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. Cared about my back problem.
The staff was prompt, friendly, and courteous. I highly recommend the doctor and staff.

Professional and excellent patient care
Dr. Dejardins was very thorough describing my injury and treatment options. He took the time to answer my questions so that I had a clear understanding. His expertise and experience gave me confidence when choosing my treatment option. He is very fine doctor.

First Visit
Dr. Desjardins took the time to listen, review X-rays from my vascular surgeon and scheduled a follow up MRI, determined to find the culprit. Dr. Desjardins is very kind and thoughtful. In addition, I would like to mention the staff. Five Stars!

I highly recomment Dr. Desjardins
I began seeing Dr. D. for my lower back issues. I have less pain and discomfort since starting treatment with him. I was so impressed, I scheduled an appointmet with him to discuss my ankle issues. He is the third physician I have seen for this problem: one being a podiatrist, the other an orthopedic doc. Neither of those doctors took time to share pics of my X-rays and thoroughly explain my problem. Dr. D took the time to, not only explain my issue, but also to make certain I understood what was going on and the treatment options available to me. I highly recommend him.

Great doctor!
Dr. Desjardins is very personable. He listens intently as you describe your symptoms. He takes the least invasive approach to your care to start. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

Dr Desjardins is the best!
Recently visited Dr Desjardins for a painful stiff knee that I assumed was a bad osteoarthritis flair up. After reviewing my previous x-rays and examining my knee, he determined my pain was due to fluid buildup in that knee. He recommended an aspiration of the fluid, after which my problem was completely resolved. I am so thankful for his skill and appreciate his calm and caring manner in which he dealt with this patient.

Worth the drive
For insurance purposes, we had to drive over 40 miles to get my son an MRI procedure. Apron meeting Dr. Desjardins, we are discussing making the drive again to schedule him to take over the care for my son’s injury. He went above and beyond making my son feel comfortable.

Left hip, knee and shoulder pain
My visit on Oct 24 was to review next steps primarily for my knee. The knee has been getting worse and a limp has developed after 30 minutes of walking along with the knee partly collapsing. We discussed the possibility of a replacement. Dr Desjardins believed that we should try another procedure first which involved a steroid shot . He will order a “lubricant “ to inject in November. He believes this may last 4-6 months. This writing is two days after the steroid shot and the pain has reduced significantly and included a 60 minute gym workout yesterday. My son is a doctor and recommended Dr Desjardins. I can see why—his professionalism, knowledge, and patience are the best. His Physician Assistant was perhaps the best I’ve ever experienced.

Dr. Desjardins is an outstanding physician. He treats you as the most important person on his appointment schedule. He explains everything in layman’s terms so you walk out with complete knowledge of your problem. I recommend him to anyone seeking an answer for their health issues.

Thrilled with my experience!
I had been hobbling around for 3 weeks on a bad knee and eventually decided to go to OrthoCincy as a walk in. I was seen right away and everyone was friendly and smiling. After quickly getting X-rays, I was attended to by Dr Desjardins who identified the problem immediately and treated me. Within an hour I was walking out without a limp and felt like dancing. The doctor was kind and patiently answered all my questions. Next time I won’t wait so long. I highly recommend Dr.Desjardins and the staff at OrthoCincy!
