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.

Dr Michaelson easily answered my questions and is easy to converse with, you feel comfortable. He takes time to explain the processes, and details of the pre-op, op, post op, recovery and PT. He also helped to clear up some of the misinformation I'd picked up online. The Telehealth conference call worked very well and saved me a 3.0 hour round trip from Harsens Island.I've talked with several other family and friends that have used Dr Michaelson their surgeries, and they would definitely use him again.

Pre Op meeting with Dr. Michaelson
Met Dr. Michaelson for the first time for a pre-op visit for my upcoming right knee replacement. He reviewed my X-rays and explained what my knee issues were and how he was going to remedy the problem. He talked about rehab, icing, and anything I needed to know before the surgery. I asked if I being small in nature would affect the implant and he took the time to explain what they do to make the correct fit. I was very impressed with all aspects of the visit.

Amazing Doctor
Telehealth
I had surgery on July 10th for a torn meniscus in my right knee. I went to Dr. Michaelson as he was very highly recommended to me. From my first appointment to his office to learn about the surgery, I knew my search was over, and that I wanted Dr. MIchaelson to do my surgery. Although I knew this surgery was common and the recovery is pretty quick, Dr. Michaelson and all his staff were so great and patient with me. A week after my surgery, I met with Ashley, his Physician Assistant who checked my bruising, and answered all my questions that I had, and told me what to expect during my recovery. Today, I met with Dr. Michaelson for my post op appointment, and once again he was very patient with me, and thorough, with much advice for me as I am nearing full recovery. If I need any more knee surgeries in the future, without question, I will see Dr. Michaelson. He is truly the best!!

I will recommend him without hesitation.
Dr. Michaelson reassured me that the structural integrity of my STRYKER Knee Replacement is intact and should provide 5 to 10 years of trouble free service. Great news.

Excellent doctor
I couldn't ask for better results from both knee replacements. No pain and all was exactly the way it should be. Dr. Michaelson is the best surgeon and I'd reccommend him to anyone. He gave me the information to make up my mind to have these replacements done. Had all the confidence and trust in Dr. Michaelson to do it. He didn't disappoint.
