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 whole team was Great!

Dr. Holt did my right hip replacement on 8-10-22 and I have had excellent results with the surgery. I have had other health issues not related to the hip surgery. I have no pain from the hip surgery. I do have an inflamed saciriliac that is probably not related to the surgery so I am dealing with that.

Right Knee Replacement
Dr Holt and his team provided a very positive experience from the initial consult, through surgery, and the on-going follow-up. Thye are all so very positive and professional, and I firmly believe that the surgery itself set me up for the continued success I have had throughout my recovery.
