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.

Felt very rushed and did not answer my questions. Zero compassion about pain I had experienced. Never even introduced himself when entering the room as I was a first time patient. Seemed concerned about getting the appointment over. When I questioned him, he seemed annoyed that he had to explain more in depth. Might be a good surgeon but does not seem to enjoy interactions with patients. Very disappointed in this physician.

Had a combination of injuries compared to a high speed car impact. Met me immediately, did flawless surgery, called to check on my progress and started tennis conditioning without pain once released to play. 20 years later and never had an issues and actually range of motion even better than ankle without surgery!

Had bunion repair with hammartoe repair. About 6 to 7 sutures were not removed soon enough. Skin grew over stitches and were then literally dug out in office. No numbing medicine used. Very painful. Doctor kept saying "Come on. Can't be that bad." Zero care or compassion for this patient despite his mistake.
