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.

Outstanding
Aside from his obvious expertise (he was the only doctor that could solve the reason for my pain), he is patient anmd professional but most importantly, extraordinarily kind and genuinely invested in his patients’ care and outcomes.

An incredibly observant, attentive, and caring physician who took a sincere interest in my overall health and how it is impacting my orthopedic condition. Dr. Holmes is an excellent listener, took the time, and told me things about my health history that amazed me and how it relates to my body structure, energy, bone health, and active lifestyle.

George Holmes is a world authority on foot orthopedics. I feel he is objective and fair discussing my options with me. My situation is severe enough that my options are limited. While Dr Holmes helped me understand my options for the problem requiring surgery. He did not address options I might have for my less severe issues with my toes that currently do not require surgery. Dr Holmes could have helped me understand how to keep those toes as healthy as possible— but instead he spoke only about the toe that is acutely a problem.

Excellent doctor. Brilliant and a lovely bedside manner. He listens well and quickly moves to identifying problems through testing if necessary. He is honest and upfront about whether surgery is a good option and also provides alternatives to surgery. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is exemplary.

Dr Holmes staff was very kind and professional without being cold. There was a bit of a wait but I don’t care at all. To find a doctor who care so much and treats you as though you are the only person in the world is a miracle. Dr Holmes was nothing g short of a miracle for me. He not only addressed my ankle and gave me every conceivable option but he also spoke to my other Heath concerns with intelligence and empathy. I left his office with invaluable information and the feeling that the world isn’t such an awful place after all.

He listened carefully to what I had to say. He asked clarifying questions. Instead of making a snap-decision, he said he wanted to review what we discussed and then would get back to me. I appreciated the thoroughness of the course of action.
