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.

Staff was professional and courteous Dr. Not so much

He's a disaster, be very cautious, living in pain
He did a total hip replacement & I had a hematoma & he said oh your body will absorb it. Next I was in unbearable pain not only in the hip area but in my area around my butt area. Well after he left town unexpectedly a few weeks after my surgery I needed answers to why I was in so much pain. Low & behold Kosiuer had cut threw unnecessary nerves & muscles that affect my back & leg. Well 7 yrs later I'm still messed up having to use a walker daily. I've had a revision surgery to correct the leg length & try to get some pain relief but was told the damage has been done.With him MIA after my surgery, the hematoma & living with unbearable pain, wish I would've sued him for what he's forced me to live with FOREVER! But no one knew where he was!Think before you move forward with him. I was told by hospital personnel that he disappeared. Again be forewarned

I would recommend Dr. Kosiur if you want to have a repeat surgery. Dr. Kosiur repaired my meniscus. It never felt right after two years. He cuts and gives med's. Doesn't thing rehab is important. I'd rate Dr. Kosiur a zero. It's been repaired and feels good now.

He was very knowledgeable, but also a little arrogant. As far as answering questions, he would use a lot of medical terms that I didn't know and I felt like he expected me to understand. When I asked for him to put it in laymans terms for me, he would explain it better but with an attitude as if he was exasperated and impatient.
