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 had an appointment set with this doctor and missed it as I had an extenuating circumstance. I received a voicemail asking that I call back and reschedule as I had one attempt to do so. I needed to see this doctor so called back to reschedule my appointment. The receptionist that answered advised me that he had already “written me off” and I would no longer have any option in the future of seeing him. This is the American health system, sadly. Stick with a doctor that cares about medicine.

I had my R hip and both knees replaced within a 6 month period of time. I can't speak high enough of him. I was a complicated case and he has given me my quality of life back. I have referred friends and co-workers to him because they have seen how well I have done.
