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.

Excellent Knowledgeable Doctor
I was referred to Dr. Colbath by my Internist when I complained of groin pain. Dr. Colbath and his staff were very friendly and easy to understand as they explained my problems (osteoarthritis in hip) and what would and would not work. I was given some guidance to relieve pain and prepare for surgery in the future. After one year, my hip had rapidly deteriorated and I chose surgery which has been a success. It has been a team effort meaning I have had to do my exercises and control my diet in addition to following their instructions for pre and post operation. I highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Colbath is an excellent doctor. He took care of me when I broke my ankle. He took the time to explain everything that was wrong and how he would help me heal. I am so pleased with him that he will be doing two shoulder replacements for me. He is the first doctor who listened to me, understood the pain I was having, and told me he could help me. I couldn’t me anymore pleased then I am with my treatment. I would highly recommend Dr. Colbath.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Colbath. I have had two surgeries with him and he was always there quickly with any questions or concerns I had via texts or through his office staff. The outcomes have been excellent. I would not hesitate to go to him with any concerns I may have in the future. He is a GREAT doctor AND surgeon.

I have severe cartilage deteriation in my left knee from osteoarthritis and I have a baker's cyst and torn meniscus and bone spurs I was referred to Dr colbath by my pain Dr and I was in hopes that he would do arthoscopic surgery to remove the cyst and repair the tear and clean my knee up but he said that my weight was the cause and basically it would not help but I don't understand his logic because regardless of whether I lost weight or not the damage is already there . not at all satisfied ??
