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.

Would not choose this doctor again
I was referred to this doctor for follow up care after visiting the ER due to a broken collarbone. Dr. Pettett dismissed all my pain as to be expected and did not ask additional questions that I would have expected considering my age (61yrs) and the severity of my accident that resulted in the broken collarbone. I told him I am experiencing numbness in my left toes since the accident, and he said that is probably to be expected and would go away. I do not have any visible injury to my toes, foot or leg-I do not see how numb toes would be "expected" and should at minim warrant further questions or investigation before just dismissing as "normal". It seemed that he was more worried about me being a drug seeker than actually concerned about my injury. I will have to finish my care with him due to workers compensation, but I will not willingly choose this doctor again if I need an orthopedic doctor in the future.
