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.

He knows what knee pain feels like.
He's great Doctor and also a great guy. Makes you feel better physically and mentally.

Dr Holstein
I have been seeing Dr Holstein for years. He always on time and provides as much time during the visit as needed. He is attentive to my needs, is on top of current research, and is solution oriented. I wouldn't think of seeing anyone else.

Fantastic Experience!
My first appointment with Dr. Holstein. I was greeted by a very kind and professional front desk employee. My appointment was on time. Dr. Holstein was very nice, very down to earth, and professional all at the same time. He was very clear and easy to understand when explaining my orthopedic issue. He had a great bedside manner, a rarety these days. I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Holstein is the best. He has been fixing my injuries since 2005. My replaced hip and repaired knees are pain free. He does not waist time during visits and provides good advice on how best to return to an active lifestyle.

Dr holstein is a great doctor.
He is very informative regarding his patients. He replaced my left knee in 2015, I believe, and it has been just fine. I now need my right knee replaced but it cannot be done because I have hyperparathyroidism and the calcium is coming back slowly into my bones with medication. He has been giving me cortisone shots to be able to live with the pain in the right knee. Anything I will ever need that involves an orthopedic doctor it will be him I choose.
