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.

Terrible surgeon
My sisters back was ruined by the surgery he performed. He has no empathy for his patients in pain! I have also met at least 3 other patients that have been under his knife that have major pain or damage! I can’t believe he still has a license to practice! Shame on Riverside medical for keeping him employed!!!

Dr. Roach should rethink his life. Everyone I know knows somebody who this guy tortured. If you let him be your doctor, you deserve to die.

I DO NOT Recommend this Doctor at all. My mother has been going to Dr.Roach for some time now and just had her 5th surgery on the same knee, 2 which were total knee replacements and now he’s telling her that he wants to do surgery again because he doesn’t like the way it’s healing mind you we’ve been telling him it looked infected since the first week after surgery. Her f/u appt was not until 10 days after surgery even and didn’t want us to change the bandages or anything since surgery.

Makes you wait 1-2 weeks to be seen. Office staff is extremely rude and not compassionate in the slightest. (Only dealt with them over the phone). Ultimately, I called another Ortho and they did a STAT referral and got my an appointment in 2 days. I don’t recommend this doctor.

I am sure that he is a skilled surgeon; however, he disrespected my wife just after my surgery-after I began to wake up. She simply asked for some paperwork to be signed and he turned away from her and said no I will not do that in an aggravated tone. Also, I have asked to get a medicine change and he has ignored my request. It has been several days now and I still have heard nothing from him or his staff. I called my Pharmacy to see if an order was placed and they said no. I don't recommend him

Very disrespectful and inconsiderate of client's pain levels. Said I was exaggerating, had surgery and attended all my physical therapy and they even mentioned that I should've been feeling stronger, surgery must have not made a difference. Terrible people person. Wait for 2+hours to see him for 2-3 minutes and ignored when asking questions.
