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.

Excellent surgeon, explained plans, good bedside manner, results for the anterior hip replacement surgery were superb. Totally recommend him for hip replacement. He was trained by the best, and as a patient, I'm very satisfied with the results, including quick recovery time.

Dr. Alton did a great job with replacing my knee
Dr. Alton was wonderful with replacing my new right knee. Lots of things to get around. New right hip, which he replaced two month earlier, rod in the lower half of my leg with screws. He was a champ. Follow up call, received an A. Mobility is great. I would trust him for any of my other operations. Hoping it would not be an option. Dr. Alton gets an A in my book. Thank You

Incredible surgeon
I have had eleven knee surgeries and need one more to replace my right knee. Dr. Alton did a surgery on my left knee in 2021. He is my first choice to have my right knee done. He also takes as much time to answer my questions as I need. I have total confidence in him.

The Best
I had a concern about my recent hip replacement surgery. I was having extra pain. So I texted Taryn, Dr. Alton‘s assistant. She got back to me within an hour or two. She expressed her concern for my situation and was able to get me in to see Dr. Alton the very next day. He put me at ease and made a couple of good recommendation's. I am very pleased to recommend him and his team to anyone!
