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.

Rude and doesn’t listen
I saw Dr. Girouard just after moving to the area with extreme knee pain. I’d had arthritis for years and had had issues before that after tearing everything in my knee as a kid. He refused to listen to me and instead marched me to the height-weight chart to belittle me about my weight. Losing all the weight in the world will NEVER make cartilage grow back! When I finally was able to get a word in edgewise and asked what we could do to help, he dismissively said cortisone shots were the only option. I left in tears and never returned. Thank God I found a compassionate surgeon years later in Dr. Keen.
