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.

Dr. Kearney is an amazing orthopedist, he takes the time to listen to his patients, explains in detail his recommendations for necessary treatments and he's very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone who is experiencing joint pain or is having problems with frozen shoulder. He was referred to me by my physician Dr. Kaylon.

Thank you Dr. Kearney
Scheduler had made a small error with appointment but Dr. Kearney (and Ron) made the effort and got it done anyway. When your visit has to do with pain relief, that’s a whole different level of feeling “cared for”’and I certainly felt that way today. My past appointments have been good as well, but this one was above and beyond and I am most appreciative.

Definitely
Dr Kerney performed a procedure on me 2 mo ago, & he did an awesome job. But unfortunately it didn't help me but he still hasn't given up he wants to see me back in 5 weeks to give me a cortisone injection, but what I like about Dr kearney is that he explains everything why maybe my body didn't respond well to the procedure & that maybe it's scar tissue & it's still healing.
