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.

The Mero Mero
I went back to Dr. Long to have surgery on my second knee so I could be happy with the first surgery. I had surgery 2 months ago and the Doc didn't fail me. For knee surgery it is the Mere Mere

A doctor who cares and is highly skilled
Dr. Long gave me my life back. I was born with hip dysplasia on both sides, with the left side being much worse. I'm an athlete and I'm naturally not inclined to do any kind of surgery unless there is no other way. I had lived with very bad groin pain for a few years and after two visits with Dr. Long I decided to do the surgery and it's been incredible what a difference it made! My joint is now just as flexible as it was when I was a teenager. He's also a very caring and attentive doctor with excellent bedside manners. For being a surgeon, he's remarkably conservative in regards to doing surgery. He will never push you to go ahead, but leaves it up to the patient to determine when the time has come. To him, surgery is truly a last resort. His surgery technique with robotic assistance makes the whole process much easier to recover from; he's an absolute expert in his field and on the forefront of research as well. You're lucky if you have him do your surgery.

Best Hip Replacement Surgeon Ever!
I had my hip replaced by Dr. Long in 2017 when I was 51 years old. I am a Yoga Therapist and I found him through my student who was his former nurse. She begged me to go see him as she watched me struggle with movement. He took one look at my x-ray and said I needed a hip replacement. Two months later I got my new hip and my life back. I love Dr. Long and his passion, big heart and the way he cares for his patients are so comforting. I am traveling, climbing, walking, and exploring this big beautiful world again!

If you are considering knee replacement surgery, there is no reason to consider any doctor other than Dr. William Long. He is a pioneer in robotic knee replacement surgery, his diagnosis is diligent and in depth and he will compassionately walk you through the procedure, what to expect post surgery and how to proceed with your rehab. I got lucky when I was referred to Dr. Long. I can't imagine having had my surgery done with any other orthopedic surgeon.

As I am scheduling my third replacement by Dr. Long, I can only say without reservation, he is the absolute best. My first replacement was Jan of 2009. I have never had a complaint about anything. I trust Dr. Long with my upcoming surgery.

When my Mum snapped her implant off her hip back about 11 years ago, we waited 6 months to see him. Complex case, revision. He was then well -known as a revision specialist. A Doctor who fixes things other doctors can't or what they messed up His manner is so humble, his approach so gentle. We owe him Mum's ability to move these last 10 years. Excellent quality and great results. 10 out of 10!!

Dr. Long is one of the top surgeons and I am speaking of my experience with him a year ago. I had a congenital hip dislocation since birth and lived my whole life with a limp and pain which got worse as I got older. I had my surgery a year ago and I am painless and able to walk miles and miles. I was ready for surgery the first visit I had with him and without fear. I am so blessed and grateful to have him as my surgeon. He deserves ALL THE STARS and the MOON!!!
