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.

Comprehensive
Dr. Groover spent a lot of time with me and reviewed my entire history, current functioning, options, and goals. He is holistic in his approach. I like that he developed a plan involving nutrition, strengthening, exercise, pre-hab to postpone surgery but that also made me strong and ready once surgery was necessary. He did soft-tissue saving surgery for my total knee which means my recovery was shorter and less painful. Highest marks!

Best experience!!
From the minute I walked in the doors of Ortho Montana to my final check up, I was treated professionally and with empathy. I had been to two other consultations and limped away feeling like a number and with two completely different diagnoses from the same practice. Upon meeting Dr. Groover, I knew I was in good hands. He looks you in the eye, he is honest to the max and followed through with every single thing he said and did. Knee replacement is not for the weak by any means.....would I do it again?? Yes, 100 times yes, it has given me my life back. Thank you, Montana Ortho and Dr. Michael Groover, I recommend you every chance I get!!

Very unhappy with visit
I seen Dr Groover last week. He refused to do anything to help my knee pain due to my weight. He said that I would have ro lose 40 to 60 pounds to have surgery as he said he does not do surgery on anyone that has a bmi over 45. He told me I sm bone on bone in the knee and have a torn meniscus and spent like two minutes addressing the real reason that I was there which was my knee. He spent most of visit going over ways I could lose weight. He was pretty rude about it. If they knew he wouldn't do surgery why did they put me thru two visits with his PA, and x-rays and an MRI that cost me $2,000.00 out of pocket? I had my other knee replaced 5 years ago and I am only 5 pounds heavier than that now? I was in tears when I left. I will NEVER go back to him and would not recommend him to anyone. I normally love Ortho but he wad a huge disappointment. No empathy for his patients at all

Dr. Groover did an exceptional job performing my total hip replacement surgery. The recovery process was much quicker that expected and my incision is healing wonderfully. I would recommend Dr. Groover without question.
