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.

She is very professional, very attentive and remarkably attends to patients needs. However, the schedular staff lacks patience, lacks good communication skills and etiquette. They rushed through calls, unmindful of patient’s concerns and needs. I find them with rude behavior. Phone calls for appointments should immensely require good, effective communication skills, patience and good manners.

Dr.Karen Evenson is the best Orthopedic surgeon. I was in Monday March 6 for my hip replacement and Wed the 8th of March I was home. Natural pain but nothing more. She is a tiny doctor but can do miraculous surgery. She is the BEST of The BEST. I mean it. Takes good care of her patients I wish I could write more but the BEST of the BEST Of The "BEST" is great for me.
