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.

Excellent doctor! I had arthroscopic surgery in my right knee about 15 years ago and I'm still going strong. Dr. Holobinko has a great reputation throughout the community as well.

Dr Holobinko has done 5 of my surgeries. He is the only surgeon I will trust with any future ones. Right now I am facing knee replacement surgery. Dr Holobinko & his Assistant Guy Mazzone are doing what they can to keep me comfortable & to put it off for awhile. Dr Holobinko doesn't just rush you into surgery. He takes his time to help you. I have degenerative joint disease and I'm glad he is with me thru this journey.

Dr Holobinko did an emergency hip replacement on my mother in 2017 after she fell and broke her hip. She had no complications and we were very pleased with the care he gave her through recovery. Last year I began experiencing knee pain and was diagnosed with a meniscus root tear. I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon but I called Dr Holobinko. He did my surgery last week and was able to repair the tear so that I won’t need knee replacement anytime soon. I am recovering well and have only good things to say about him and his staff. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care.

Dr. Holobinko and staff were excellent and my knee replacement surgery by Holobinko was perfect. I had my one year follow-up and he answered all of my questions. Highly recommended.

Dr. Holobinko is the only orthopedic surgeon I would recommend for anyone requiring joint replacement. He listens to concerns and makes decisions based on the best possible outcome. I have been a patient at this practice for several years. My interactions and experiences with Dr. Holobinko and all the staff have all been extremely positive.

I have had nothing but good, positive experiences with Dr. Holobinko. He performed reverse shoulder replacement on my right shoulder 2 1/2 years ago, and I am extremely happy, not only with the results, but also with the care he has given me, before, during, and especially after my surgery. He is also taking care of both of my knees at this time. I cannot say enough good things about this Dr.

He was able to evaluate the x rays and condition of my wife's wrist and do a procedure that saved an operation. The nursing staff said he was one of the fastest workers they see because he is so efficient and able. We are happy with his work.
