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.

Got me in quickly and was very informative about options and procedures.Staff were also very friendly and concerned about my issue.Great overall experience!

I can't thank the doctors, PA's, nurses and staff at SC Sports Medicine enough. Dr Hulvey and his team diagnosed my problems, Dr Wartinbee and his team corrected carpal tunnel in both hands and Dr Dalton & his team corrected a torn rotator cuff. Highly recommend this entire team.
