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.

Knowledgeable, articulate and kind
I appreciate that Dr. Emerson takes the time to explain my diagnosis and my options for treatment. She is does NOT talk down to me and she is very kind. Very pleased with the results of my surgery.

I had a labrum tear repair with anchors and a bursectomy. Dr. Emerson answered all my question, great communication before and after surgery. I had a great result and couldn’t be happier. I used Advanced Orthopedics for my PT. I had a great experience and great result.
