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.

knee repair
I am writing this review after skiing for the first time since I injured my knee 15 months ago. The first orthopedic doctor I saw suggested I take lots of acetaminophen and wait until my knee got bad enough for a replacement. Dr. Ruzbarsky thought he could repair my knee. Because I chose Dr. Ruzbarsky, my knee feels great and I’m skiing instead of sitting at home just managing my pain. THANK YOU Dr. Ruzbarsky! You helped me return to a high quality of life.

Hip Surgery
Dr. Ruzbarsky replaced both of my hips two years apart and I can say it was a life changing event. I was very active four years ago and my left hip when I was on crutches and recently on my right hip. I have no pain and am slowly going back to bike riding, working out at the gym and will be cross country skiing this winter. I feel like I can do almost anything, but am following Dr. Ruzbarsky's advice to wait three months before upping the activities.
