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.

I like that he is conservative and doesn't go right into surgery. He is also very knowledgeable and explains everything in a way you can understand. He is also kind and doesn't make you feel rushed. Something else I like is that he he gets patients out of the waiting room himself instead of using an aide, so you're not stuck in a boring room waiting on him. I had re-injured my knee several months after it healed and got a new appointment in 2 days.

I immediately felt comfortable when Dr. Van Orden started speaking. He has a down-to-earth way about him and he explained everything about my knee problem and what he recommended should be done. I felt I could speak with him easily. He is very knowledgeable.
