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.

I wouldn’t recommend Dr. Bentley not even to a deer or a dog he did a horrible job on my husband ankle surgery my husband could barely walk up to this day he suffers from chronic pain Do to bad placement of the ankle Bad bad surgery if he couldn’t do the surgery he thought it was complicated maybe he should’ve got some help from a better doctor. he sucks No wonder he’s left nowhere to be found I wonder why he’s hiding. Orthopedic specialist are supposed to be the best qualified doctors that’s why they’re call specialist..

June 2016 Dr. Bentley crippled me for life. After I brake both a shoulder and hip, he performed a hemi-angioplasty (half replacement) on both. Instead of giving me a complete hip and shoulder replacement with coordinated parts, he inserted new bones into 70+ yr. old sockets. After 2 yrs of constant pain, the hip continues to sublex (move out of place) pinching nerves and the shoulder has an impingement that prevents strengthening and full range of motion. And corrective surgery isn't an option.

Total knee replacement went without problems. No infection or clots. Very little pain. 2 days in the hospital, a week with a walker, 2 weeks with a cane, then longer walks and 2 months after operation riding a mountain bike. I couldn't ask for better. Dr. Bentley explained the need for surgery, what to expect, limitations and answered all my questions.

Dr. Bentley was personable. He talked to me. Took his time. Explained everything I needed to know. Has been straight with me and has let me know my options for the future. On follow ups he is kind and continues to let me know what is going on.
