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.

In my experience with the clinic, Pam called me and said I could finally half a hip replacement and they found a doctor to finally do my knee surgeries instead of bi lateral amputations above the knee. I was so elated, I told my whole family and they were so enthusiastic and relieved that there was finally a chance I could walk again without having both of my legs amputated. A week later I was called back by Pam to 'clarify' my treatment options, she said then my only option was to have a double amputation and that she had never said that. What an absolute joke, both myself and my entire family is completely devastated. When people's entire quality of life is in the balance, false hope is a despicable act.

Dr GS did an excellent job communicating with me about my 90 yo mother. He arranged surgery after careful consideration and discussion. He understood the goals of care. He is excellent!1

Dr Goodspeed repaired my badly broken acetabular joint due to a bicycling crash. Today now 4 years later I can tell you that he did a perfect job and I loved everything about his skill/ability and his bed side manner!
