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.

Dr. Kauwe has been amazing. He has fixed my ankle after ortho montana did nothing for over 9 months. I am so grateful to have found Rimrock Podiatry. I now can look forward to no more pain in my ankle. He is an excellent surgeon. His office staff are very kind and professional as well

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kauwe?
I wish all doctors were like Dr. Kauwe. He is the epitome of what we all want in a doctor. Had surgery for bunions and hammertoes on right foot, recovery was rough but not Dr . Kauwe’s fault, He is caring, professional, an expert and best doctor I have ever had, seriously. Do not get this surgery until absolutely necessary but when that time comes, Dr. Kauwe is the best.
