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.

Dr Makim is great.
Dr Makim has been preventing me from having a knee replacement for a few years now.I needed one awhile ago but we've held it off with cortisone injections, the HA injections. I've also gone to physical therapy and have finally come to the point where I do need the surgery next year, 2025. I'll be posting here afterwards.

Can’t say enough about how good this guy is. Very thorough and extremely educated in what he does. I totally detached my tricep from my elbow and he explained exactly what he needed to do and executed the procedure perfectly….

Dr Makim is the best! A+++
Dr. Makim is awesome. He takes time to explain what’s going on, and what our best options are. He really listens to my concerns and questions and has a great, personable vibe which puts us at ease with the whole process. Both my husband and I have been in his care and have had him perform surgery on us at one time or another over the past 20 years. We highly recommend him. We love Dr. Makim!

This was not only the first time I visited Orthopedic Assiciates, but also the first time I required orthopedic care. I found the entire staff friendly and professional. Dr. Makim was very friendly and informative. He made me feel very comfortable and ensured all my questions were answered before I left. I would definitely recommend Dr. Makim and the entire staff at Orthopedic Associates.
