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 knee surgeon
My visits are always on time and Dr. Ransone actually talks to you and cares about you. His staff are pleasant and efficient. If you need knee surgery this is your choice.

Extremely Friendly Doctor
Dr. Ransome put me at ease when he gave my shot in the knee. I was very frightened about the shot. It helped to have a friendly face and a kind smile when he gave me the shot.

My First Visit
Dr. Ransone was excellent in every way. I had X-rays to diagnose my bursa issue. He took a lot of time to explain what the tests showed and gave me options regarding my treatment.Focused on me as a patient and I’d highly recommend him!

Total Right Knee Replacement
In at 6 AM and back home before 1 PM with a new knee via outpatient surgery at the Southpoint Surgical Center. Dr. Ransone did a great job with minimal swelling and great suture closing which made the rehab process more efficient.

My first visit with him and it was incredible, he took quite a bit of time with me, put up with my frustration of chronic pain and genuinely understood, sincere empathy! He will be my hip and knee doctor from now on.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Ransone, his PA, Brittany and all of the staff were extremely kind, thorough and professional. Had my full knee replacement surgery on a Wednesday and the nurses at recovery and discharge walked me through what would be required to have me discharged the same afternoon. Discussions about expectations were on point, and although I knew the next couple of days would be difficult, I looked forward to recovering at home. I got the sense that Dr. Ransone may differ a bit in his prep, surgical, and post-op approach compared to other specialists that friends or family had used, but his confidence and reassurance were comforting. He was a perfectionist. I was in good hands. He wouldn’t close me up until it was perfect. Today, just 5 days after surgery, I had my post surgery PT evaluation and was told I was a week ahead of schedule in my recovery!!!! Thus, the proof is in the pudding when it comes to a job well done and a satisfied client. I would highly recommend Dr. Ra
