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.

Life changing!
Dr. Hamlin was recommended to me by a friend after I had been seen by several other orthopedic surgeons. None of the other surgeons would even consider doing hip replacement surgery for me because I was much younger than the average patient. I had suffered from hip dysplasia since birth and was in pain and was so frustrated that no one would help me. Dr. Hamlin not only fixed my hip issues but also gave me much better quality of life! I no longer have a terrible limp and the pain is gone! He is a compassionate and caring physician. I would highly recommend Dr. Hamlin

I had a knee replacement in October of 2021. Dr Hamlin did an excellent job. I can finally walk without a limp and I’m pain free.

In 2008 I had severe pain and could hardly walk. Dr. Hamlin performed hip replacement surgery and I have nothing but praise for him. I think I will soon need the same procedure on my other hip. I am very sad that Dr. Hamlin is no longer in Morgantown to perform the surgery.

Dr. Hamlin performed by full knee replacement less than six weeks ago. He is a miracle worker. I left the hospital without a walker, used my cane for one week. Following three sessions of PT per week for the next four weeks, I am 100% rehabilitated. I have never felt better. I highly recommend Dr. Hamlin. He also made a point to see me in the hospital while I was there. Today, I had my surgical follow up appointment and Dr. Hamlin told me there were no restrictions. If and when I have need for another knee replacement, I will contact Dr. Hamlin right away. Thank you, Dr. Hamlin, Sincerely, Karen Hessel

Dr Hamlin took time and care of me, my concerns and my family's concerns. I had a difficult injury and was losing hope. Dr Hamlin took steps to attempt other therapies. I am forever grateful to Dr Hamlin and his awesome team. Yes I have a ways to go but considering my previous conditions I am 300% better and taking life on.

I was very terrified to have hip replacement surgery, and Dr. Hamlin made me feel at ease and gave me wonderful care afterward. After 2 years, I feel wonderful, and I am so glad I made the decision to do the surgery.

dr. Hamlin and his staff are very thorough in explaining the procedures that make their outcomes so successful . I am very happy with my hip replacement and wish I had done it two years ago . They get you up and moving the day of your surgery and I think it really helps guarantee a good outcome . We drove two hours to get there and I would drive another two if I had to .
