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.

Excellent, best doctor! I was blessed that he did both my knees. Excellent outcome !

Fantastic! On August 7th I started my journey to have 2 knee replacements. It is Now November 22nd and I'm walking pain free. He listens to his patients, explains the procedure and his openness and availability made my experience a great one. His entire staff are friendly, courteous and polite. It was the smoothest I have ever experienced. He is an artist with a scalpel. Thank You!!!

The Best
He explains everything to you, why, when, how...even explained why a particular knee implant was no longer being used. This will be my second knee replacement with him and he remains a top notch professional.

Surgeon Van Der Ven outstanding professional. Competent, Thorough, engaged Recovery from Surgery exceeded our expectation. 2 days on Walker and walking 4 plus miles daily prior to 6 week post op. Was able to manage pain without any narcotics since the pain post surgery was less than before surgery
