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.

Consistently excellent care from Dr Pelto. He's kind, thoughtful, listens carefully and thoroughly. Great communication. Consistently great outcomes

Doctor did a great job of listening to my understanding of the diagnosis and recommended course of action and clarifying and expanding on what I had said. This was extremely helpful in giving me the confidence to gradually return to normal activity on the injured joint despite occasional flareups of the injury. One of the most informative medical conversations I've ever had.

Dr Pelto was very empathetic and so was his nurse and radiologist who scheduled my MRI's! I would highly recommend him and staff!

Dr. Pelto was very thorough, and did a great job at explaining all of my scans, and what was best for the next step to get me moving again. He was also very clear, about letting him know if things weren't improving so I wasn't hurting and we could make the next step.
