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.

One of the nation's best orthopaedists!

That there was a 80 to 85 % chance it would work. Then 7 months later. I asked him why I was in constant pain 24/7 he lied and said I told you here was only a 40% chance of it working. Then stated to me I have no compassion for pain today. pointing at his own knee. .So to sum it he is a liar

Have been to Dr. Ragsdale several times. He has performed three surgeries on me. He's very thorough and patient. As a nurse, I totally appreciate that he has never been rude or condescending and always takes the time to explain every aspect of what is going on. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone needing Orthopaedic services.
