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.
I was disappointed that dr. Sanko said that he is retiring. As far as his duties, he done my shoulder and did a very good job. Just wish he could do my hip. Dr. Sanko will be missed.

I am extremely impressed and am confident in both Dr Sanko and his PA Todd to handle all my structural needs. I like them both and find the care I receive in office and before and after surgeries to be nothing short of excellence.

I trust Dr Sanko to diagnose and treat my joints. However, he and his staff are so busy that no one told me when they were finished or if there was any home treatment or if I needed to follow up with Dr Sanko. I was just left sitting in the exam room.
