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.

Would never recommend him to anyone, he advised me not to get a MRI on my knee after telling him it was unstable and wobbly to walk on. Waited 2 weeks and it didn't get better so I scheduled one and it revealed a torn ACL, torn meniscus and sprained MCL. I also mentioned this to a friend and he did the same thing to him. He's not to be trusted and always get a second opinion, if zero stars was an option that's what I would give.

I broke my ankle in 3 places and had it surgically repaired by Dr. Sommer. I have been a patient and have had numerous surgeries and I have to say I have NEVER felt more at ease with a surgeon in all my illnesses. He was nice, gentle, explained everything in detail and even showed me the xrays and gave me a detailed explanation of what he did and why. I would recommend this surgeon to anyone in need of ortho care in a heartbeat!
