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.

Find a real doctor
So I partially tore my tricep tendon. It took 10 weeks from my initial visit, to mri to final appointment. He informed me he couldn’t perform the PRP injections at his practice but would recommend where to go. He couldn’t tell me how the procedure worked he just said he knows it works. He never got back to me like he said and I called multiple times. He takes no pride in being a doctor and frankly comes off as an idiot. Go south if you want someone who actually knows what they’re doing.

A++++ Surgeon!!
Dr. Clingsman did my carpal tunnel release surgery. I asked him how many he has performed over the years. He estimated approximately 5,000. Incredible!! He is professional. Explains everything. Very kind and caring. The best ortho surgeon I've ever met, and I have lived in 2 other States, and sadly had 2 other bone related injuries requiring surgery. He is Simply THE BEST!!!

Brilliant
Dr. Clingman has done several surgeries for me after a bad fall, and later after breaking the other wrist. The man is just simply brilliant. One time I started to describe a problem and he instantly pressed exactly on the spot creating it.

I had a fall with a resulting wrist injury - two doctors failed to see that I had torn cartilage that was causing my hand to droop to one side and also causing a lot of discomfort. Dr. Clingman was able to identify and surgically repair this for me- enabling me to have a fully functional dominant hand.
