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. Knutson and his staff are the best! He has replace both of my knees and I couldn't be happier. The recovery was speedy, the aftercare wonderful. I never have to wait before my appointments and he and Jacob explain everything thoroughly. They never act as if they are in a hurry. I would not go anywhere else.

He did a knee replacement months ago and it's been problematic and painful ever since. Terrible care and apparent lack of concern on his part. I've heard others talk about their dissatisfaction with their surgeries that he did.

  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Staff wasn't friendly

Dr. Knutson has performed two repairitive surgeries for me and is about to do a third (all unrelated). I cannot even imagine going to another surgeon for orthopedic care because he is well qualified and one of the most honorable people I've ever dealt with in my many years.
