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.

Had as great an experience as one can have when getting a partial knee replacement 11 years ago! Dr. Larson explained my options as we progressed towards surgery and we exhausted other treatment options. Loved his candidness, I never felt rushed, and he took the time before surgery to introduce me to his surgical team- that really helped put me at ease just before the surgery began. Based on those experiences I am scheduling with only him to consult on my now defunct hip..

I was very impressed with Dr. Larsen’s knowledge and honesty. He took the time to thoroughly explain my situation and offered different treatment options that I could work with. I am planning for him to do my knee replacement after the New Year but until that happens he gave me temporary relief for a very painful knee. I’m not a big fan of Medical professionals in general but am pleased to give Dr. Larsen very high marks in all the categories that are important in a great physician/ surgeon. I highly recommend him for any orthopedic treatment.

Dr Larson did a hip replacement for me in 2015. The bone broke, so he put a wire cage around it to hold things in place. Since then I have been in constant pain and that stress has exacerbated my MS. I now need to use a wheelchair constantly and my quality of life since that surgery has plummeted. Dr Larson was very apologetic and kind, but I can't recommend him to anyone.

I was seen by Dr. Larson for a patellar tendon repair. Repair went well, but I came out of the surgery with staff. In the end I had 3 surgeries including the original repair. One was a botched irrigation debrievment by Dr. Larson and his staff. I spent 10 days in the hospital and 6 weeks with a PICC line to cure the infection. Would not recommend this doctor to anyone!

Dr. Larson has given me excellent care this past year. I suffered a compound (multiple) fracture in my right lower leg bones. He is very "matter of fact" when explaining options and takes the time to answer any and all of my questions. His staff is awesome and caring; his nurse, front desk, imaging/x-ray etc. I've been there a lot and every time I have been treated excellent.

Dr. Larson and his staff (especially Jason) were extremely professional and personable, answered all my questions and even went beyond the call to order a final x-ray from a Florida Radiology group as we are Florida residents in the winter. I had a double tib/fib break of the ankle with a plate and screws, etc. I would definitely recommend Dr. Larson.

He repaired my hip replacement that broke the bone. This was the third surgery on the same hip in two months. He did an excellent job & I now feel it is finally healing. He was covering for another doctor who was out of town. He got me in very quickly & did a wonderful job. He met me at the hospital for the first time & couldn't have been nicer. I would highly recommend him.

I have had nothing but good experiences with him. He has not only given me time, patience, and fixed my bone issues on more than one occasion, he has also helped my daughter with her knee. I would refer anyone to him. He's very knowledgeable and thorough.

Dr. Larson canceled an appointment six minutes prior to the appointment time for a non-emergency reason and then had his receptionist blame, me, the patient for the canceled appointment. I had waited a week and half to get the appointment and had traveled for over an hour to get to the clinic, so this was frustrating, a waste of my time, and ultimately I had to find different doctor and make another appointment. I not only wouldn't recommend this doctor, I would highly discourage everyone.
