caused more problems than helped. Dr Gibson should have taken more time. I feel all of this could of been avoided. I have lost way more than I gained in my situation. I do not recommend Dr. Gibson

I had to have a 2nd surgery by a different doc to get my shoulder fixed. Gibsons Tunnel Vision was not able to see all the issues in my shoulder, and he did not believe me when I told him there is more than just bone spurs causing an unusable shoulder. I'm glad there are other doctors out there that can identify rotator cuff tears, tendon tears, and find ALL the bone spurs, (not just the easy ones). Gibson cost me 4 months of pain, aggravation, lost work, another surgery and lots of money
