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 surgeon who cares about his patients

I went to Dr. Houghtaling wanting a second opinion for a wrist fusion. He is an extremely great physician. He explained the procedure in detail, what type of procedure he uses for a fusion, what he would recommend, my options other than surgery. He is so compassionate, caring, a good listener, with a good bedside manner. He's smart and I have to say he's also so handsome. I would recommend Dr. Houghtaling hands down!!

I had been dealing with a elbow injury for almost 3 years, been to other drs for it and they were very rude and had a horrible bed side manner as a dr, then I found Dr. Houghtaling, the BEST, most nicest, professional dr I have ever met! And he cares and listens to what you have to say and answers your questions, I will recommend him to anyone I know! That is how appreciative I am of him for fixing my elbow for me

I strongly believe that Dr. Houghtaling is an extremely great doctor. He is very personable and listens to what you say. He takes his time to understand your condition as well as spends enough time explaining what treatment he recommends. He has very good bedside manner. I would strongly recommend him to anybody having issues with their hand/wrists.
