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.

Dr. Cormier is so kind and friendly. He’s a “down to earth” kind of person, and he makes you feel very comfortable. He has done total knee replacement surgery on both of my knees. (Surgeries were one year apart). If you have any questions, he takes the time to answer you. I was pleased with the outcome. No complications at all. Following surgery, he strongly encourages seeing a physical therapist for 6 to 8 weeks, and also exercising at home to fully recover. I would highly recommend him! He’s an exceptional surgeon! I’m thankful to him for giving me new knees, and for improving my quality of life!

I had a TKU performed by another Surgeon in Fargo a year ago. I developed a complication. I wanted to see another surgeon and I needed to stay within Essentia network and Cormier was recommended by someone who knew him. I made an appointment, waited about 3 weeks to see him. At 4 pm the day before my appointment after I made arrangements to take the day off work, his office called to say the doctor declined to see me. No other explanation other than, he does not give second opinions. Wow I was flabbergasted. I went to the twin cities and found a surgeon I am happy with. So I don’t know what kind of surgeon Dr. Cormier is, because he wouldn’t see me.
