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.

Dr. Degenfelder has been an excellent provider. He paid close attention to the needs that my wife explained to him regarding an overall treatment plan for my severely arthritic right hip and both knees, and our active travel plans in 2025 through the end of summer. Dr. Degenfelder worked with us to come up with an excellent plan to begin with surgeries beginning in the fall. He clearly explained our options and the advantages of each, and we felt we were working with his expertise rather than him just telling us what we should do. Much appreciated.

This clinic is very professional and people with my sports injury need them. I understood his plans for the next steps but did not appreciate the delays, but since it was my first appointment with him, I was patient with the situation. I would recommend this clinic.

Dr. Degenfelder paid close attention to the info I gave him regarding my medical issue. He listened intently and allowed me to explain my condition in detail. I never felt rushed and felt I had enough time to ask questions or clarify care plan. I appreciated Dr. Degenfelder's willingness to work with us to avoid conflicts with future travel plans
