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.

Trustworthy And Compassionate
Very impressed with Dr Menke and his staff after I was injured. He was very thorough by taking x-rays in his office to make certain no fractures had been missed at the emergency room. I particularly liked that Dr. Menke showed me my x-rays while discussing his insights about them. He and his staff were very compassionate.

Worst Doctor EVER
First visit was over 2 hours. He was rude. Would ask me a question and during my answer he waved his hand and said that’s enough. Wouldn’t answer my questions. Rolled his eyes at me. Was disrespectful by constantly typing on his laptop. Pretended to check me by waving his hands over my feet but never touched them. Would tell me one thing then tell the workers comp people something completely different. After my first visit I requested another doctor, was denied by workers comp. So I had 3 more miserable visits. He’s a liar. He doesn’t care about people hurt on the job. During one visit he asked how I was doing and I said I’m in pain, his response was well that happens at your age. I said not until this happened I didn’t have any. That was an uncalled for comment. This man is why people don’t trust doctors.

My experience was very positive. Dr. Menke is very efficient. I had horrible back pain and he gave me injections. I will continue to see him and would highly recommend Dr. Menke.

Dr. Menke has been my orthopedic Dr. for years. I don’t think you find any who is better at back surgeon. He has operated on me twice because of degenerative disease. He is just really smart and know what he is doing. He will never operate on you unless it is necessary. Has kept me walking a long time.
