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. Ian Gradisar is compassionate and thorough.
Dr. Gradisar answered my questions about my right ankle and knee. Helping me make the decision of how to address the issues I am having. I received an injection which helps with the pain for a few more months until a probable replacement.He has replaced both of my hips and both of my husband’s knees.He has our full respect in every aspect as a top notch Orthopaedist.We would both highly recommend him.

Dr. Greta repaired my hip. I’ve had an excellent result. More importantly, he identified that there might be other issues and arranged for me to quickly see a back Doctor who has also helped me.

Dr. Gradisar and his colleagues are outstanding!
I had hip surgery and everything went well. Dr. Gradisar is very professional and explains everything that will be done. Really liked the fact that you stay overnight at the hospital. They take good care of you and make sure you are ready to go home and be safe there.

Great doctor and team
What a nice experience. No surgery or hospital stay is ever any fun. Doctor Gradisar and his team were amazing. The hospital was top notch along with the care I received. All staff were very professional and courteous and knew what to do. I never encountered a grouchy staff member. The follow up appointment was great and positive. I would highly recommend Crystal Clinic, Doctor Gradisar and his team. What could have been a very stressful time was managed with as less stress as possible. Very positive experience overall
