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.

Great surgeon
Incredible surgeon. Had tough Achilles tear and he had me up and walking 1.5 months out. Kyle (his PA) is amazing as well. Couldn't speak higher of the whole team.

Dr. David and his entire staff are the best. He repaired my daughter’s ACL tear 7 months ago. We are very happy with the results and the terrific care he and his team have provided.

Dr David is #1
Dr David repaired my torn meniscus and cleaned up cartilage. This issue had gone on for many years. Seen numerous other doctors. I was highly recommended to Dr David and now I know why. He is absolutely a master. Excellent communication and skill. Thank goodness I found such a stellar surgeon. Don’t wait like I had. Here’s your doctor. No reason to put off treatment.

I called to make an appointment as a NEW patient. Only a computer answered and asked me to leave my Name, Date of Birth, Phone Number, etc., and they would call me back in 24 hours! This is LOUSY service! If he's got that many patients.. then he doesn't need me. I'm in EXTREME pain but I'll NEVER accept this type of service anywhere anytime or any reason! I'll NEVER go to this doctor for help inasmuch as if he can't manage his office, I don't trust him!

The office staff was very efficient, courteous and helpful. Dr. David was kind and down to earth. I came to Dr. David because I had two tears in my rotator cuff around 3 centimeter each and a tear in the bicep area. He did his evaluation based on my previous MRI and surgery was scheduled a week later. After the surgery, he said all went well and that he not only repaired the rotator cuff tears and bicep, but he also cleaned out bone spurs and plaque in the rotator cuff area. It now has been 6 months and my shoulder and arm are nearly 100 percent. I just have a little remaining inflammation, which is normal. So, the surgery was outstanding because of the expertise of Dr. David. I thank him and his staff for all their kindness and competency. Steve Musacco

Dr. David repaired my rotator cuff that had supposedly been “repaired” by another surgeon. Then he repaired my torn ACL from a skiing accident. He has also repaired my husband’s knee and shoulder. All of our surgeries performed by Dr. David were very successful, and we don’t hesitate to recommend him to our friends. He’s not arrogant like so many of his peers; he has a great bedside manner. I can’t say enough good things about him and his staff!!

Outstanding Doctor and office staff. Really patient centered care. I've been seeing Dr. David for many years due to knee arthritis. Finally had knee replacement. He is a top surgeon and very understanding and supportive.
