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.

177 days of knee pain, now pain greatly reduced
I hesitated trying a new doctor. He suggested the Rooster Comb gel 1 weekly for 5 weeks to be injected into my left knee. I never have ever wanted to try any type of injection in my knees. After a bit of tolerated apprehension I went with it. Wow !!! I can’t thank Dr Bollenbacher enoughto finally have pain relief , even if only for 6 months. He is a great doctor who thinks outside the box and made suggestions that have turned out to be the best solution so far. I would highly recommend him for any orthopedic needs.

Knee check up
Dr. Bollenbacher replaced both of my knees, 10 and 8 years ago. He is a knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate physician. The surgeries went amazingly well and 10 years later, both knees are in great shape. I would highly recommend him.

Second arm rotator cuff repair
I sought out Dr Bollingbacher for my second shoulder surgery because he’d done such a great job on the other shoulder years ago. Dr Bolingbacher is concerned about my well being, professional and has taken care of me as a patient. His entire office staff in Terre haute, and at the horizon health hospital were kind, pleasant, helpful and strove to take care of me before, during and after surgery.

Very friendly staff. I was in at my scheduled time and seen by Dr Bollenbacher right after. He looked at my X-rays and determined the best approach to my issue. The Dr was very personable and listened to all I told him.

Dr Bollenbacher cares deeply about his patience's
He has repaired my knee and now my torn rotor cuff. I would not trust any other doctor for my care. Doc Bollenbaucher has an outstanding reputation for his skills in this field. It shows in his concern to do the best in your treatment and surgery. Having had 22 operations on my body this doctor has been the best in truly caring to get the best outcome for me. He is simply the best in my book.

I had 2 surgeries with him. His office is dirty. The X-ray tech and one nurse are great, but the rest of the staff is very unprofessional. I had a complication with my second surgery and a cast that was too tight. It took literal HOURS for him to even check it and then more HOURS for him to try to fix it. I would never ever let him touch me again!!! I am still going to need 1-2 more surgeries to fix the nerve damage he caused.

I read my MRI report before my appointment with Dr. Bollenbacher. I had a Mencius tear and a tumor in my Femur just above the knee. After he told me my options about my knee, I asked him about the tumor. He said, "tumor?" Then he read the report. He didn't even bother to read the report through before he talked to me. It's not a life threatening tumor, but what if it had been? Then he tried to pass off PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy as Stem Cell Therapy. Really?!!!
