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 Listener and Informer
Like his calm and relatable demeanor. Answers all questions at the level you're asking them from. No BS. I trust this gent.

Dr. Eskildsen
The professionalism was apparent - from the nurses to the surgery. The actual surgery itself was super - clean and the spinal injection was administered very well.

Dr. Eskildsen was very thorough and explained my situation. He was very gentle when he gave me a steroid shot. I was expecting it to really hurt, but it didn’t. If my problem flares up again I will definitely see Dr. Eskildsen again!

Caring and Attentive
I have been getting treated by Dr. Eskildsen for a year and a half now and he has never once tried to push towards surgery as a first option. He provides alternatives and weighs the pros and cons of them and helps you decide what would work best for your situation.He just operated on me last week for a meniscus with multiple tears in it and I am thrilled with how it went. My pain has not been unbearable compared to the same surgery that I had done 14 years ago on my other knee - that was horrible. I cannot recommend Dr Eskildsen enough if you are having orthopedic issues. Go see him, you will get the care and treatment you need to get back to normal.

Trust and Confince in Dr. Eskildsen
I had an excellent experience during my recent visit to the doctor's office. The doctor took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, breaking down the medical details in a way that was easy to understand. He didn’t just provide a diagnosis but also offered clear insight into how my condition could progress and the various treatment options available. What really stood out to me was his approach to decision-making. He emphasized the importance of considering both the medical facts and my personal circumstances when making the next steps in my treatment. This helped me feel more in control of my healthcare decisions.The doctor encouraged me to ask questions and never rushed through the consultation. I left the office feeling well-informed, confident in the options available, and grateful for his compassionate, patient-centered care. I feel that I can now make a thoughtful decision about my next health choices, knowing I have the necessary information and understanding.
