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.

Love him! He helped us by amputating my daughter's legs at 6 months of age. Very caring! Listened and spent lots of time with us. Fantastic surgeon. No revisions ever needed. Minimal scarring. Highly recommend. He welcomed consulting specialists around the country prior to our decision to amputate. She is doing great!

Dr. Fisk has left me with a lifetime of pain due to a failed spinal fusion. He used a cadaver bone without getting my approval beforehand and then didn't put a plate in to secure the bone and sent me back to work after only a month, even though it is recommended to not return to active work for 6 months. He also said I could do anything but tackle football (his words). The bone herniated again and he did nothing for 6 mos. and the damage was irreversible. Don't use this doctor!!
