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.

Best of the best.
From the time you walk into the lobby and are greeted, then with the short wait time, then meeting the nurse that is so professional and friendly, and finally meeting with a great doctor that knows his stuff. I have all the confidence in the world that I picked the right doctor.

Excellent Experience!
Dr. Pahl listened well to my concerns and offered a non-surgical approach, which delighted me. He remains available as needed.

Everyone was prompt, caring, and quickly collected the information Dr. Paul needed. I was treated promptly and sent on my way with instructions to call and come back if my pain was not resolved.

One week follow-up after surgery
X-rays show my shoulder is healing well and I was able to discontinue use of immobilizer harness and begin light usage of the arm.

Understanding
Everyone worked with me at my pace and waited until I was ready to move and only moved me how I said to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Pahl has also been very patient and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend him and his staff!
