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.

It took 10 months for me to realize the full effect of the procedure. My recovery was consistent through month 6, progress slowed through month 8, but at 10 months I had full mobility with no pain. Dr Derrington and staff were great!

Dr Derrington’s focus is truly about helping the patient. He listened to my medical history, all the avenues I’ve tried (many), and never made me feel rushed or unimportant. Everything and everyone was very professional and I will definitely continue to recommend him to friends and clients as well as continuing to use him myself.

Healed my grade 2 LCL tear completely, after two unsuccessful PRP injections from a different provider. Completely back to normal with jiujitsu, surfing, and weight lifting.

Very good initial exam and diagnosis. The PRP injections were painful. I've had health problems since, maybe coincidentally, but still not diagnosed.
