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.

My experience with Dr Robert was wonderful! My kneel pain is sometimes unbearable. After the X-ray didn’t show major arthritis he ordered a MRI to see if I had a torn ligament.

Terrific experience with Dr. Roberts. He’s a real professional with both a wonderful caring attitude towards his patients and expertise and experience that make him invaluable. An acquaintance who just had knee replacement surgery with Dr. Roberts recommended him wholeheartedly. If I need surgery, Dr. Roberts will do it. But he’s working with me to maintain the status quo with my knee. He respected my wishes and had all the medical knowledge to help me continue. A cut above the rest!

Dr Robert’s saw me for long standing knee pain, that had recently become more severe. He was thorough and detailed in explanation of options. I would recommend both dr Robert’s and Rebound without hesitation

Dr Roberts is a competent surgeon. He is kind and compassionate. He corrected both my knees with a bi-lateral tkr. My legs and posture are now straight (I was bow-legged before the surgery.). It’s been 12 weeks and each day I am improving. I highly recommend him.

Best ortho around! I have been seeing Dr Roberts for years to manage osteoarthritis and meniscus issues. He's always ready to help manage the pain with something other than a knee replacement, though the writing is on the wall that I will need knee replacements. When it is time to do the knee replacements I would not consider anyone else: Dr Roberts has my trust and confidence. He explains the situation carefully, listens to me patiently, appropriately takes into account what I can do NOW and what I want to be capable of in the future. BTW, his PA Kyle is fantastic. Kyle has done several synvisc injections on my knees and does a superb job. As a practice, Rebound has a tremendous staff and processes. I have trusted them for 3 arthroscopies and a rotator cuff repair. When i batter up my body I trust them to put me back together.

I would highly recommend Dr. Roberts for any problems you may have with your knee's.. His easy style makes it easy to discuss something as serious as a knee replacement.. He is a good listener, ask the right questions and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.. He has already done one knee replacement (9 years ago) and now is time for the other.. There is not another doctor I would choose over Dr. Roberts...

I have had total knee replacements for both knees from Dr. Roberts in the past two years. I highly recommend Dr. Roberts; Rebound Orthopedics; all of the staff at Rebound; and the joint replacement program at Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital. Dr. Roberts is one of the best orthopedic surgeons I have had take care of me over the past 35 years. He takes time to explain things very well. He is very friendly and genuinely interested in his patients. His PA Kyle Pirtle is also very good and I also recommend him. I received incredible care from Dr. Roberts and his staff and the join replacement team. I am very pleased with the results of my surgeries. I interviewed a few orthopedic surgeons when I began to seriously consider having my knees replaced. I am very happy that I chose Dr. Roberts and Rebound Orthopedic Clinic. Thank you for the good care.

Dr. Roberts was compassionate, thorough and very complete in his examination and recommendation for treatment. I entered my exam not knowing the source of my knee pain and I had severely limited my activity. Dr. Roberts gave me a firm diagnosis and options for treatment. He performed the least invasive choice at my first exam and I was immediately relieved of my pain. Time will tell if other treatment will be necessary but I know I am in competent caring hands. I couldn’t be more pleased.
