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.

Disappointed patient
Did a great job 20 years ago when he cared more about patients. Today it’s run like a meat market. Left damaged cartridge in the knee joint. Neglected his responsibility by not cleaning up the knee. Other doctor reviewed photos that showed a messy job, neglected cartridge that should have been removed. He rushed his work leaving a mess. Maybe to benefit for a future knee replacement instead of caring about the patients best interests

What could be improved
  • Difficult to schedule appointment
  • Didn't listen or answer questions

Yuck
The peer review indicates that recent imaging was not submitted. This is incorrect. The cervical and lumbar MRI results were included in the medical narrative. There was disc pathology at multiple levels with neural impingement, creating diagnostic uncertainty. EDx is authorized by the MTGs under these clinical circumstances.

He sells his opinions to insurance companies to deny medically necessary treatment to patients he has never seen. He is about the money; not caring for human beings.

I've been to MANY orthopedic offices due to my husband being treated for so many orthopedic situations. Believe me, there are sooo many orthopedic doctors out there that just don't know WTH they are doing. I'm a patient of Dr. Depuy and hesitate to go elsewhere because he is the ONLY doctor I have found who LISTENS to me and gives me excellent care. I feel like he is family to me and highly recommend him, would not go elsewhere unless he sends me elsewhere for consultation. Excellent 5-Stars!
