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 mother saw another orthopedist and that was a mistake. Dr. Larsen is so nice and really helped my mother. She had the surgery she was putting off as she was afraid but we both trusted Dr. Larsen and Iris was so patient with my Mom's questions. I would recommend Dr. Larsen to anyone.

I was lucky enough to find Dr. Larsen. He helped me so much that I ended up sending my whole family to him. If you want to have an orthopedist who is very patient, understanding and very knowledgeable call Dr. Larsen at Bayside Orthopedics.

Dr Larsen did my double knee replacements, he is the best! I have recommended him to several family members and friends and they have all been very impressed and have had great success with the procedures he has done. He is very calm and caring...

I wish all of my doctors and their offices were like this one. Everyone is friendly and knows what they are doing. Gina greets me by name and with a smile. Dr. Larsen fixed me and I have referred him to my neighbors. Iris answered all of my questions. Go here and you won't be disappointed.

Dr Erik Larsen IS the best orthopedic surgeon in the area. He and his staff are professional, responsive, empathetic. He reduced my fears of full knee replacement and had me back to work in 2 months instead of 3 months. I only needed to stay over night at CMC and the stay there was the best care I ever received. I have to have my other knee done, I will be coming back to Dr. Larsen.

I'm a difficult patient and my anxiety makes it worse! I have walked out of 2 orthopedic offices and put off treatment for over 10 years ... until my aunt told me about Dr. Larsen -who changed my life! the first orthopedic who really took time out to listen to me and work with my fears. The So grateful! I would highly recommend to family and friends! Iris -surgical coordinator- has gone above and beyond, I am so grateful for all the time she took to help me fully prepare for my first surgery!

Great doctor. Knows all the appropriate tests to be done to find the problem. He knows how to find the problem and how to take care of it. Don't worry about waiting in the waiting room.
