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.

Very disappointed with how I was treated, I had a knee emergency and only wanted Knudson to take care of it, his nurse won't even call me back, I get the whole virus thing going on, but really what is the difference if I would have gone to emergency room or if he took care of it, I would have been more exposure there then in his office, I really think it could have been handled better. What ever happened to doctor that takes the oath to take care of his patients, I have been seeing him for like 20yr. I guess that doesn't matter these days, I really hope Dr Knudson see this post.

Dr. Knutson is well trained (residency at Mayo Clinic) and practiced here in the Cedar Valley. We are blessed with his presence in the community. You will have to travel far and wide to find anyone as good as Dr. Knutson.
