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.

Highly recommend him as an Orthopaedic Doctor.
I feel that Dr. Pifel is very knowledgeable in his field. Giving options to treatment. I enjoy too that he is very personable as well. I came to Dr Pifel after going to another Orthopaedic doctor so I was sceptical. However, after my visit with Dr Pifel, I had confidence again. I’m currently seeing him again to a treatment plan for my hip condition. I highly recommend this group to family and friends. They have followed through and have seen what I see with this group and also dr Pifel.

I met with PA Jason. He is so good at making people feel comfortable. I went into my appointment very nervous, but his calm demeanor quickly changed that feeling. He explained everything well and treated me with a cortisone shot. So far so good!! Thank you!

Fantastic doctor and team
My family and I have gone to Dr Pifel for several of our orthopedic needs over the years. This most recent experience has been the most difficult in terms of severity of my injury. Dr. Pifel and his team went above and beyond to come up with a plan to get me on the road to recovery. We always feel at ease knowing that we are in great care with Dr. Pifel.

Dr Pifel was very nice & concerning
My first visit was very positive. The staff was great . X-ray tech was gentle & kind. Nurse/medical asst was very kind & comforting. Jason PA very informative & nice & Dr Pifel was absolutely all of the above too. I felt very comfortable & hopeful with the plan at this time for my issues & feel if more treatment would be needed I definitely would return to Dr Pifel.
