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.

Unfortunate
If you care about your health and the health of your loved ones I would suggest finding a secondary option. I was referred to Dr. Uppal and had nothing but difficulty. After being a patient for a few months, I waited over a month for the correct orders to be sent. I simply was never called and given results despite calling multiple times for weeks. I typically never write negative reviews but felt incredibly brushed over by this office despite severe injuries that left me difficulties walking.

Dr. Uppal Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Uppal is Excellent Orthopedic Surgeon that has saved my leg as I had a very complicated event that changed my life. But with his skills and knowledge, he restored a Right Femur fracture that would have had severe complications in my life. I cannot thank him enough for his Professionalism, caring attitude and his ability to fix what i call the "unfixable" I forever will be grateful, and I am very thankful that he was the one that help me with the severe issue. My leg has healed, and I am able to walk again. No words are enough. Respectfully, thank you Dr. Uppal

The office is always packed. Call backs can be difficult sometimes and there doesn't seem to be a direct email or line to an assistant, but other than that, the Dr. Uppal himself is very professional, knowledgeable and relatable. We stayed with him even though he was out of network as our confidence in his abilities made us feel that it was worth it!

Dr Uppal was able to rebuild my ankle that was broken into 20 pieces. I also had two broken bones and a broken shoulder. I am now walking and moving almost normally. I am so glad he was there to put me back together!

Dr Uppal saved my ankle. I suffered a pilon fracture and need a trauma surgeon. He spent a lot of time with my husband and I and answered all of our questions. I’m walking now and headed to a healthy recovery

My arm works because of this doctor, he didn't have much time for me but thats not the point of surgery, I understand he has other obligations. He is thankfully surrounded by great PAs.

Did not meet with this surgeon until after d/c from 11 days of inpatient stay, despite the fact that he did surgery on me. Did not speak with my husband after surgery. Only met him once since discharge and I've had 3 office appointments.
