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.

Very happy with our experience with Dr Sugalski! He took care of my mother's broken hip. Very informative, great communication, great bedside manner.

I liked Dr. Sugalski so much I not only had him repair my right shoulder damage, I came back three months later and had him fix my left shoulder. It's been over a year and everything healed up fast and I had tiny scarring. I would recommend Dr. Sugalski to anyone needing orthopedic surgery of any kind.

I was told by another surgeon that I may be too old to benefit from meniscus surgery and was able to see Dr. Sugalski for a 2nd opinion. He did the meniscus repair and the resuts were perfect. Quick recovery, so happy with the results.

Dr. Sugalski performed a hip replacement for me, and I have nothing but praise for the whole experience. He listens well, seems genuinely concerned; the surgery went well, my scar is minimal, my recovery has been easier than I could have imagined, and his follow-up is thorough.
