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.

Ten years later and still in pain
Dr. Sauer did a knee revision on my right knee when he was in Illinois affiliated with Rezin Orthopedic. I have had severe pain since. A specialist in knee revision and my physical therapist read his operating report on me. Sauer cut in three places to make his surgery faster and easier for him, leaving me in constant pain for the last 10 years. He left Illinois to go to Wisconsin weeks after my surgery. No dr. would even accept appointments from me for at least a year after surgery. A group of three dr.s would not even take an appointment for me because they had read the operating report. Please consider not going to this dr. His concern is for himself and not his patient!

His office staff was fantastic he on the other is just the opposite. Thanks to him I am now crippled, what started as routine turned into a TKR and was sent home with infection in my tibia. Before I reached the rehab stint the Doctor took off out off state to Wisconsin.
