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.

Dr English took the time to walk me through what he would be doing during my surgery. He didn't rush through meeting with me. His staff is extremely friendly also!

My son hurt his wrist in football. Dr. English was able to fit me in the next day. His staff was super nice. He set my son up with the treatment plan to get him back to playing as soon as possible. Highly recommend Dr. English

A severe infection in my thumb threatened a possible loss of it - the care Dr. English provided was beyond phenomenal. Not only did I not lose my thumb but I have full function and only minor tells it was ever in danger - I wish he did hips as I need that done now

Was referred to Dr. English from my GHP. One of the Secretaries called to set up the appointment during which time I mentioned all 3 concerns I have on both hands. Her response was, "Well, ugh, I mean, if he has time to address all 3 then I guess he could." I said, "If he doesn't have time to address each issue, I'll go somewhere else." "Well, he probably does." she responds. Umm, no. When I pay a 'Specialist' fee for my visit, I want all issues to be addressed during that visit. I'm not going to come back multiple times to address each issue. And if he doesn't have time to do that, there are plenty of other Doctor's in the valley. Nothing against Dr. English since I never even met him, but when your front office Staff treats potential CUSTOMERS like this, maybe it's time to reevaluate who you have representing your business.

I shattered my elbow and was fortunate to have Dr. English as my surgeon. I'm no spring chicken and was concerned that the severe injury would have negative long-term consequences. Dr. English did a masterful job with the surgery, which required seven screws and two plates to put the elbow back together. One year later, my elbow is fine. The result surprised my physical therapist and nearly everyone else who saw the initial damage. In addition to performing a superb surgery, Dr. English was patient, calm and encouraging throughout my experience with him. I am very grateful and highly recommend him.

Just excellent! I thought I had a torn rotator cuff (very painful, very limited range of motion, and I play guitar semi-professionally, this was bad!), so I came in without an appointment. They took me in with minimal waiting (thanks Dana!) and X-rayed my shoulder (thanks Chaily!). Dr. English came in soon thereafter and said I had ‘pseudo gout’, showed it to me on the X-ray, and prescribed large doses of ibuprofen. I admit I was skeptical, but Dr. English really got it right! Thank you sir! Within hours my pain was nearly gone and my range of motion returned to better than 90%! I played two gigs that night and no one could tell that I had a serious problem earlier that day! Three weeks later, I came back with a full list of questions and Dr. English answered every one of them. You can trust that Dr. English knows what he is doing. And his nursing and front desk staff are great. Thank you to everyone who helped me on my two visits! I am glad that I came to your office! Jay Christensen

I appreciate Dr. English. I fell and shattered my wrist and went to theemergency room where I first met Dr. English. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. I am a piano player and was concerned I would be limited or unable to play again. I am pleased to say I CAN! Dr.English is very gentle , kind and likeable. If I need this kind of service again I will certainly go to him.

I severed the Extensor Pollicis Longus tendon and nerve branch in my right hand/thumb on a Sunday night before Thanksgiving. Dr. English squeezed me in on Monday morning and surgery on Wednesday afternoon. Yes, Wednesdsy afternoon before Thanksgiving, when most doctors would be calling it an early Holliday. He did a fantastic job! My injury was healed and good to go in 10 weeks. He is very kmowledgable and actually listens to his patients. Thanks, Dr. English!
