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.

DR. Otto performed a hip revision on my right hip three years ago. I was exceptionally pleased with Dr. Otto and his staff. The surgery and recovery were flawless. I intend to ask Dr. Otto replace my left knee when the time comes. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Otto is an amazing, no nonsense doctor who takes time with his patients instead of shuffling them off to his staff. He personally addresses all concerns you may have with preventative treatments, pre-op & post-op planning & recovery. Even though I had significant concerns with having RTKR at my younger age of 48, he expressed my options in realistic terms I could understand. This included a plan for my impending LTKR when WE thought I would be ready. I would recommend Dr. Otto 100%!
