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.

Great doctor
The staff was very nice, quick and professional. I didn't wait very long at all before I was seen. Dr Larson was very friendly, professional and I knew exactly what to expect for recovery.

Dr. Lawson is awesome!
Dr. Lawson did an excellent job replacing my knee. I am improving more every day and look forward to completing a full recovery in a relatively short period of time. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of a joint replacement!
