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.

No one better.
The BEST doctor. Period.

When it hits the fan, he's my man! My body is just about shredded, and Dr. Islinger has been instrumental in conjunction with the guidance of God Almighty himself, in keeping me on this side of the dirt until the job is done. Absolutely the finest physician anywhere! Blessed to have him.

Dr. Islinger performed arthroscopic knee surgery on me followed by a series of cortisone and lubrication shots. My pain diminished almost completely and I can live a normal life again. He is always so kind and takes the time to explain everything and answer all questions. A+ rating!

I first had the pleasure of meeting Dr Islinger around 1994 (?) My memory is not quite so good these days. Dr. Islinger repaired a torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder. A few years later, I had the right torn rotator cuff repaired by Dr. Islinger. In the years since, I've had an occasional shot of cortisone in one shoulder or the other. Also, because I have severe pain in my neck and lower back, he referred me to a Neurosurgeon. My daughter has seen Dr. Islinger on numerous occasions also.

As a 72 year old with a tremendous enthusiasm for martial arts, for my daily four mile walk, and for my daily one hour swim, I am hugely indebted to Dr. Islinger for the outstanding job that he did in performing two surgeries on me that allowed me to return to my active life style (total knee replacement and repair of a badly damaged rotator cuff requiring 7 anchors!). His kind, caring, assuring approach helped to make the best of a very challenging situation. He is an outstanding professional

After having two knee replacements & looking forward to a left hip replacement I am very confident that Dr. Islinger is the surgeon of choice for this procedure.
