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 Sigmund repaired a rotator cuff tear that was 3 years old. Being hinest, He told me he didn’t know if the surgery would work. It is stronger than my other arm, still, 11 years later!

Third Opinion
I visited Dr. Sigmund to get a third opinion regarding potential next steps for left knee which has a torn meniscus and arthritis. I was expecting a knee replacement to be my next course of action, but was pleasantly surprised when Dr. Sigmund provided several more options to consider. I was impressed by his cordial, caring, and professional demeanor. He took the time to listen to me and to explain in great detail other options to consider. He, along with his assistant Tammy, made me feel very comfortable and I appreciate that very much.

Wonderful doctor
Dr. Sigmund did my hip replacement via the super path procedure. The entire experience was so much easier than expected. I was walking without assistance at the 3 week mark. Dr. Sigmund and his staff were all very informative and professional. i did not need to do any physical therapy after the surgery and at my recent 6 month appointment, Dr. Sigmund was pleased.

Dr. Sigmund is wonderful. He seems to really care about what’s going on with his patients. I would recommend him to anyone having knee issues etc. I know from my family using him before he is also a great surgeon.

He was the fourth orthopedist I saw. I did not feel comfortable with the prior ones. A friend recommended him and I’m so glad she did. He is very knowledgeable and caring. I’m a week post op and I know that the surgery he performed and my route of recovery that is planned. will be successful.

Professional
As soon as I walked into the Signature Orthopedics offices I could see they functioned like a well oiled machine. His nursing staff were friendly and efficient. I saw Dr Sigmund. He took his time and patiently listened to and answered all our questions. I’m very confident that he can complete my hip replacement using the SUPERPATH technique without any problems. I’ll be scheduling that as soon as possible.

Chondromalacia of the Patella
I recently injured my knee and was worried that I had torn the meniscus or a ligament. My appointment with Dr. Sigmund was very efficient: it started with a brief health history, followed by a quick x-ray of the knee. He conducted a physical exam after looking at the x-ray, and concluded that the ligaments and meniscus were not damaged. After taking the time to fully understand my symptoms and level of discomfort, Dr. Sigmund, concluded that the kneecap and the supporting cartilage was the problem. He explained my options and I left feeling empowered to start with conservative treatment of physical therapy and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, avoiding injections at this time. We made a plan for reevaluation in six months, and I was very pleased with this outcome.

Highly Recommend!!
I have many friends that have used Dr Sigmund for knee and hip replacement that were very happy. I recently completed my first visit to have to have my my knees evaluated and in the long term will be getting a replacement. In the interim I have been relieved with a cortisone shot and am doing Physical Therapy at Signature Orthopedics to strengthen my leg for future support and have a knee brace to provide additional support during activities. Also was provided with information for two additional interim steps that should delay the eventual knee replacement. Dr. Sigmund and the staff from start to finish was very nice and efficient. Highly recommend!

I chose him over another doctor
I went for a 2nd opinion with Dr Sigmund because I knew I needed hip surgery but the first doctor I went to seemed like I was just the next patient on the assembly line. I met with Dr Sigmund and I felt like he really listened to me and offered something that is rare in the medical field today: sympathy and caring. I canceled the surgery with the first doctor and chose Dr Sigmund to do my hip replacement. I’m glad I did. I would recommend him without reservation.

Update onTHRs on both hips.
His professionalisms and listening to and assessing my concerns was excellent. X-rays showed both hips are doing great after 5 plus years. After listening to my concerns he shared his professional advice and identified care providers within the medical group (Signature Orthopedics) that could further address my concerns.

First visit
Was able to see the doctor a few minutes ahead of my scheduled visit. This was my first visit with this doctor and was concerned that he might want to do surgery on my knee right away. Instead he recommended physical therapy and a series of gel injections to see if it will relieve my pain & restore some mobility. Doctor Sigmund gave me plenty of time and was very outgoing and easy to talk to. I am enthusiastic and hopeful for a good outcome for my knee condition.
