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. Pocos performed a partial replacment of my right knee. First and foremost, Dr Pocos listened and understood what I was going thru, my primary doctor did not even persue to see the exstent of my injury. Withen two weeks of my intial visit Dr Pocus had diagnosed the sevarity, explained three options in length and had a game plan to get me back to a better quality of life. The staff pushed thru all the insurance approvals and meet all my time line expectations with out any delays. I would recommend Dr. Pocos and staff to everyone.

Dr. Pocos replaced my left knee. I am very happy with his work. He explained the surgery to me so I knew exactly what the surgery would entail. He is very professional and I wasn’t worried how it would come out at all. He is the kind of doctor you want doing your operation, respectful of your concerns, very down to earth, and follows up on his patient’s health and progress. His staff at the office is top notch, very helpful and understanding of your needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Pocos to anyone, you would be hard pressed to find a better Doctor!

Dr Pocos took me as a second opinion patient in February. I wasted 2 months with another orthopedic doctor. I've since had surgery on my dislocated shoulder which also had a torn rotator cuff and ligament damage that was totally missed/ignored by the previous doctor. Thanks! I appreciate your care, concern & action in my case

He knows his stuff and is up to date on treatments that work. For joint issues (knees, hip, shoulder, etc.), see an ORTHOPOD, not a chiropractor
