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 waited less than 10 minutes in lobby an was in room less than 10 minutes to receive injection. Dr was kind an efficient an injection was pain free. Staff an nurses kind.

Repair rotator cuff and bicep tear
Great pre operation info. Explained that this is a 12 to 18 month total recovery. Dr Mark Gorsche is extremely professional and friendly. Every one of his staff have been great to work with. Now at the six month mark and I have already met all my goals that I hoped could maybe happen in a year. Chainsaw, skid loader, sawmill and log splitter. Still need to favor it a bit but I am so far ahead of where I thought possible!I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of this surgery and I highly recommend Dr Gorsche!Thanks for all your help and care!

I came to Dr. Gorsche for a 2nd opinion. After the first visit he became the primary opinion. Throughout multiple visits and two surgeries (left and right knees) the interactions were positive in all ways. He listened. He explained. He encouraged. He made me feel ok putting my health, and possibly more, in his hands.Further, the nursing staff, reception staff and surgery coordinator were extremely effecient, professional and pleasant to work with.I highly recommend Dr. Gorsche and his staff.
