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.

Cortisone shots in knee and shoulder.
Dr. Vorlicky gives me cortisone shots in my knee and shoulder. I was referred to him by my previous Dr. and am very pleased with his technique! Very gentle and not much pain when applying.I appreciate his knowledge and expertise! I definitely would recommend him! Thanks Dr. Vorlicky!

Bad Advice
Dr. Vorlicky told me that I needed surgery to remove a piece of hardware in my knee, stating that it had 'migrated' and could harm my soft tissue. He also said a few minutes later that down the road, I would need a total knee replacement. I was unhappy with this and sought a second opinion. According to another specialist the hardware had shifted slightly, but no surgery was needed, and knee replacement is always a choice.

A re-check on previous surgeries and new pain to arm. Dr. Vorlicky is always very friendly, asks questions to pin point problem and offers several solutions. He takes a personal interest and is very reassuring. It ys why he has been my orthopedist for over 20 years!

I am thankful I chose Dr. Loren Vorlicky to do my hip replacement. I am only 47 years old (fairly young), but with past hip issues, including a reconstruction of hip in 2002, I had no choice but to live with pain and a limp, or chose a replacement. He is an exceptional surgeon. From pre-op to surgery to post-op, he is a top notch doctor and human being. Worth a consult if you suffer from hip and other orthopedic needs. When and if I need my other hip done, he will be the surgeon to do it!

Dr Vorlicky preformed a Total Left Knee Replacement on me 1/3/2019 By end of April I was walking 8-10 miles per day on a vacation, feeling great. I did dedicate myself to the rehab, worked from home for first six weeks not missing any exercises (3x per day) and working very hard to get my knee extension back. On 11/15/2019 Dr. Vorlicky preformed a micro fracture surgery on my right knee, the purpose of this surgery was to see if we could put off doing a Total Knee Replacement. The challenge of this is I had to be on crutches / non weight bearing for 6 weeks, minimal rehab after that. I am riding my bike 35 plus miles, swimming, working out and knees are great for walking. So great results on both knee operations by Dr. Vorlicky…Thank you! Rick Graf 6/11/2020

My knee injury was painful, just a plate to hold everything in place. A lot of exercises & stretches, but very determined to get healthy. Dr. Did a good job glad it was only added plate.

Dr Vorlicky was the only Dr that I found that would give me a knee revision. It is working very good and coming along as fast as can be expected because of how serious the complications of the old knee.

Did an outstanding job for me on a total knee replacement and a total hip replacement. I think he's an introvert - more comfortable doing surgery than talking with nervous patients. If I want an extravert, I can talk to my spouse. For hip and knee replacements I want a surgeon.
