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 professional and caring. He was easy to talk to, he listened to my concerns. I felt confident that I had been sent to the right doctor for my issue. I immediately felt welcomed by his staff and that I was their only focus.

I have been seeing Dr. George for several years for a knee condition. When I had a situation with my shoulder I was delighted to find that he also treats shoulders. Dr. George discussed the condition and agreed on a treatment plan. He also discussed next steps if the treatment was ineffective. As usual Dr. George’s PA was terrific with the administration of a cortisone shot. Check in and check out is smooth and efficient and office staff is courteous and helpful. I highly recommend KSF and Dr. George.

Dr. George is THE BEST! He takes the time to answer all your questions and concerns. I have had many knee surgeries and now I am faced with bone on bone and terrible pain. I have been doing steroid injections which is providing some relief until I am mentally prepared for knee replacements. Dr. George has been very patient and understanding. He truly is THE BEST!! I couldn't of asked for a better Ortho Doctor!

After suffering for years with knee pain and being afraid of a total knee replacement I made the perfect move by seeing Dr George. From the first visit to the surgery, recovery and physical therapy it could not of resulted in a better outcome. His entire staff (especially the physical therapy team) treated me with respect and professionalism.

Dr. George took the time to review my knee X-rays in detail and answered all my questions. The staff was great especially the x-ray lady. Didn’t over sell me at all. His PA is great also.

I can not get any help filing the insurance. All I get is letters from the insurance company stating that the office is not providing needed information. It has been more than 6 weeks. All I get is the phone tree.
