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.

Told me nothing was wrong with me while I was almost in tears due to pain. Got a 2nd opinion. Hip replacement scheduled in two weeks.

This place absolutely SUCKS! There is a so-called "assistant" named "rocky" who has the bedside manner of a Nazi guard from Auschwitz. She is rude and incompetent, like the rest of the staff , only to a greater degree. Their phone/fax system does NOT work at all, yet they tell you that you must fax clearances for you surgery by a certain date or they will cancel your surgery. NOBODY returns phone calls. Avoid this place, hopefully dr. Lochner is better than his INCOMPETENT staff!

Unimpressed with this office from the beginning of the appointment. The medical asst was very rude. The x-ray technician was very aggressive and also rude. Dr. Lochner spent about 3 minutes in the room. He would not give me any opinion or even talk to me. He checked my injury and then advised me to get an EMG. He would not discuss my issues and potential diagnoses. He was very unfriendly from beginning to end. Needless to say, I will not be returning. I found a wonderful Dr. after this.

I'm very impressed with Dr. Lochner. Within minutes of being in his facility he has found exactly what was wrong with my hip. I've had on-going hip pain for years. Nice to finally have an answer ??

I am very unimpressed with him. He walked into my room, never even said who he was (I had to assume it was him), didn't shake my hand, was very impersonal, never mentioned my X-rays or needing an MRI, and absolutely refused cortisone shots. He wanted me to take a medication that does not work for me and gave no other options or explaination. Also, he hardly touched my knees to look at them and when he did he goes "oh they're really inflammed." No really. I will not be going back to him.
