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 Michael Earle is a great Orthopedic Surgeon with years of experience. He will tell you the truth and not miss anything as he is extremely competent. If you want a good surgeon go to him. If you want a warm and fuzzy doctor who may not be as wise and experienced go to someone else. I knew Dr Earle before I went to him for an emergency accident needing surgery so we got along very well. I want experience and a great surgeon and that is Dr Earle !!

My father was referred to Home Health by Dr. Earle and was discharged from Home Health do to Dr. Earle refusing to sign orders for services he had request and my father was discharge and billed for the services do to the Home Health agency not being able to bill my fathers insurance. I would definitely
reconsider in choosing this physician he definitely does not have the patient best of interest in mind.

Dr Earle has been my orthopaedic surgeon since 2010 for my total knee replacement
He is knowledgeable,informative answers your questions before you have them out.
Recommends necessary tests as needed with explanations for the what and why they are to be done
The negative reviews I saw make no sense for the kind of man and Dr he is.His xray tech is spot on and the epitome of courteous

I can see why some folks might find Dr. Earle a bit off-putting but despite his occasional gruffness I find him refreshingly forthright. Of course, I went to see him for medical competency and not for his conversational skills. He has been uncommonly gentle and helpful to my mother and his radiology staff and office staff have been both personable and accommodating. He's been spot on about all of our numerous broken bones and surgeries and I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Earle is great... he has been my Doctor for many years... thru many different procedures... one of those rare Doctors that will tell you exactly like it is... that is honesty, the kind that I grew up with 50's where the shake of your hands was an agreement that was kept. He is that type of individual not just as Doctor but as a human being.

Office staff and Dr are the best as far as I am concerned. Doctor does not talk down but to you. Straightforward in the conversation concerning my condition. He will spend as much time as needed with you during visit and reviewing your records. Pleasant and friendly and just as importantly he talks pros and cons concerning the procedure.

I should have read the reviews before going. I went into see him about one thing and the visit went somewhere else . He argued with me about what I was diagnosed with very unprofessional.

I would consider sharing and telling my experience with Dr. Earl, because he took a rod out of my leg and I thought that it would never heal, on the contrary Dr. Earl made a believer out of me. I would recommend this Dr. to anyone who is needing any type of a orthopedic attention, I am doing just great thanks to God, and I took my chance looking him up on the Internet and his ratings proved to me that he was an excellent doctor. Thanks, Joe Ray
