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. Damer is an excellent Doctor.
Dr. Damer listen and was very caring. He did both of my wife's knees and she is so thankful she can walk without pain.

Knee Replacement Consultation
I am familiar with Dr Damer because he did a hip replacement for me previously that went very well. This visit was for a knee problem. I have confidence in Dr Damer and CIO because of my previous experience and also the recommendation of my family Dr. Dr Damer listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. He is a very good communicator. The CIO staff members are also very professional. I am confident that Dr Damer is the right choice to do my total knee replacement.

In need of knee replacement
From the moment I walked into CIO until I left staff was professional & friendly. Dr. Damer answered all my questions from what needed to happen today forward to what to expect after surgery. Dr. Damer was very personable. I highly recommend.

Very successful knee replacement
My other knee replacement was performed by a different surgeon but I moved. The procedure by Dr. Damer healed faster and better. The aftercare coaching online made a huge difference. I had a minor problem from the dressing, not the surgery, and this was treated quickly, thoroughly and appropriately

Knee pain
Dr. Damer was amazing, needed injection in my knee, but was afraid after having bad experience and much pain from it with another Dr., I hardly even felt the injection, and my knee was feeling 80% better the next day. Would definitely recommend Dr. Damer.

A fine medical professional
Dr. Damer replaced my left hip about four years ago. That procedure was completely successful and eliminated the pain that I had put up with for many years. This week I saw him to look into a problem with my left knee. Once again he impressed me with his knowledge and analysis.

It was my first visit, and though I really liked Dr. Damer, and so far the injection he gave me is working, the rest of my experience was disappointing. His nurse was curt with me and acted annoyed I didn’t bring my previously negative xrays (for which I had the report). I was there over 2 hours, which seemed insane considering most of that time (probably an hour and 45 mins I was in some waiting room.
