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.

Post Op, Pre completion of healing, Optimistic!!!!
So far, I feel things are going well after shattering my lower left leg in a minor motorcycle accident. The team checked multiple times per day for any signs of infection and so far, I think it is healing as well as can be expected. I had no choice as to who was going to be operating on me as I came in by ambulance, pain meds already in my system and I had to trust things would work out well. Now that I'm home healing, and creating a contact for my surgeon, I'm happy to read about his earlier degrees in mechanical engineering. So if anyone is going to understand how the angles and weight work; plus how all the bones affect a person's stride and gate, it would be a mechanical engineering who knows exactly how the structures need be to withstand weight-in-motion. And so it is with the knowledge I've read about his education and training that gives me the confidence to write this review before I meet him again in 10 more days for a check up, and before the healing has even been completed
