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.

Great doctor and experience!

Wonderful Physician
Dr. Neelay Thakkar, MD from Orthopedic One is extremely kind, understanding, patient and explains everything so there's no surprises. I would be thrilled if all my doctor's were as considerate and as well a listener as he is. He listens. Takes in all the facts from paper, observation and the patients input before coming to any conclusions or making suggestions. I would highly recommend him. I am disabled with several issues and one major one are my severe panic attacks which require me to use a service dog. Dr Thakkar put me at ease so my anxiety was more manageable than many other places I'm required to go. I'm very grateful.
