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.

Would be be wary of patient qualification process for regenerative treatment. Both myself and immediate family member have had ZERO benefits from the process. Not responsive to patient progress reports, hears what she wants to hear.

I saw Dr. Halbrecht for the first time today. Liked her immediately. She spent more time talking with me and examining my knees than any other Ortho Dr. has done in the past. She's also explained a couple of non-invasive alternatives at this point prior to every trying stem cell therapy or any kind of joint replacement. I will definitely return and recommend her.

I saw Dr. Halbrecht last June due to sharp pain on my right shoulder whenever I moved my right arm. After doing a quick in-office X-Ray, Dr. Halbrecht explained to me clearly what she thought was the best option for me -- specialized physical therapy first. Only if physical therapy could not help my condition, she would then consider other options. After five weeks of physical therapy, my shoulder was in much better shape. 10 months later, I only have occasional discomfort on my shoulder.

Dr. Halbrecht is a great doctor and surgeon! I am 12 weeks post op ACL reconstruction and have no pain, full range of motion and strength. She guided me through the whole process and made enjoyable. Great to talk to, listens to you and takes time to provide education on your injury, all options available and the plan to correct. Would highly recommend Dr. Halbrecht!!!

Currently seeing Dr. Halbrecht for knee pain. Dr. Halbrecht is a compassionate, active listener and a partner in developing treatment options for my knees. I have pursued or are pursuing with her guidance a full range of tactics - steroid injections, daily NSAID meds, physical therapy, acupuncture (not her call, but with her knowledge and encouragement), etc. She is generous with her time. Her staff is amazing. Competent and caring.

Straight forward, no nonsense care with a great staff and doctor. Very knowledgeable and practical. she is young, but reminded me of my doctor when I was a child, who I loved and trusted for 21 years!

This is ah honest description of my experience and perspective/opinion based on that experience. I would give a 0 rating if it were possible. I had an ACL revision done by Dr. Halbrecht, which resulted in a broken screw tip floating loose in my knee joint 8 mos. post op. Dr. H. was defensive and stated the screw tip could not possibly be hers - after having it removed by another surgeon it appears that it definitely was placed by her. Dr. H. was unprofessional, overly confident and lied to us.
