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 would highly recommend Dr. Ereckson. He fixedmy patella that was broken in five places by placing a couple of pins and wire to hold it all in place. Nine months later when the pins were bothering me (I was so active that the pins eventually were moving) he removed them. I loved the fact that for both surgeries he glued my knee back instead of stitching them. Don't be afraid to ask questions of make small talk with him. He's a busy Dr. but a compassionate one!
