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.

The worst experience ever with a doctor
I was referred by primary care physician. I was lied to from the outset. I was specifically there for gel injection. Found out that he doesn't do that. He is a arrogant disrespectful doctor with no bedside manner. I felt disrespected, he should have is medical license revoked. Unprofessional inept and a true quack in every way possible. I am so glad that I didn't have him touch me or my knees, what a incredible waste of time.

Last year I was t work. And out of no where my knee started to hurt and slip. I literally could not put too much pressure on it. Went to the emergency room. They took a x-ray and said i had early arthritis which scared me. Because I'm only in my 30s. Went to Dr. Woods he assured me that what they said was not true. So to make a long story short. He took good care of good ed side manners. I'm happy I went to him.

Dr. Wood is a very through and down to earth doctor. He’s very knowledgeable in his profession and his bed side manners is exceptional. Dr. Wood replaced my right knee in the spring of 2017 and I’m walking just fine. He’ll be replacing my left one in May 2018. I highly recommend Dr. wood to all whom need his services.

In march of 2016, I was lucky enough to be directed to Dr. Wood Jr. when I needed to have emergency surgery on my right side of my hip. He did the necessary procedure, and I have been walking tall without the use of my cane they assigned me. Thank you Dr. Wood Jr. Ken Forbes Jr.
