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.

Very personable
He was very down to earth, explained things well, and answered my questions. He took time and was not in a rush.

Great Doctor that listens.
Not in a rush to get out the door. Explained clearly my questions and was very caring. Great nursing staff too. After knee surgery I had a nurse to call for questions and she was very responsive too.

Dr. Shirley is an amazing orthopedic. He performed surgery on my daughter and son's knee. He is extremely kind and takes the time to explain everything. I would not go to any other orthopedic!

Had an injection in my knee, and the only thing that I would have liked was information on my injection and any possible side effects that may occur. Other than that, I didn't have any negative feelings or thoughts concerning my appointment. Hardly felt the injection, did have some swelling from a few inches above my knee all the way down to my foot. So far, my knee has improved. I am happy with Dr. Shirley's treatments and recommendations.
