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.

Ineffective surgeon.
Follows a protocol that only uses imaging and not patient's ability to function. Caused harm by not doing surgery resulting in inability to exercise and then developed high cholesterol, heart disease, osteoporosis and reconditioning. Also too full of himself and doesn't listen.

Highly recommended Surgeon!!
I have been a patient with Dr Star for many years.and extremely satisfied with his abilities and knowledge! He first fixed a bimalloer ankle fracture in 2003 for me. He successfully replaced both of my knees and now I am planning to get a hip replacement. I would not choose any other surgeon to do all this for me. I appreciate his friendly compassionate bedside manner. And kudos to him for having the same staff supporting him all these years. Each of them is a shining star!

There’s no one like him…
Dr. Star is an extremely gifted talented doctor. He takes the time to explain things to you and is very patient. His surgical skills are meticulous. I had one hip done with no complications. Hopefully I will get a knee replacement soon.Do not hesitate to use him. You will feel very safe under his care.

Five stars for Dr. Star
Dr. Star has a sterling reputation, and it's well-earned based on my experience (right hip replacement). Everything was clearly explained, no rush, no push, and the surgery was as wonderful as surgery can be. Shout-out to the entire staff at Rothman-Doylestown for professionalism and kindness. I tossed the cane after 2 weeks and was virtually back to normal at 6 weeks. Great doc, great crew.

Hip Replacement
I would highly recommend Dr. Star if you are in need of a hip replacement. Dr. Star did my right hip four years ago and now he replaced my left hip. I am two weeks post op, no meds and hope to be off the cane this week. He will listen to you and try to answer any questions you may have. His staff is knowledgeable and extremely efficient.

Hip Replacement
I highly recommend Dr Star and his surgical team. They are the best. My hip replacement surgery was one year ago today. It went smoothly and was very successful in every way. I took no narcotics only acetaminophen to control pain and for only 2 weeks. I can do things now that I haven’t done in a years. I should have done it sooner. If I knew how good the outcome would be, I would not have waited as long to move forward. It took a few months to feel good as new. Within a few months I had no discomfort at all and no awareness that I had an artificial hip. I highly recommend Dr Star if you need a hip replacement.

I managed 17+ years of increasingly difficult and painful walking, standing, and sitting following a serious injury to my left hip sustained during a car accident. I finally decided to have a hip replacement surgery and chose Dr Star as my surgeon due to many positive reviews from his patients that I received on his surgical skill, bedside manner, and superior technique of a frontal approach to hip replacement surgery. I was able to walk pain free and with excellent mobility again within a day after my surgery. I remain very grateful to Dr Star because I'm still experiencing the same highly positive outcome now, 11 years after my surgery!

Dr Star is fantastic!
Dr. Andrew star is excellent! He did my hip-replacement surgery a year-and-a-half ago, and the difference has been like night and day. I am so much better off now. Recently, I have returned to Dr Star to receive his A1-rated care - this time for my knees. I have the utmost confidence in Doctor Star's knowledge, expertise, professional demeanor, and friendly manner. Doctor Star is the entire package - one great orthopedist. Furthermore, I feel strongly in favor of the Rothman Institute.
