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.

I broke my leg down to my ankle and was in the ER for maybe 15 minutes when he said he was taking me right to surgery thank God he did. I have full use of my foot and leg. He is the best I highly recommend..

Awesome experience. Obviously very knowledgeable, very caring and gives you all the facts to allow you to make an informed decision and not push you into surgery. There is no other orthopedic surgeon that I will go to or recommend once I started to see him.

Dr. Witham is an excellent doctor, I would highly recommend him. As a new patient he treated me promptly. He took the time to explain my injury and even researched a surgical procedure that would not leave scars. Dr. Witham’s sense of humor and bedside manor put me at ease. His demeanor is affable, calm, patient, and compassionate. Dr. Witham is a world class doctor, I felt fortunate to find him in Fairbanks.

Dr. Witham has treated me and two other family members. We have been very pleased with the care that we have received. He never rushes the appointments and makes you feel like he is listening to your concerns.

I had surgery done in 2012 to repair my shoulder. It’s been almost 8 years and I am still in constant pain. I have been seen by specialists in other states that cannot believe the procedure and follow up I was given was even done. I will never be pain free, thanks to Dr Witham.
