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.

Rather abrupt in manner but takes time to clearly explain issues and side effects. Does not push surgery as a cure-all. Clean office, cheerful staff, no wait. Would highly recommend.

Refused to write an order for rehab (insurance had already agreed to authorize) for an 83 year old patient who needed assistance (that family could not provide) after a carpel tunnel surgery on her right wrist, because as his staff stated ‘he didn’t want to follow her” in rehab.
