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. Irwin provided excellent care for me recently when I needed knee surgery. I highly recommend him.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Irwin?
Dr. Irwin contacted me the day before my surgery by phone. Felt very good to have spoken to him before meeting him. He also forwarded a video to watch, which answered a lot of questions I would have had. The day of the surgery he visited me while I was prepared by the nurses. Very nice, professional and personable doctor. He took the time to explain everything he was doing and made me feel very comfortable. Would recommend him to anyone having surgery up at Barton Hospital at South Lake Tahoe.
