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.

Fresh, new knee
His staff and he are personable and cut to the chase. My new knee is working perfectly and after 5 weeks, this 80-year-old man couldn't be happier. My pain levels were down to highs of less than 8 after the first week. After 5 weeks, the highest pain level is less than 5. I recommend him for knee replacement!

I highly recommend Orthopaedic Surgeon, Janak R Talwalkar, MD and his staff. Dr. Talwalkar is knowledgeable, professional, kind and caring. He takes the necessary time to properly evaluate and treat, so you don't feel rushed. I plan to see Dr. Talwalkar for all future injuries and orthopedic problems. I'm so thankful my rheumatologist, Kelly Cole MD, referred me to him.

Dr. Talwalker provides both professional and personal care. I have been a patient for many years and for different ailments. From minor injuries to one major surgery, he has provided the upmost care. His explanation of injuries, treatment options, recovery and emotional support overwhelmed me. Even though he is no longer in Danville, I will return to Dr. Talwalker's practice in Lexington, KY
