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. Wiseman did a total reverse right shoulder replacement on me July 2021. I admit I am 70+ female with not wonderful bones, but the surgery was a total failure and I had to have it redone April 2023. The pieces had separated and come apart, screws were in the wrong place. Indeed, one screw had to be left in the bone because removing it could have caused massive bleeding. Suffice it to say I did not have confidence Wiseman could do the repair surgery and so I saw another doctor not in this practice group.

Excellent Results
Dr. Wiseman performed a total knee replacement. It went extremely well. He took time to explain what needed to be done and I had excellent results. His staff was pleasant and helpful and visits were not hurred.

Dr Wiseman is a great surgeon! He has a wonderful bedside manner, takes the time to listen and answers all questions. He is friendly, knowledgeable and simply treated me very well. After surgery concerns were handled expediently. The staff is very efficient, friendly and caring. They even have a fun sense of humor which I appreciated while getting my stitches out. No, I didn’t want to have ACL surgery but I feel super blessed to have had him as my surgeon. I highly recommend him.
