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.

Very happy with my visit

Knee replacement was well done and answered most of my questions and concerns. In the discussion with Dr Wright after the video, he answered the remaining questions in a thorough manner

Dr. Wright is an amazing physician! Very personable with his patients. Knowing I work in healthcare as a nurse, he still takes the time to explain things to me as I am a patient, not just a nurse. He is very kind and attentive. I recommend him to anyone who needs ortho services. His NPs are amazing as well! Very kind and attentive!

They always are very caring and very complete in their visit. Sometimes maybe a little to brief and in a hurry.
