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.
Very nice, very tall, very knowledgeable about my condition and explained my condition with drawings on the parchment paper on the exam table. I left feeling much better about my condition.

I had been to this office the times before for a possible broken bone in my right hand/wrist. Jelsema was the first one to show me the x-rays (which were taken the different times) and explain what they were looking at and were they thought the break was before and after it healed. He went on to explain why he thought I was still having problems and showed me on the x-rays where he thought the issues were.

Very pleasant professional and detailed. Made sure I understood the next step and the unknown of my healing. Talked to me at my level and not over me and at me. I really appreciated that.
