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.

Great Doc
Not only is he GREAT, but so is his Nurse Practitioner. Quickly identified my problem as a Baker’s Cyst, suggested injection as first line of treatment. Had it done & it hasn’t hurt since. THANK YOU

Dr. L’Hommedieu is awesome!
Dr. L’Hommedieu did my hip replacement 6 years ago. After a routine checkup I also wanted to get my knee checked out due to some pain. Dr. L’Hommedieu always takes time to visit and answer any questions. He has the best bedside manner! I was so lucky to become his patient when I first started to have hip pain years ago.

New patient office visit
My experience as a new patient was exceptional. The front office staff were friendly and efficient. There was no waiting (even though many patients were coming and going). The nurse and x-ray staff were welcoming and professional, and again, very short wait times. Dr. L’Hommedieu reviewed my x-rays, clearly explained my treatment options and answered all my questions. I am very pleased with the care he and his staff provided and I am glad to now call him MY doctor.

Excellent Doctor
Recent visit with Dr. L. was great. He is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The treatment plan he started for my knee pain is working very well, discomfort is significantly reduced. He answered all questions and I am confident with his recommendations if any further treatment is needed. His nurse Jenna was wonderful, listening carefully as I described my condition and skilled at administering the injection. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Dr. L’Hommedieu
I saw Dr. L’Hommedieu for a painful arthritic knee. I anticipated either an injection or surgery. He gave me 3 options and explained each of them thoroughly. I chose the prescription he recommended and am now pain free. He was professional, engaging, and took the necessary time with me. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dr. L’Hommedieu is AMAZING! I could not be happier with my experience with him. His staff is wonderful too! Dr. L’Hommedieu gave me a total hip replacement in July of 2023 due to congenital hip dysplasia. He literally gave me my life back. I have absolutely no pain now! I will be forever grateful for him!
