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.

Dr. Arnold works his magic
Dr.Arnold and staff are always friendly & helpful. This visit was for arthritic pain in index finger and Dr. Arnold zapped that pain with a shot. No muss, no fuss.

In April 2024, Dr. Arnold performed a volar cyst removal on my wrist, but despite the swelling and healing subsiding, I continued to experience pain in the same spot. I initially thought it was just a part of the recovery process, but almost a year later, the cyst has returned, and the pain remains in the same area. This has led me to question whether the stalk of the cyst was fully removed, as no post-surgery scans or ultrasounds were requested by Dr. Arnold. This situation is incredibly disappointing and has been devastating for me and my family. If you’re considering volar cyst removal, I recommend finding a specialist with experience in this particular procedure. While volar cysts can return, the chances should be minimal with proper treatment. Additionally, I was out of pocket over $6,000 for a surgery that didn’t resolve the issue. Just really devastating!

Great practice
The ease of making an appointment. Friendliness of the staff. Dr. Arnold treats you as a person, not just another anonymous patient. He answers all my questions and makes recommendations based on my injury. There’s no pressure to go beyond what’s needed at the time.

I am retired family physician
I developed a joint related problem which I was not able to solve by myself. I asked Dr. Arnold for help and I could not be happier with the end result. As a physician myself, I would not be able to find anybody else more professional than Dr. Arnold, thank You.
