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.

Recommend Often
Dr Mullen replaced my knee in 2018 and four years later it is definitely my good knee. It doesn't stop me from doing anything. Going in this week to see what can be done with the other knee. My wife got her frozen shoulder fixed a couple weeks ago and already has much greater range of motion. This guy is good. Recommend highly when ever I get the chance.

After having a torn meniscus repaired 10 years ago, my knee pain gradually returned and a friend referred me to Dr. Mullen. At my first visit xrays were taken in his office and he explained that bone-on-bone osteoarthritis was causing my pain; he then explained the treatment options available to me. I elected partial knee replacement, which was done 6 1/2 weeks ago and I'm more than pleased with the care I received and the outcome. After 6 weeks of PT, I've now regained full mobility and am able to walk without pain for the first time in months. I can't recommend him highly enough.

If it were possible to leave zero stars, that would be my preference. The office manager Teresa seems terribly put out by her job. I booked a surgery 6 weeks in advance. 2.5 weeks before my procedure, they called to cancel my procedure because I had a change in insurance. Their policy was that they needed 14 days notice of the change prior to their pre-op appointment, which I called 14 days in advance. Today they indicate they need more time, even though they did not respond for several days to my request nor attempt to contact my new insurance, and unilaterally cancelled my surgery. Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT subject yourself to the unprofessionalism, lack of support, rude behavior and condescending nature of both Teresa and Crystal. It almost seemed as if they are trying to outdo one another with how awful they can be to their patients. There are plenty of good surgeons out there that treat their patients with respect.

Had my Left hip replaced by Dr. Mullen on March 15, 2021. He is a wonderful surgeon and very personable . He is the best. Literature, complete with lots of pictures, was given prior to surgery allowing plenty of time to understand the procedure as well as what to expect afterward.

In 2017, I had both knees replaced, though not at the same time. Dr. Mullen did both surgeries, and I have been extremely happy and grateful for his expertise. How I lucked out and was recommended to go see him, I'll never know. And the therapist recommended was great, too. Anyway, thank you, thank you, and thank you, Dr. Mullen, for all you have done for me. I'd give you ten stars out of five if I could.

Dr. Mullen is an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable surgeon! He provides excellent care to his patients. I have seen this first hand, because I have worked as a Surgical Tech for 4 years at a facility where he operates. So when I had an issue with my shoulder he was the only orthopedic sugeon I would go to. Staff is super helpful and friendly. I had a shoulder scope done and I was pain-free one week after surgery and never needed Rx pain killers. Now that I have been on both sides of operating room table with Dr. Mullen, My decision to go to him has now been reinforced exponentially! He is the best and my only recommendation to my family and friends

If you’re looking for a second opinion and help with a previous surgery with chronic pain. Don’t waste your time or money. He was useless because he said he didn’t perform the surgery and he couldn’t make any suggestions. I was just looking for help regarding this chronic pain. Would not recommend him.

Unbelievable, Dr Mullen’s Stem Cell Treatments have completely healed my Torn Rotator Cuff with No Major Surgery. I am 69 years old and semi-retired. Most of my life golf has been my favorite sport and time to spend with special friends. A year ago I develop major pain in my left shoulder, after having an MRI Dr. Mullen confirmed that I had developed a torn Rotator Cuff. Initially to avoid major surgery we did steroid injections every 3 months for a year. It gave me a little relief in the beginning but then continued to just get more pain full. I wasn’t able to even lift a water glass much less try to swing a gold club and I wasn’t able to play all year. Golfing with friends was the joy of my life and it was so disappointing when I could no longer get out to play. Now a year later Dr Mullen and I had a serious talk about major surgery to repair my Torn Rotator Cuff. That surgery requires a very long and uncomfortable recovery period. As we were talking in his office, Dr Mullen sugg

I am a relatively active 69 year old male, enjoying camping/fishing, hiking, riding my recumbent trike, and weight lifting. Over the past two years I needed surgery on both my left shoulder and left hip. I consider Doc Dan my miracle worker, he basically gave me back my quality of life. With both surgeries, and I guess this can relate to his expertise and knowledge while performing the surgeries, I did not have to take any pain medication during recovery and rehab, this is a testament showing how good he is at what he does. In addition his professionalism during the consultation and his bed side manners are exceptional. The proof is in the pudding so to speak, 8 weeks after hip surgery I was back walking and fishing at my favorite river location doing what I love, spending quality time with my wife our 2 dogs, being active and enjoying nature. To Doc Dan and all the staff at Mullen Orthopedic, Thank You from the bottom of my heart, you guy’s are great!!!! Allen

Dr. Mullen was fantastic . I work for a hospital so having the ability to work a 12 hour shift with no pain is a blessing. I'm back to all my daily activities thanks to Dr. Mullen. before surgery I could hardly walk my knee would give out and id sometimes fall. I feel I've been given a second chance. Another thing that sets him apart from others is he really listens to you, I had questions before surgery and he sat with me and gave me an answer to them all ,very patient . His staff is wonderful to always greets you with a smile. Also able to answer any questions you may have.

I was referred to Dr. Mullen by a friend after 3 long years of being passed around from specialist to specialist. I was an active person involved in many sports but broke my hip doing a "fun run obstacle course". I had been told that I'd never run again by everyone I'd seen except Dr. Mullen. He never gave up on me and today I'm running again and signed up for a mud run! He was very honest with me and talked to me like family. I appreciated the honesty. I would absolutely use him again!

Had a total knee replacement two weeks ago. Three of my friends had used Dr. Mullen for their knees and strongly encouraged me to consider Dr. Mullen. VERY happy I followed their advice. From my first appointment the staff has been stellar: responsive, good communication, kind and on top of every detail - even the billing. On surgery day Dr. Mullen was excellent. I was home by noon and walking that day. If you want the A-team, this is surgeon to use.
