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'm still impressed that Doctor Henderson looked at my x-rays. The morning. I had been in ER and noted that in fact I had a dislocated hip prosthesis. I didn't know Doctor still did stuff like that. It's almost like he made a house call!

I'm from over the mountain (Elgin) and this medical facility was hands down THE MOST EFFICIENT AND WAS AS PLEASURABLE AS A VISIT TO THE DOCTOR COULD POSSIBLE BE. Truly I'm blown away with how well EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT treated me. Thank you so much for that.

I was seen in ER at four in the morning. Dr. Henderson reviewed those x-rays and called me to request that I come in That morning. I knew it was bad news and it was. Any Doctor Who reviews x-rays first thing in the morning is my new favorite guy. I always did like Doctor Henderson and now I love him.

I always get great care with this provider. This time I was scheduled for X-rays, and the Dr forgot to order them. That's why I had to wait for longer.

The visit was a post op visit following a total hip replacement. I had concerns about my leg being longer following the surgery. Dr. Henderson agreed it was longer and advised me to use a lift in my opposite shoe, which I am doing. He explained how this could happen and I mostly understood. I am disappointed that this was the outcome. Everything else about the surgery was very good. I received excellent care
