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.

We visited the Emergency at Sutter Lakeside hospital on Saturday with our Son. He had broken both bones in his left arm. Dr. Pospisil was amazing with our son. Made sure he was pain-free and was very professional. NO NONSENSE. My husband and I have both suffered bad breaks before and we knew we had a top-notch Orthopedic doctor taking care of our son. I want to thank him so much for everything you have done for him.

I was referred to him by an ER doctor when I fell and broke my leg. I found him to be reassuring, kind and told me what to expect and what to do to help myself thru it. I think he is wonderful. Nice office staff too.

Just wanted to reach out and thank the doctor and his staff for their service. In 1993 I broke my leg playing high school football. Dr. Pospisil went above and beyond his duty to help with my recovery. 24 years later on my 40th birthday I ran and finished my first marathon. The quality and caring mentality of him and his entire staff will always be remembered in my heart. Thank you.

I visited Dr. Pospisil's office because of the pain I had in my lower back. He is such a great doctor and he has an amazing staff. He really helped me with the pain and now I'm much better, all thanks to him.
