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 Holmes was everything I could want in a surgeon. Good communication, no surprises, explained all procedures carefully, excellent results from my surgery.

If you want to see a Dr that doesn't listen to you, then see Dr. Holmes. Even after getting an MRI, he insisted my knee issue was lack of cartilage under my patella. He said 'there's nothing that can fix this.' This was absolutely wrong. Don't give up if he tells you that. In fact, don't see him in the first place. Also, his assistant is very rude.

Older, wiser, kinder. He really took the time to properly explain the implications of my injury (a badly broken hand) and offered lots of good advice to help promote a full recovery. He didn't sugar-coat the potential downsides of having a broken bone, but I left his office definitely feeling there was someone in my corner looking out for my best interests. Plus, he's just a very nice guy, witty and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
