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.

Total hip replacement
I had heard Dr Kyle was a fantastic surgeon and I got to see first hand. I had never been thru surgery before so naturally I was nervous. I got to the hospital and I was so happy with the staff. Dr Kyle and his team was the best. They made me feel relaxed and in good hands. And after my surgery I had no pain and it will be three weeks Thursday I’m doing great. . I would tell anyone if you need to have a hip or knee surgery to ask for Dr Kyle with La Orthopedic surgeon. He is awesome.

Dr. Kyle was awesome. My surgery was a huge success with very little pain or down time. I could always reach him or his assistant for questions. He also took time to call me himself.

Practically pain free!
Dr. Kyle and the entire LOS team are amazing! I spent 4 months prior to hip replacement surgery worrying for nothing. He was quite thorough in explaining what to expect before and after the surgery. He answered all my questions before I could even ask. He said I would be up and walking within hours after my surgery, hard to believe but it happened. Ileft the hospital with everything I needed to continue healing at home. Recovery was a breeze and I was able to get back to riding my bike 6 weeks later. Great Dr and team! Highly recommend him!

2 week follow up from hip surgery
Dr. Kyle checked my hip-removed the bandage and gave me a good report on my recovery progress-so far. He answered any questions I had. I would recommend him to anyone with knee or hip issues.

I was disappointed in this visit. We had to wait forty five minutes and then all we did was drop off a Dr approval document and pick up a document and was charged $40. Could have done this at the front desk.

Very much recommended
just nowNewThree years ago, my hip started bothering me. After a visit to the Orthopedic Quick Care, I was told I needed a hip replacement due to arthritis. My memories of my mother’s hip replacement 30 yrs ago scared the heck out of me. In the process of getting treatment my journey began with the late Dr Perry, before during hip surgery he referred me to Dr Brent Romero to check my back because I had extreme lower leg pain as well. It was decided to take care of my back first, so in May I had back surgery. After back surgery I was still suffering with lower leg pain as well as hip pain. Dr Kyle scheduled me for surgery in November. Day of surgery I showed up at Park Place hospital at 05:30, surgery started around 07:00.When waking after surgery, I was in full amazement as I had Zero Pain. I could feel the bandage pulling on my skin, but that is all I felt. I walked out the hospital at 3:30 that afternoon painless. As afraid as I was about doing surgery, all that fear was for nothin
