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.

Best hip replacement surgeon.
Dr. Steven Anderson, AppOrtho in Boone, NC performed 2 hip replacements for me within 7 months apart this year. He did a perfect plus surgery job, and I would firsthand highly recommend him for anyone that needs to experience a better quality of life, away from joint pain.Starting with all his staff; PT, nurses, x-ray technicians, frond desk at Appalachian Otho and all the rest of his team including everyone at Watauga Hospital, it was for me a positive experience. I am pain free now and I only have great thanks for everyone involved in my hip's replacement journey, especially Dr. Anderson.

Dr Anderson replaced my left hip on June 1 2020. I was up using crutches in 2 days and only a cane in 10 days, then without in 14 days, thanks to a well performed surgery and lots of PT. I had no bruising and very little swelling.

Very polite. Explained everything I could understand. And told me it would be in my best interest to have surgery. But I had to make the decision. I had total knee surgery and am glad I had it. I would recommend him. He was great. You just have to do everything they tell you to do. Wether you like it or not. Even if it hurts. I am glad I had mine done.
