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.

Incredible Dr.
Dr. Zirschky is an incredible Dr. He explains your situation very well. He is a great surgeon too! I had the best knee surgery ever. He also was my Dad’s surgeon and he did so much to help him!

Did not explain treatment options for missing cartilage in hip joint. I went elsewhere and need a total hip replacement. For toe injury, he said to “rub it” to make the pain go away. I went elsewhere, where I received an injection that eliminated the extreme inflammation. Although he ordered xrays, including for the shoulder, what good is that if he doesn’t even mention treatment options. I ended up getting actual treatment and proposed solutions elsewhere.

Thoughtful, experienced, skillful surgeon with patient-centered approach. Dr Z has operated on both my knees; though it's early after the second knee's repair, early signs are excellent and there's already functional improvement. A physician myself, I highly recommended Dr Z for his ability, integrity, and compassion.

Dr. Zirschky is a skilled surgeon and I have confidence in him for my second knee replacement surgery. The right knee was replaced 4 years ago and now the left knee needs to be replaced and he will do the surgery. He is compassionate and caring. I have recommended him to others. He has assisted me in a renewed active life and am very thankful for his skill. Heidi Graves

I appreciated Dr. Zirschky's direct, professional and yet, personal, approach to my need for a complete shoulder replacement. He and his staff prepped me with the necessary information to make an informed decision, but did not bog me down with any unnecessary details. They answered all my questions and took note that I was anxious about the procedure and the expected results. They took the time to go over the details when I started asking pointed questions and alleviated my concerns on a pers
