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. Van Gorder did right shoulder surgery on me. the scarring was minimal & the recovery was fairly quick. Each & every appointment I ever went to has been on time. He explains anything you need explaining as well as his staff. I travel an hour to go to him & highly recommend him (and I work really close to the Guthrie). The chiropractor I work for also recommends our patients to see this orthopedic team as they are top notch!

Dr VanGorder performed ACL surgery on my daughter when she was a sophomore in HS. He did amazing job and went on to play the next 2 HS seasons of field hockey, and then on to a D1 college and only missed 1 game in 4 years. So, I had no hesitation seeing him when I needed a hip replacement. He is thorough and understanding. My recovery time was way beyond my wildest dreams and I attribute that to his skill as a surgeon. I always recommend him to others .
