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.Lang is a amazing surgeon, he is the friendliest and most caring doctor I have seen. He did a incredible job of a high tibial osteotomy, which fixed my leg from being very bent to being perfectly straight again. I owe him a lifetime of gratitude.

I owe my life to this man. I was in a motor vehicle crash in 2013 which left extensive trauma to my left leg/foot. Going into my first surgery, my mother had to sign an open ended OR release- meaning they may or may not have been able to save my mangled foot. Dr Lang and his staff did what they do best and pulled off the impossible. They saved my foot despite their uncertainties. Many surgeries, and nearly 6 years later I am living a fairly normal life. My foot will never be 100%, but that is not the point. With the extent of trauma, I am lucky I didn't lose it. I am forever grateful for this man, and have no idea what situation I would be in without his diligent effort to give me my life back. Thank you, Dr. Lang! You are a real life hero in my eyes!?

Terrific surgeon. He does use at times old fashion plates, but he leaves beautiful scars and does a good job repairing the primary problem.
