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.

Blew out my acl and MCL. Was quick to do surgery. Doesn't listen to your issues though. He is very quick to blame other things other than a mess up. He also does not communicate well in regards to pain management or the physical therapist. Really dissatisfied with this entire process and I'm not sure if I'll be able to play sports again because of the paralysis left in my entire leg after surgery.

Visited Dr. Durbin after several days of knee pain. My Appointment was scheduled the same day. During On line check In one of the questions asked was your expectation of the visit. I thought this very important question to ask to inform the doctor of your expectations. Dr. Durbin diagnosed my problem and corrected it. If needed, I will definitely visit Dr. Durbin for future orthopedic needs.

Dr. Durbin will take the time to listen and understand all of my concerns and issues, and answer any questions I may have. Also, although he is a surgeon, he doesn’t automatically suggest surgery first, but offers other forms of treatment options, and provides the pros and cons of each. He has an excellent bedside manner, and makes me feel at ease when treating me. That includes today, when he performed knee surgery on me! I would definitely recommend him to others with knee and other orthopedic issues.

I have been a patient for over two years. Very pleased with Dr. Durbin and all supporting staff. Quickly and accurately diagnosed my condition. Last visit my arrival text somehow was missed and I waited in car until I sent a second text 20 minutes later. Only major disappointment is they ceased accepting my UnitedHealth insurance last year and only accept my current insurance Aetna Medicare for office visits but not for surgeries.

Went in with knee pain to the outside of the kneecap. Difficult to walk especially downstairs. Oredered an MRI to see if a floater was there, there was none. Gave me a shot of cortisone and some exercises to try. Better and hoping as time goes by will continue to improve. I appreciated him listening to my concerns and ailment.
