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 crushed my elbow, April 24, 2000, broke it in 8 places. Dr Eastman did an amazing job at putting it back together ?? 24 years later, no arthritis, no problems! You are amazing & I'll be forever grateful!

Knee replacement.
I had knee replacement surgery done by Dr.Eastman fifteen years ago. I’m now 95 years old and those years were so much easier because of his great work. I’ll never be able to thank you enough. Sincerely Catherine D. McPhail

In 1992 I was in a bad accident 4.5 months pregnant . Dr. Eastman and team were outstanding and put me back together while pregnant, and I had a beautiful healthy baby girl ! I thank Dr. Eastman and team from my heart everyday for being able to walk again and keeping me and my baby alive and healthy !

I have had 27 years of chronic pain because Dr. Eastman botched my tarsal tunnel surgery. He never took responsibility for what he did wrong.

Do not go to him! He messed up my elbow from a minor surgery. My elbow hurts all the time when I use it now. I went to him like 5 times after surgery and he said it should be fine and there's nothing else he can do for me. Everyone I know that has went to him has has major problems that they shouldn't have with a good surgeon.

Dr. Eastman did a left shoulder replacement in 2005. Was told it would last 10 years. It's been 11 years and my replacement is still doing great.
