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.

In 2006 I had my right knee replaced by Dr. Healy. He was honest and explained the procedure precisely. I was impressed with his surgery. I did not have any complications. Now I require surgery on my left knee.

I had 2 total knees done at the same time by Dr. Healy when he was at Lahey Hospital in Burlington MA some years ago. Dr. Healy was the only doctor who agreed to operate on both of my knees at the time. Due to I have Lupus SLE & severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. He took a chance on me and even though it has been years. I am truly happy, joyful and truly blessed by this doctor. So again Dr. Healy thank you for giving me a better quality of life. God bless you always and keep you safe, healthy.

6 weeks ago I had a Total knee replacement done by Dr. William L Healy of the Kaplan Joint Center @ Newton Wellesley Hospital. He is professional, patient, personable and brutally honest. I say that because without that I may have been a different patient. His professionalism and honesty has me at six weeks and pain-free and I credit Dr. Healy with an honest timeframe on pain and mobility...That is not to say it didn’t take work...But with his guidance and support I am walking pain free ...??

Bill replaced my right hip over thirty years ago and is still going strong! Pretty good when originally told that replacements are good for only ten to fifteen years.

I had a simple hip revision performed by Dr Healy two years ago. I've had problems with the hip ever since. I recently consulted three top orthopedic surgeons to determine what the problem is. They were unanimous in concluding that he cut far too much muscle during surgery, and that he used the wrong prosthesis. The result is that after two years of aggressive physical therapy, I still have significant abductor weakness, and the hip often partially dislocates. DO NOT USE This surgeon.
