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.

Definitely would Recommend
For the first time in over 10 years I felt heard. The doctor didn't just disregard the pain issues. He recommended a scan to confirm thre reason for the pain that has been increasing after the knee replacement surgery that was completed by a different orthopedic specialist over 10 years ago.

I was so blessed to find Dr Mulligan. In 7 months time he gave me a total hip replacement and both total knee replacements and it was fantastic of course now that it's all behind me. I'm 66 years old so I didn't want to be under anesthesia which he does not use as well as the incision on the outside has no staples or stitches it was glued shut which made for very nice scars that I think will probably almost fade away within a year. He came very highly recommended to me and I would like to pass that on and recommend him.

Dr. Brian Mulliken
Dr. Millikan is an outstanding surgeon and excellent at conservative management as well. He is a great communicator and has a wonderful bedside manner. He treated my torn meniscus many years ago and is now managing my knee conservatively.

The knee Doctor is highly recommend
Dr. Mulliken answers all my questions and has such a good patient rapport that I highly recommend him. I had both knees replaced- 6 weeks apart and both experiences were easier than I expected. He was very well recommended and his skill in surgery was what I experienced.

Dr Mulliken
He is the best. He actually takes time to listen to what you have to say. He is so nice and explains everything to you. The office is very clean and everyone is very professional and I have never been in there more than like 45 minutes. I always get there a little early and its ok. Sometimes I'm walking out at the time of my actual appointment lol when I get there early.

Office Visit with Dr. Mulliken
Dr. Mulliken examined my problem. He reviewed what we had previously done and then provided options for us to use for future treatment. I am very comfortable when I am going over my situation with him. He listens, gives you his opinion on the best course of action, and then gives you different choices. Very pleased with his work on all my previous dealings with him.

Good explanation of complex knee revision surgery
Dr. Mulliken was patient, focused, informative with all my questions regarding my extremely complex knee revision surgery. This was my 2nd week post-op checkup of the incision and with X-rays. and staple removal. It was amazing, difficult surgery with excellent results. I am so grateful!
