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.

I have had chronic knee and shoulder pain from past failed surgeries for several years. Numerous doctors have given me cortisone shots which did not work. Doctor Caldwell used an ultrasound to determine the precise injection site. Today I am about 90% pain free in my knee. Dr. Caldwell is a no-nonsense pro.

My leg will never be the same because of this Dr. I tried to call and leave messages several times and he never returned or replied once. All the hardware in my leg that he installed snapped. Just a horrible experience.

This doc is one of those rare ones who actually cares about his patients AND who knows what he's doing.
