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.

Most of the hamstrings on my left leg tore out of my pelvis in a water skiing accident when I was 50. I limped for two years and could not run. Six surgeons turned me down as inoperable. Dr. Wic said he’d operate if I wanted but warned me about all the risks and insisted on extensive PT for several months to get the leg as strong as possible. He did a great job. After rehab, no more limp, chronic pain almost entirely disappeared and I was back to hiking, climbing, biking and was certified and worked as an interior firefighter. Did 12 years as a firefighter before retiring. Dr Wic and his staff were perfect in every way. I am forever grateful.
