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. Sultan is a brilliant surgeon. Two weeks after a total knee joint replacement I was walking without a walker or cane. Expecting to drive at three-week mark. Dr. Sultan and his team are kind, caring and compassionate. I highly recommend him.

Just great
Dr Sultan gave my wife a new hip 2 months ago. Recovery was amazing. She walked within an hour of surgery and had almost no pain. He came in after surgery to check on her and make sure she was comfortable. I’m so happy we chose him.

Great Doc
Dr. Sultan is an amazing physician. When my knee was very painful he performed an injection with the use of ultrasound and it completely took away my pain. Thank you you Dr. Sultan.

Dr. Sultan surgically repaired husband's broken ankle & replaced both my knees. Excellent & expert care. Surgery & recovery went just as he described. Office staff is pleasant & easy to deal with. We will continue to recommend him.

Dr. Peter Sultan has operated on both my left and right knee. In 2014 I had my left knee replacement and in 2022 I had my right knee replaced. Both operations were very successful. I am very pleased with Dr. Sultan's professionalism and highly recommend his expertise to anyone seeking orthopedic assistance

Who?
He may be a great surgeon but his communication with patients and their families is none. Surgery is over and he is out of the picture. Called service 2x left message with operator and I never received a response back.

Appreciate Dr. Sultan taking time to go over my diagnosis clearly and treatment options. I was referred over by my general doctor and can see why. Highly recommended. Great medical office, wonderful and warm experience from start to finish.

Genius
This doctor is without question a genius. He takes care of my entire family. I feel I am lucky to have found Dr. Sultan. And as a side note, he is incredible on the piano (I found some videos of him playing on the internet and what a set of hands he has).

Big rush doctor . Wasted my time
I went in because I have a torn muscle or ligament. He kept twisting and moving my leg around saying my hip is fine. I told him pain is on inner thigh and he kept checking hip. Did not listen to my feelings or thoughts at all. Just took about 20 X Ray and looked at two. Was in such a rush. Really bad experience. Wasted my time and 25$ copay.

BEWARE!!!
BEWARE!!! Peter Sultan is not a good doctor. He treats you like you're just another # He doesn't look you in your eye and rushes through your appointment like he has better things to do. He doesn't let you respond fully to his questions before cutting you off and moving to another question. Because of this I was misdiagnosed and sent to physical therapy for the wrong ailment. My knee finally locked and I had to go to the emergency room. I then went back to him and again he was rushing through my appointment and not fully listening to me. When I asked him to please let me finish my sentence, he said he's the doctor and knows what he's talking about threw a tantrum, left the room and told me he wouldn't be able to see me and I'd have to "make another appointment because he had to go to his daughter's game and she was depending on him." I literally could not walk and was using crutches because I had a complex bucket handle torn meniscus which he initially diagnosed as a strained ha
