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.

So happy with the excellent care by Dr Skaggs

My daughter has gained back her confidence since having her surgery with Dr. Skaggs. Him and his staff heard our concerns and frustration and acted on finding out what was wrong with my daughter. For that my family is forever grateful..

All of the staff involved in my daughter's surgery was outstanding. They were so kind and compassionate and really took the time to talk with us and make us feel comfortable. Our family feels so blessed to have found Dr. Skaggs. It is rare to find a doctor that gives you gives you so much of his time, sits down with you face to face, checks in with you by text message after surgery, and gives you his phone number day or night for questions. He is absolutely amazing and would recommend him to anyone in need of these services.

We were very nervous about X-ray results and if surgery would be needed. The doctor and assistant both put our minds at ease about my daughter's decision to not have surgery until she is ready and just wait and keep monitoring.
