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 appreciated the time Dr Pyfrom spent with me. He explained my x-ray and gave me information about a total knee replacement. I will consider the procedure in early spring. Thank you.

He's very friendly, takes time to listen to my concerns, never acts rushed when talking to me, and works with me until I feel comfortable with procedures and preparing surgery. He shows concern about my pain, and before and after surgery show concern for my comfort.

Unlike the last doctor, he was patient. Explained procedures step by step, explained pros and cons, and never felt like he was rushing me so he could get to hos next patient. He was very courteous.

Time wasted
I've waited over 6 months to see this doctor for the first time who came highly recommended from my primary care physician. I had a 10:30 am appointment and was not seen until 12:15pm. Doctor walks into the room texting on phone. He spent more time on the phone then listening to my concerns; I had to ask are you listening to me? Was very disappointed and will not be returning. Still not sure of what my concerns are; left with no explanations or good advice to my problem. Just give my copayment away and charge for service that was waste of my time.

Appt was for 10:30 am. Still waiting 12:20 pm. Better time management is needed. Or don't over book. Unfortunately, though a good doc, likely not to return. The appoinents were running all 2 hours behind.

My first time visiting Dr. Pyfrom’s office. The office was neat, clean and staff was courteous and professional. My wait time was reasonable. His staff was great , especially Tiffany. I needed to fill out paperwork and didn’t have my glasses to see how to fill out my forms,? Tiffany completed my paperwork with a pleasant attitude. I felt very comfortable being my first visit. I highly recommend his office. Thank You Dr. Pyfrom and Staff. A very special thank you to Tiffany .

You can sense that he genuinely cares about his patient. I had no problems after Arthorpy of my knee. I had no surgery scars after the healing process. He is a very skilled surgeon.
