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.

His time is more important than yours
His treatment for a sore hip did nothing to ease the pain. When I called to ask if there was anything he wanted to try next, I was told he doesn't take patients' phone calls. What kind of doctor won't talk to his patients on the telephone?

Had my right hip replaced July 2020. Have to say it was a life changing decision for all the right reasons. Before surgery I had to use a cane and walked with a very prounced listing gait. My wife had to help put on and tie my shoe. I could not stand properly on my two feet but had to put my right foot atop my left foot and lean on my cane. Now, eight months later I walk normally, stand flat footed with both my soles on the ground, mow the lawn etc. and never use my cane. If you are thinking of a hip replacement, run don’t walk and see Dr. Klimisch! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Dr Klimisch & his staff are remarkable. I had my right knee replaced Sept of 2014 then my left knee in June of 2016. I cannot say enough about his excellent work and his concern to do the best. I have, and will recommend him as a great surgeon.

I knew I needed knee replacements by my doctor in a previous state. I had left knee replacement in December and in February I had my right knee replacement. Dr Klimisch is a great doctor and all went well.
