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 Thomas was thorough and proactive about the complicated surgery my knee required. He went above and beyond to turn a Volkswagen into a Porsche. Thank Dr Thomas.

I worked with Dr. Thomas as an Orthopedic Sales Rep for many years, then chose him as my treating surgeon following a near-fatal car crash. I had many fractures that required many surgeries. He is amazing and I'm treated like family by his staff. I nearly lost my leg, but now don't even have a limp. My arm has full rotation and I'm golfing once again. Having called upon all the Doctors at SPOC over the years and stood in surgery with most, it was Thomas I called to when it really mattered.
