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.

I had Arthroscopic Surgery on my knee. The procedure began at 7:30 am, and I was at a football game by 7:00 pm. My knee felt better post-surgery than it did pre-surgery. Minor swelling and very manageable pain. Not only is Dr. Zafuta a great doctor, he also has a great personality and bed-side manner. The surgical staff was great. The CRNA was amazing. If you need orthopedic surgery then he's the guy to go to.
