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. mages literally did not look at my knee, which had several grade 2 ligament tears. He stood across the room and said that he could see from where he was standing. He did not do any mobility or flexibility checks, which is not surprising since he did not even look at the affected joint. He said, "some tears can repair, others won't. Many people live their entire lives with tears. You'll be fine.." no instructions, no physical therapy. I was in a great deal of pain and could barely walk. When I saw a doctor who examine my knee, they were concerned for its status and sent me to physical therapy, which greatly helped. Dr. Mages, however, was completely unhelpful. I recommend against having him as your orthopedic doctor

Dr. Magee saw me for hip pain last year. His office is equipped with on-site Xray which made the whole visit convenient and easy. He treated me right away with a plan I would be comfortable with. Amazing energy and bedside manner, Would recommend Dr. Magee to ANYONE!

I have seen Dr. Magee about 3 times. He is an excellent doctor who does not sugar coat whatever is wrong with you. He is honest and sincere. I used to prefer to be babied by my doctors, but then I realized, being babied is not as important as being able to trust your doctor. Dr. Magee knows his stuff and I trust him 100%.He is very patient and takes time to answer all of your questions and makes sure you understand what he is talking about it. I highly recommend him.

Do not see this doctor. He promised follow up medication if I needed it and when I called his practice at 12:30 pm a Friday they said I'd have to wait until Monday with major pain in my dominant hand because he had properly charter the medication he agreed to make available to me. The practice claimed they had no way of getting a hold of a doctor or nurse to review my simple tendonitis diagnosis and call something which is entirely unacceptable.

In 2001 I tore the medial (inside) meniscus in my left knee. Dr Magee performed arthroscopy & removed it. Afterwards, he had to drain my knee 3x & couldn't figure out what was causing the fluid or pain I had. It turns out Dr M didn't pay attention that I was bow-legged. When he removed the meniscus I ended up w/bone-on-bone. The result has been arthritis & a degenerative joint. An osteotomy was needed & should have been done instead. To this day I am suffering w/the resulting mistake he made.
