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.

Recommended? Absolutely.
Went in for a problem with my shoulder and needed a total replacement. From beginning to end everything was great. The staff all the way through are fantastic. No hesitation in recommending this group.

Dr. Roster and his staff were amazing. I was treated with respect and he actually took the time to listen to me and explain what was going on with me and treatment needed. Thank you for the wonderful service.

Great Experience
Was so happy to find a doctor that did laparoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release surgery! The healing time was shortened dramatically and I only had a small incision on my wrist instead of my palm cut open.! Very knowledgeable and very little wait time in office

Awesome/Patient
I’ve been getting knee injections for years. My initial visit he gave me advice on my knee. Let me stay in a room as I contemplated getting the injections or not. I stayed in the at least 45 minutes to an hour. He patiently gave me that time because he knew I was undecided and unsettled or more apprehensive. The decision was made and the rest is history. He has given and continues to give me an evaluation each time on my progress or regression of the knee. I trust him completely and will continue to do so. Thank you Doctor Rister for your professional friendly approach to your craft. I say craft because he is not “practicing”. Thanks Doc!!
