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 have been a patient of Dr. Hickman's over the last 20 years for different orthopedic problems I have incurred. I find him to be a very good doctor and I like his personality. I would highly recommend him. He has never steered me wrong and listens to you carefully.

Skilled, compassionate and able to quell fears of his patients loved ones. When my 93 year old Aunt fell, I called him from the emergency room and he came in and did her surgery the next morning. This is despite the fact that Dr. Hickman was not on duty that next day. Obviously, his surgery was fantastic, because my 93 year old Aunt who hip was operated on was walking within 10 days. What a doctor!

I absolutely trust Dr. Hickman's judgement and feel he really cares about his patients As a hip replacement patient with some serious joint and bone complications, I feel he has always been honest in offering an opinion on the best course of treatment. He takes his time to explain and has good sense of humor. .

If you've been hit by a car and injured this Dr. Will ignore your pain and injury and avoid needed MRIs and physical therapy. He is for saving insurance companies money.he failed to diagnose that my knee was fractured by not ordering MRI timely and ignoring severe pain. Now my knee is permanently injured and painful.
