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.

This Dr is the best .....
Well what stood out with me the first time visiting dr slover he made me feel very comfortable I was in so much pain he did everything he can to make me feel better until I decided to have a knee replacement my first one was so good I felt so good that after two years I did my other knee for some reason my first one healed better nothing to do with Slover I guess its something about that second time around but I'm doing really good I'm having some pain now and I think its because being up and down stairs so much but I will have dr slover do my knees again if I ever have to he's great and so is his team thank you. dr slover for everything.

Dr Slover is a fantastic surgeon. He is so caring and understanding to your fears. I was diagnosed with blood clots and assured me that every precaution would be taken. Dr Slover on the day of my right hip surgery on March 11 2021 came and spoke to be with the reassurance of I would be alright. After my surgery that evening he came and spoke to my son to ask if there was anything else he could do. On June 15 2022 I had my left hip surgery. Dr Slover and PA Vanessa Mcdowell are the kindness surgeons. On that day they spoke to me and made sure I was comfortable. On the day of my release Dr Slover made arrangements that I would be picked by ambulance and carried up my flight of stairs. Thank you Dr. Slover PA Vanessa Mcdowell. I also want to thank Natalie his surgery secretary and Hollie his nurse

Dr. Slover saw right away that I was a nervous patient, and he really went out of his way to put me at ease. My knees were a real mess, especially my left knee, but he replaced both of them, and my knees are fine now. He also has an excellent sense of humor

Dr. Slover is an excellent surgeon. My surgery was a complete success and my recovery has been excellent with a lot of hard work on my part as well. The doctor can only do the surgery the patient has to do all the hard work to get a full recovery by following all the pre and post surgery exercises and physical therapy.

Dr. Slover and staff are professional, caring and most of all, available if you need to call. My recovery has been slow for personal reasons. Dr. Slover and staff have been reassuring. I also used Force Therapeutics which I found to be helpful.

I had my right hip replaced on March 4. I had my left hip replaced in Oct. 2019. I am doing very well. Walking without assistance: this time after about two weeks. Dr. Slover is very professional and is open to any questions you may have. His staff is very responsive and knowledgeable. Jane, one of his assistants, is as professional and was very helpful in making things happen. The PAs and Nurse Assistants at his office were always kind and helpful. I had the anterior approach and stayed overnight. The nursing staff at NYU Orthopedic is caring and responsive. I highly recommend Dr. Slover, (Due to pandemic, I had my first two post-op appointments via telehealth. My x rays were done locally)

Dr. Slover is nothing but professional, and a skilled surgeon. I had my left knee replaced in 2015, and my right hip in January 2020. Both replacements are great. I play Pickleball and am able to continue my walking regimen. In addition, he's a personable guy.

I had my right hip replacement in November. Dr Slover and his team are great from the first day. They help me with some forms issues they where very patient. After surgery the force team have good exercise videos for you to help towards your recovery. Also chat text on how everything is going with your recovery. This is good thing because there where days, I didn't fell good. Also Dr. Slover team have a on line nurse to help with any issues love this save a trip to the office. Still recovering and doing better. I would recommend Dr. Slover to anyone having hip surgery.

Dr. Slover and his team are truly wonderful. The care and attention that I received before, during and after my hip replacement made me confident I was in the right hands. It eased any concerns I might have had. I hope not to be back but would certainly use Dr. Slover again if my other hip needs to be replaced.

Dr. Slover allowed me to meet my goal, to walk again pain free! He is attentive to my issues. Great bedside manners! Honest and kind! Office and surgical team was wonderful and comforting. Bottom line, my hip replacement turned out very very well! This is only after 3 months, sure that further improvement will come!
