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.

Great Surgeon
Dr. Kiburz did a full shoulder replacement less than a year ago. Pain is gone and I now have almost full range of motion. I couldn't be happier with the result. I'm considering moving back to NM as my other shoulder is becoming worse so that I can have him as my surgeon again.

Dr. Kiburz and his medical staff are professional
Dr. Kiburz and his medical team immediately prepared me for my surgery. They made certain I was aware of the entire medical procedure for my rotator cuff surgery, they have very professional bedside manner. They educated me about my prescriptions, physical therapy, how to contact Dr. Kiburz' nurse and how to continue working with my shoulder towards a safe and healthy recovery. Thank you.

Dr. Kiburz did a total knee replacement on me recently, and I have only positive things to say. He explained everything well, and I felt very confident in him from the get go. My post op period has gone very well, no problems at all. He is an excellent surgeon, and a very caring doctor. Would highly recommended him, and will have him do my other knee when the time comes!

Dr. Kiburz did surgery to clean up a meniscus tear on each knee, one year apart. Both knees had been very painful. After the surgery the pain was gone. He was very clear in his explanation of my problem, treatment options and probable outcomes. He did not promise that I would be pain free after surgery. I have gone back to him for a shoulder issue. I think he is an excellent doctor and I have recommended him to others.

Dr. Kiburz did my total knee replacement July 2017 and I was skiing and snowboarding by Nov 2017. I had 2 options he explained and I said I wanted the TKR to continue my active lifestyle. Although I was only 52 he agreed it was necessary for my quality of life. He is a skilled surgeon and a kind man. He personally went to the waiting room to tell my hubby the surgery had gone well. I recommend him to everyone I know who needs knee surgery. His PA is also superb and the office staff are efficient

Dr. Kiburz performed reverse replacement surgery on my right shoulder the end of January 2018. He always explained treatment options and answered my questions in a way I understood. Dr. Kiburz is an awesome surgeon! A big thank you for fixing my shoulder!!!

My granddaughter was a patient of Dr. Kiburtz and he was very demeaning and arrogant. He doesn’t seem to really care about the significant injury of my granddaughter because it was work related. Didn’t want to help me and didn’t care for sure. Please don’t see him ever. He doesn’t deserve any credit. He’s rude and uncaring of patients needs.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kiburz for about 5 years. This practice is very efficient. Dr, Kiburz is a good listener and explains your condition, treatment options and decided upon treatment plan in a straightforward, easy to understand manner. I had a potentially career ending injury, however, Dr. Kiburz was able to surgically make the repair and after about 6 months (with lots of physical therapy) I was almost 100%. I owe my career to this gentleman. I highly recommend Dr. Kiburz!

I read not so great reviews about Dr. Kiburz, but I was scheduled for surgery with him and I was in no position to ask for someone else. I thought he was just fine. He looked at the MRI's . I asked him to work on my patella as if it was his own and I believe he did. I think he deserves a good review. I have a follow up in a couple of days

I saw Dr. Kiburz in 2013 and 2014 for a work injury to my knee. I can say that I only wish I could've seen another Dr. Not only was he rude but he never even looked at my knee. He stated he doesn't look at the MRIs he goes by the statement of the tech that performs them. To this day,I'm still waiting surgery hopefully with another surgeon. I would never let him touch my leg. I have talked to people who he did surgery on, and said he left them worse than before the surgery
