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.

Great Doctor with Care
Dr. Dolbeare is very kind and a great listener. He was very busy, but showed compassion and care during my visit. Appreciate a doctor who cares! Staff was great, too!

Dr Dolbeare is my absolute favorite guy!!
You can't find a better doctor who listens, answers all my crazy questions and has the best bedside manners!! He's soo funny and so darn likeable. I moved and thought about going to another orthopedic doc but I just can't believe I'd find anyone that could match Dr. Dolbeare, so it's worth the drive to see him. He's the best!! Thank you for your kindness, sense of humor and expertise Dr. Dolbeare!!

Truly Amazing Doctor and excellent Surgeon. His staff, PA and Medical Assistant are outstanding. Hip surgery was a success. 6 weeks later absolutely no more hip pain and almost back to normal. So very glad I found him.

Dr. Dolbeare is truly amazing!
At my recent visit with Dr. Dolbeare, he spent close to an hour listening to my concerns regarding my knee and about how my severe pain and loss of lifestyle has negatively impacted my life. He spent time explaining options for my care and giving me the information I needed to make an informed decision. Dr. Dolbeare was compassionate and caring and demonstrated a willingness to really listen and respond to what I had to say. This level of compassion, concern, and willingness to listen is something that you don’t often see at medical visits. I appreciate his desire to make sure that I felt heard and that I understood what my choices are. Thank you!
