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.

Total Knee Replacement
Dr. Larkin and his entire staff are highly responsive to questions, concerns, any issues, as well as special requirements. My experience with surgery was exceptional - pain was very manageable, recovery seemed quick, and progress has been much faster than I anticipated. I have recommended Dr. Larkin to family and friends on a number of occasions.

Outstanding care and expertise
Dr. Larkin is very responsive. He acted quickly to get me into a hip replacement surgery after a sudden accident. He listens well and answers all questions. His skill and expertise helped with planning, resolution, and recovery. I felt well taken care of and was guided by his advice, and I have appreciated his excellence as a surgeon. He cares and it shows.

Why I love Dr. Larkin
Dr. Larkins reputation Is stellar! He did my hip replacement in 2017 on the left side and it was a huge success. As to my x-ray yesterday, I need a right hip replacement due to bone-on -bone arthritis. He listens and talks to you, not at you. He is both professional and Compassionate. I trust him and his staff and he runs a well-oiled machine! My next surgery is in August and I can’t wait.

Highly Recommend
I had cortisone shots in both knees. Not what I'd call a joyful experience, but the shots weren't too bad, and now I can run up stairs. So... job done. Staff and environment were friendly and efficient. No problems. Dr. Larkin is a good guy. High compliment coming from me.

A New Hip!
I sought 3 opinions before I decided to have surgery. I chose Dr Larkin. He explained things well, was easy to talk with, and my surgery was a slam dunk. Recovery was easy. Loved the APP he used MyMobility. The APP kept me on track with physical therapy and I didn’t have to miss work or pay for physical therapy. His office staff and PA were also awesome. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Just a terrific doctor and practice
Dr Larkin did my husband’s knee replacement (great experience), so I went to him for my knee arthritis. Entire staff was so knowledgeable and intuitive. You know right away there’s nothing Dr Larkin hasn’t seen; you’re in the very best hands.

Total Hip Replacement (x2)
I can’t recommend Dr. Larkin enough! He performed both of my hip replacements, and the results have been nothing short of incredible. From our very first appointment, Dr. Larkin was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain the procedures and address all my concerns. His expertise and skill were evident throughout the process, and I’m thrilled with the outcome.Thanks to Dr. Larkin, I’m looking forward to returning to all my favorite activities—pain-free! If you’re considering hip replacement surgery, Dr. Larkin is the surgeon you want by your side

A patient not just a Condition
I have been seeing Dr Larkin for a few years now. He has always discussed the best form of care for me and not just my knee issues. He has been awesome and I really appreciate his honesty and expertise! I see him as a partner in my condition, not a Dr just telling me what he wants. In fact he has always managed my conditions for management vs. surgery!
