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.

Shoulder CT scan review
Dr. Humpherys gave me a very thorough overview of my scan and explained what my options were to make it better. He was very professional and was able to answer any questions I had about the procedure and recovery. Very nice guy and easy to talk with.

Arrogant, impatient and dishonest
I went to monument ortho after having to make a visit to their ER dept due to a bike accident. Dr Humphery was who I was forced to see even though I asked to see a PA of orthopedics. Nonetheless, Dr Humphery was very curt, rude and also blatantly lied about ER not taking x-ray's of my shoulder (that was injured) just so they could run up another bill for their ortho dept. I already had 2 shoulder X-rays done at ER which cost me almost $400. He also billed me for over an hour long visit, even though he was trying to condense our surgical consultation into a little over 1 minute. I ended up going over to Black hills ortho where the experience was night and day, and stiffed monument ortho on the bill. Humphery's is a jerk and a quack who could literally make your life worse if you were misfortunate enough to be scammed into surgery by him. Stay Away!

Although I haven’t had surgery yet, so far him and his team have been nothing but awesome. Great hospitality and you can tell he's very knowledgeable in what he’s doing from the way he talks about everything that their going to be doing for my procedure.
