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.

I had a left knee replacement. He did a wonderful job. I am amazed at how well I am doing. I was in hospital following knee replacement for infection and he showed up every day for me. As it turned out the infection wasn't my knee, but pheumonia. But Dr. Savage was there for me all 5 days I was in the hospital for the infection. He did a wonderful job on my knee. It is like normal now. No more walker or cane. Can bend it all way back and straighten it.

I would not recommend this dr. He is abrasive and has no bedside manner. He needs to not accept any new patients and deal more effectively with those he has. Very difficult to get an appointment with him. I had to wait three months, just to be called to be rescheduled in another three months. I was then scheduled with his associate as explained to me by the receptionist; however, in contacting my insurance company I found the associate was a PA. I felt deliberately deceived.
