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.

Excellent. He repaired a shattered kneecap. Upon return to my Orthopedist in Bay Area, 7 other Orthopedists review the pre and post op X-Rays and absolutely marveled at the brilliance of his surgery and the techniques applied. It took 3 years of PT to return to skiing however I have skied for an extra 11 years following Dr Alexander's surgical intervention.
