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.
All staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Dr Houle is the BEST!

Keeping an appt with Dr. Houle is always a pleasure. He listens. He encourages. He is kind, has never been impatient with me. He has a great sense of humor...and he replaced a hip for me, which has given me a new lease on life, pain-free walks, renewing my outlook. He is just the best. I recommend him to anyone who needs a joint replacement or treatment.
