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.

Wholeheartedly Recommend Dr. Darr
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kevin Darr to anyone seeking orthopedic care. Dr. Darr has been my orthopedic doctor for many years, and I am so very grateful once again to him and his entire staff for my most recent procedure.I recently underwent total knee replacement and cannot express strongly enough my gratitude to this practice for their attention to every detail before, during, and after my surgery.After my surgery, Dr. Darr’s staff called me at home several times to make sure that all was going well, and his office was in turn easy to contact and highly responsive through phone, text, or website when I did have questions or concerns.Finally, I would like to say that in addition to their expertise and professionalism, this is truly a group of kind people. Literally every one I have encountered on his staff has been friendly and compassionate. Dr. Darr and his entire staff work together in order to achieve good outcomes for all of his patients!
