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.

Wonderful Doctor
He took time with me and listened. Didnt push the surgery on me like a lot of other doctors do. When we’ve exhausted our options, we moved on with the surgery and it went smoothly. I was back in my shoes in just a month and barely had any pain during my recovery. Did I mention that he did the whole surgery thru just a small incision?!Highly recommend

Wrong size screw
Dr Lapelusa performed a bunionectomy requiring cutting two bones & insertion of two screws on May 26th. He assured me everything was progressing normally & 9 weeks later told me I could resume walking. One month later I was told to put the surgical boot on, use crutches & in my chart indicated he thought the bone was necrotic. 6 weeks later the Orthopedist told me the bone was merely slow in healing, not necrotic & I should resume walking with a carbon fiber insert. On February 5th the orthopedist told me healing was progressing nicely but one screw was too long & would probably need to be surgically removed if the pain continued.
