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.

Do not get knee replacement surgery!
Total Knee replacement surgery was outpatient- in at 6am out by 11am! No physical therapy or home healthcare set up. No follow up. A blood clot and an infection requiring a wound vac and a hospital stay a week after surgery. Dr. Karlsson never called me or checked up on me. He was caring before surgery but after surgery he couldn’t be bothered. A year after surgery, my knee is extremely swollen, buckles as I walk and is very painful. Dr Karlsson says my knee is just fine. Time for me to get a second opinion. Wish I had another orthopedic do the surgery!!

Dr. Karlsson is one of the best doctors my family has ever had the pleasure of being his patients. He is so kind and really listens to your concerns. He has repaired my acl and replaced one hip (other one soon) and has replaced one of my husband's knees (other one soon). We definitely trust him.

First time meeting Doctor Karlsson. Doctor Karlsson my Doctor and in all honesty went to Doctor Karlsonn for an independent exam. A true professional and found Dr.Karlsson n to be honest,kind and trustworthy in a somewhat stressful situation. Probably will not find out the results of the exam,however I couldn’t of asked for a better independent examination from any Physician. Thank you.

Two years ago Dr. Karlsson replaced my hip. I had unforeseen complications but Dr. Karlsson was excellent! His surgical skills and caring manner literally gave me my life back. Six weeks ago he performed a total knee replacement on me. Here I am six weeks later and I've already surpassed where the "charts" say I should be with my recovery. Dr. Karlsson's surgical skills, caring and supportive manner are huge factors in my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Karlsson. I trust him with my life

Dr. Karlsson replaced my left knee 3 years ago and I have been very satisfied. I highly recommend Dr. Karlsson and will be having my other knee replaced in the near future. I feel extremely comfortable with him and his staff.

I have had two surgeries with Dr. Karlsson and have had wonderful outcomes with both. He's great at explaining things such as what to expect and any follow up. He never rushed into surgery which I felt comfortable with and let me decide when the time was good I never felt rushed at any of my appointments. I feel that he's a good listener.. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in a position facing joint replacement. His staff is also great.

Dr. Karlsson. Thank you, Thank you. It's been six months since my new knee, 4 months since I returned to work and it's been fantastic. I'm pain free. It was a pleasure, start to finish, working with you and your whole staff. Thanks again. Sincerely, Don Crabbe

I was a workers comp patient treated by Dr. Karlsson. I felt Dr. Karlsson trusted what I told him and he wasn't swayed by the workers comp insurance company and their nurse case manager and the workers comp doctors. Dr. Karlsson received the approval for all necessary treatment and the workers comp carrier accepted his rating of my impairment from the injuries I received at my place of employment. Dr. Karlsson is a true professional in his field.
