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.

Best Orthopedic Doc Ever
Dr Foulk is one the the best you can find. I have been to him for multiple issues and he is always on top of things. Knowledgeable and personable. I have many friends who also use Doug and they love him too.

acl avulsion
He is a really good listener and explainer. also, he really pay into details on my case. I had an acl avulsion (with acl fully intact). I did MRI and CT scan to confirm the details of the fractures and he also did some physical test to confirm. From there he decided to not go for surgery and let my bone in braces, straight for 6 weeks and really hope the bone will heal fantastically. Im now at my 9w post injury and everything is on track (now im on the weaning off the brace stage). I really hope that this will heal perfectly and not affect my acl in the future. At last, i really recommend him for anyone who needs!

Got right to the point!
Dr Foulk wasted no time explaining exactly what was wrong with my shoulder, and what he would need to do to fix it. He asked me questions to make sure that I understood what would be done during surgery, and explained what to expect afterwards. I was very comfortable with him performing the surgery, even though it was my first time meeting with him.

He seems to have attention deficit,
He talks too much and too fast,does not give you a chance for questions. One minute he is in fron to you and next he disappears, someone has to go look for him. He gave a pain shot, but I read what he gave the medicine was too diluted with lidocaine, so not very strong, so it has been 3 days and I am still in pain. I am thinking of changing doctors.

Knowledgeable and experienced
Dr. Foulk is thorough during his conversation with you explaining first what the rotator cuff is and does, and what an injured rotator cuff looks, feels and sounds like. As he explains, he draws a picture too. It is nice to have a visual to help understanding of what he is explaining which, by the way, he does in language that you can understand. He informs you of all steps of the process before, during and after surgery. He ensures your questions are answered as well. I felt very comfortable and at ease with Dr. Foulk.

Hope and understanding
We were greeted with enthusiasm that was like meeting an old friend. The news and knowledge that Dr Foulk gave us was filled with hope and understanding. Sadly he needed to hand us off to another surgeon. We did not leave Dr Foulk's office until he made sure that I would be taken care of quickly.

Great doctor!
Dr. Foulk is great! He operated on my daughter for a torn ACL. He has amazing bed side manners. He answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable about the repair. We felt very confident with his abilities to do a great job on the surgery. Follow up was great as well, he was very thorough about checking to make sure she was healing correctly. I would highly recommend him.

Shoulder and knee
Dr. Foulk has performed multiple surgeries on myself as well as my husband. We would not keep going to him if we did not trust and believe in his surgical expertise. He has worked on my shoulders as well as my knees. I believe and trust him to provide excellent care.

Lucky to find Dr. Foulk
my son had trouble with his Knee for about 6 months we were told by my sons physician to do therapy and rest which is not realistic for my 16 year old who cannot stay still, we met With Dr. Foulk who did an MRI and seen my son had a torn patella he recommended PRP tx which we had awsome results from. Dr. Fulk had more relistic tx options and expectations sense he has kids that played high school sports
