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.

Terrible professionalism and service today at my appointment. He did not review recent tests performed prior to the appointment. After reviewing them during the appointment, he went on to tell me he cannot even evaluate them. So why bother looking at them. Would not let me interrupt to ask questions. Extremely rude, would not recommend!

Dr. Ames did an amazing job on my acl reconstruction. Got me in to surgery fast. Just one month later I’m walking with barely a limp with no pain. Every day gets better. Great surgeon, awesome bedside manner.

Dr Ames was amazing. He was thorough, available, answered all my questions and I felt very well cared for. My recovery was quick. I needed minimal pain medication and had a full recovery of my ACL repair. I am able to bike, ski, and hike again. Thanks Dr Ames!
