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.

Amazing surgeon. Before I chose him I researched him. He has trained at all the top Orthopedic and Medical schools on earth. He finished Tops in his class everywhere he went. He operated on my knee and totally cured my issue. He was as professional as any doc I've ever seen. He is a very straight shooter and will not tell you "Just what you want to hear" He called me after surgery on my cell phone after my surgery just to check in. He is no nonsense and handles what he has to handle. If all docs were like him the world would be a better place. Didn't hurt that he's also very handsome

What stands out the most to me is when he personally called me before I was leaving for a short vacation to let me know the results of an MRI I had before surgery. Had he not called, I am sure I would have worried about what the results would reveal during my vacation. In my view he cares more about the patient than his personal time. I am very happy to be in his care. He has fixed my knee and repaired a shattered clavicle, enabling me to continue with my many sports activities.

My Grandfather fell and broke his hip.He is eighty years old and was very scared and concerned about his quality of life after the fall. Dr Puniak was not only patient, kind and understanding, but after replacing my Grandfather's hip, Grandpa is doing better than ever!! Thank you Dr. Puniak!!

I am a professional athlete. Dr Puniak was referred to me by the coaches and other players. He is a brilliant surgeon with the ability to get us back in the game without any complications every time. I am not looking for a Doctor to coddle me or entertain me, just take care of the problem, and get the job done. There is no other surgeon i would ever go to, he is the best!

He is a no nonsense type of surgeon. He required me to lose 60 lbs. before he would do my surgery. I can't thank him enough for being adamant about this as I have lost over 100 lbs. and now I don't need the knee surgery! He was excellent in monitoring my knee and has made himself available if I need to talk to him. Office staff is very highly organized.
