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.

Great experience with Dr. Thriffiley. Went in for a painful trigger thumb and was told that a cortisone shot could help and possibly cure my symptoms. I received the shot and after just a week, my trigger thumb is now pain and symptomatic free!

Dr. Thriffiley has treated all six members of my family and is an excellent doctor. I rate him an easy 5 stars. This man met us at the ER when my daughter dislocated her elbow. Awesome man and a straight shooter. I would not have it any other way!

Dr. Thriffiley and his staff are awesome. I had arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder due to an automobile accident. Dr. Thriffiley was very thorough in his explanations and his follow ups. His staff is very kind and pleasant. The wait times are very quick. I would definitely say if you need to see an orthopedic to go here.

Dr Thriffiley is a great doctor. He is no-nonsense and is very matter-of-fact. He treated me for bursitis and hip deterioration and finally performed hip replacement. I have also seen him for trigger finger and for knee pain. In my experience he always offers alternatives to surgery first and is not overly anxious to cut first. He was also always willing to answer my questions and to explain procedures and problems. I highly recommend him.
