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.

Knee Replacement Surgery
Dr. Ladner listens and explains everything in a down to earth manner. I wish they had more stars to give him. He really cares. My surgery was picture perfect. I had a great experience which now allows me to do things I couldn’t before my surgery. Thank you so much Dr. Ladner !

Hip replacement
On May 31 2024 Dr Ladner did a complete total hip replacement on me. Fantastic Dr. I was walking 2 hours after surgery. Never felt so good. If u r in need of a bone specialist look no further. He’s the best by far. Thank you Dr Ladner and everyone that took care of me. Love y’all.

Dr. Ladner is definitely one of the best doctors we have ever encountered! I took my 81 year old mom in to see him for knee and hand issues. You could tell he was genuinely concerned about her. He was very knowledgeable and up to date with options and offered practical medical advice. He even pulled up the closest P/T on google maps and showed my mom how to get there! He looked you in the eye and had great bedside manner-- a truly caring doctor. We both sing his praises!

My husband was seen by Dr Ladner on 6/6/19. I am a retired nurse so I can be fastidious of care provided and demeanor of medical personnel. Dr Ladner immediately made us feel welcomed and at ease. The doc explained his plan of action leaving us with a feeling of success to eliminate the suffering my husband had endured. Dr Ladner is kind, caring, knowledgeable.

Amazing.....Amazing.....Amazing! This doctor is incredible. My dad was in an accident that broke almost every bone in his body. His legs were so broken and Dr. Ladner put him together like Humpty Dumpty, he has been going non stop ever since! He is down to earth and precious. We were blessed to have him work with our father and I don't think there is a better ortho dr. Anywhere.

I actually liked Dr. Ladner but after being told that now I was an established patient I could call and get right to his assistant with questions I find that not to be the case. I had to leave 2 voicemails for his nurse before I received a return call. She told me she needed to speak with Dr. Ladner and would get back with me the next day - that was 5 weeks ago and I am still waiting. I changed doctors because of the lack of response by his office personnel.

care philosophy

As a trauma surgeon, I usually meet patients for the first time following an accident or injury. It's very important to spend time with them and make sure patients have a clear understanding of the injury and treatment options. I always respect their wishes along the way.
