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.

Good job with a difficult shoulder
My patient history involves heavy weight-lifting but a history of rotator cuff tears due to (a) medicine which makes certain soft-connective tissue softer than normal and (b) aggressive bone spurs which have no problem tearing through the softened rotator cuff.Thus far, back in the gym and lifting moderate-heavy weight. Thanks, Doctor!!!

I am a senior citizen with pain in my hands. I’ve used my hands a lot with arts/crafts, crocheting, jewelry making, cooking and more. My L hand started to freeze up at times for up to 10 minutes. We are now on a treatment program of water therapy, some physical therapy, and injections to help me keep on with my handiwork.

I have been seeing Dr. Visotsky for about 20 years. I have continued to improve under his care without surgery! He totally fixed my rotator cuff problem about 10 years ago so that I no longer have that problem. I now see him on rare occasions for a carpal tunnel injection and following one of those I am as good as new for about a year. He's amazing! Dr. Visotsky has a wealth of knowledge and is fun and personable. I have recommended him to friends and they have always been most grateful, including those who have had him as a surgeon. Dr. Visotsky doesn't push surgery but if it is needed, he is an exceptional surgeon! I highly recommend Dr. Visotsky!

He cares about his patients and gets you moving in the right direction as quick and painless as possible. He explains everything he's going to do prior to the surgery. Their operating facility is top notch.
