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.

This week I fell again and broke my arm. I went to the ER and was diagnosed with a broken arm. They put on a splint and told me to see an orthopedist asap. I chose Dr. Shaer because of my good experience with him in 2014. He took off the splint, examined my arm, had me do some motions, and told me to come back in a week. I am allowed to do whatever I can do without pain. I like his approach: no surgery unless absolutely necessary; let Nature do the healing; listen to your body.
