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.

Misdiagnosed my mother with Bursitis instead of Arthritis. Gave her a shot in the muscle instead of the joint and allowed her suffer for an entire 2 weeks. She was in so much pain she couldn't walk or move her left leg. She went back and he said she might have arthritis...so he gave her a shot in her joint....told her to wait another 2 weeks to see if this would help. Refused to give my mom anything for the intense pain she is in...she still can't walk or move her leg. If nothing improves in two weeks, he will start the process of getting BCBS to approve gel injections that take 4-6 wks. So my mom could be any where from 4 wks of not being able to move her leg or walk to up to 8 wks. No pain med, no xrays, no real diagnosis. Oh and the gel might not work...she might need a knee replacement...but he isn't sure....but who cares....he isn't the one in pain.

Knee replacement surgeries on both legs (two different surgeries) were excellent. From the beginning and well-after, Dr Hobbs stands out in his communication and involvement with his patient.
