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.

In Good Hands!
Dr. Gottschalk is fantastic! He is sharp, thorough, hilarious, and makes time to connect with his patients and their families. Our son saw him first at the tender age of 3, and when he experienced a different injury 12 years later, there was only one orthopedist we wanted to see. You never want your kid to get hurt, but when they need care, seek the best. You won’t be disappointed with the expertise Dr. Gottschalk has to offer!

Best doctor ever
I will come back to see Dr Gottschalk if we ever need a pediatric orthopedic surgeon again. His bedside manner is the best I have seen in a while. He spoke to my 12 son and not me. He answered any questions and made my family so comfortable.

My child and I were both very comfortable with Dr. Gottschalk! He took the time to explain to myself and my child, his treatment through every step; and looked for our affirmation in understanding the process. My child left the office feeling great about having his issue treated, and remarked on how Dr. Gottschalk was funny and made him feel comfortable. We were both thankful for the time he gave to the situation, and his attention to our questions and concerns!

Great bedside manner
Dr. Gottschalk has a gentle and caring bedside manner and he is always willing to spend time with you to ease your fears. Our 2 year old had an operation on her thumb and he was very kind and thoughtful about our entire experience as the parents and the child. I felt like I could trust him.

Great doctor!
Dr. Gottschalk is amazing! He is very personable and knowledgeable. He explains things so that you and your child can easily understand them and really talks to your child as an individual. My daughter loved him (and his jokes) and I was impressed with his knowledge and expertise. I am a registered nurse so I have worked with lots of doctors and Dr. Gottschalk is one of the best I have ever seen. I would highly recommend him for anyone in need of a pediatric orthopedic surgeon.

Great Doctor
Dr Gottschalk and his staff are all amazing! He has made my daughter feel very comfortable in his office. He is not only very accessible and great at explaining things to me as the parent, but also great with my daughter, the patient. Cannot say enough good things! I really appreciate the great care!

Excellent!
Dr Gottschalk was wonderful. A lot of drs just talk with parents and forgot that their patient is a kid. Dr Gottschalk was not like that. He explains things well and included my son in all aspects of the conversation. Plus he and his staff are funny, kind and professional.

Amazing doctor!
Not only did I feel like I had all the time I wanted to get my questions answered, Dr. Gottschalk was wonderful with my 8 year old daughter- speaking to her directly and making her laugh during a not-so-fun time. I had great peace of mind and will definitely choose him for all future visits!

Amazing physician!
Dr. Hilton (Dr. Gottschalk) is AMAZING!! My daughter broke her femur bone and needed surgery to fix it. She has never broken a bone in her body needless to say she has never needed surgery either. My daughter was super nervous about surgery (us parents too-not showing it in front of her) but until Dr Hilton came into the OR prep room, he made my 13 year old daughter laugh and made her at ease and us too. He was so gentle with her and asked her if she had any questions before going back to surgery. Dr Hilton explained everything in detail to us. I can not thank God enough for putting this surgeon in our path. Dr. Hilton Gottschalk is again an AMAZING surgeon/doctor! My daughter is doing much better and is still seeing him. Thank you again Dr Hilton!

Dr. With a Huge Heart
I waited a bit to write a review due to past experiences with other doctors. My daughter has recovered, and she is finally able to continue her passion. He took the time to review and explain throughly what he saw. He has the compassion of 100 doctors. I highly recommend him.
