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.

This is my second hip replacement by Dr Nygaard. The first surgery was 16 years ago with absolutely no problems. He explained the procedure thoroughly and I highly recommend him.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Nygaard?
Dr Nygaard is patient, kind and a consummate professional. His office staff is unfailingly polite and friendly. I seldom wait more than five or ten minutes to be seen. I have had several surgeries with Dr Nygaard and never a problem. With his help I recovered quickly and completely. I would recommend any of my family or friends to him and be confident of their care.
