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.

Dr. Olberding Surgery Experience
My whole experience with Dr. 'O' and surgery was the best I have ever encountered. He was extremely professional and explanatory, complemented by a wonderful bedside manner. If you find yourself needing assistance in his fields, you can't do any better in my opinion. Thank you Dr. O.

Almost painless hernia repair!
Just went to my follow-up appointment with Dr Olberding. Let me back up and tell you that my experience of surgery with the Da Vinci Robot was amazing. Literally no pain in recovery and within 5 days I was back to a normal daily life, with the exception that I should not lift over 20lbs. From the 1st consultation to the follow-up visit six week post surgery it has been a great experience. I highly recommend Dr Olberding for any of you surgery needs.
