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.

Worst experience
Just left the doctors office with my husband who was in a dirtbike accident on Sunday. He fractured his T8 and T4. Dr. getter come in and said that the ER told him wrong that he would not be able to continue his treatment with him And question why he was even on a dirtbike in the first place. Not sure why he thought that was his business but OK. He said the first step would be to get an MRI but they would not be able to get him in until after a week. I asked if they break would heal wrong in that amount of time- which is a reasonable question. My husband then said he would go back to the ER and get the MRI since it was gonna take that long he then proceeded to yelled at him and told him to “never come back” This is the most unprofessional doctor I’ve ever run a crossed. Do not even waste your time.

I visited Dr Getter for low back issues. He was very unprofessional and rude. Scheduled surgery without prior insurance approval, putting me through Pre-op procedures in-which stopped my anti-inflammatory medication leaving me with terrible pain due to inflammation. I do not recommend this Doctor.

I visited Dr Getter for a knee sprain. After MRI he advised it was a bone bruise that would take 12 months to heal. His diagnosis was right on point. His treatment recommendations were perfect.
