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.

NOT AT ALL
Poor experience. He didn't examine my knee at all, yet a complete exam was documented in my notes. I called him out on it, and he said'What can I do to make it better?' Hello! Do the exam on the first visit. I cannot recommend him ...

excellent I was eager to return to a highly active healthy lifestyle. Dr. Urish has been the best! After surgery, it is better than I could have imagined. He was highly recommended by friends. I recovered so much faster than my friends that had surgery by other doctors,

Waste of Time and Money
The doctor did nothing but have a short conversation with me about my symptoms. He did not even look at my problem area at all. No examination was done whatsoever. So when I received a bill I then called in to ask about a reduction on the bill, and was told they could not do anything. The assistant then tells me that they examined me walking in the hallway to determine the issue. And also told me that they could not look at the pre-ordered X Rays until I showed up at their office. Result that day was to then send me to physical therapist. This conversation could have been done with a phone call to me instead of wasting my time and theirs.

Went to him because my pcp recommended him .I regret seeing this man so full of himself he thinks he knows it all would not stop talking, I try to explain my pain on my right hip I have been having some yrs now . He already knows what is wrong with me not even examining me surprised. He even had the audacity to say it's drug related. I have never done that ever in my life. Sent me to have an x-ray injection he did not specify how much of each I should be injected....
