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 Rollston performed 2 patial knee replacement surgeries. One in 2008, and the other 2013. They are still fine and I am glad I had them done. If you think you will have knees that function like when you were 16----forget it. It isn't going to happen. But, at least you can move within reason. If you kneel in prayer you'll have to be resigned to sitting in prayer. If you crawl in the crawl space of our house you will need knee pads. Dr. Rolston is not Jesus. He is just going to replace some screwed up knee joints.

Love my Total Knee Replacement
Dr Rolston was amazing. My knee hasn't been better in years. The healing process went very well. I know everyone is different, but after just 6 weeks I am swinging a golf club with no pain at all. He is very easy to talk to and explains things very well. I will send everyone I know to him.

Excellent. I didn't know I had arthritis until a car accident last November. I kept trying to walk it off. I am obese. Dr Ralston was not judgemental he addressed it mater of fact. I needed to be addressed. Sugar and extra weight make all health issues worse. He started our intial appointment with I going to explain your situation if you have any questions or concerns please stop me. I did he answered to my satisfaction and we went on. He has addressed my concerns about my recovery. I highly recommend him.

I got a total left knee and hip replacement 5 weeks ago. Everything went off without a hitch and I am so glad I got both joints fixed at the same time. Dr. Rolston made sure I knew what to expect. The most amazing thing about the experience is how accessible Dr. Rolston is to his patients. I had a problem getting some forms completed for my disability insurance and within a couple of hours of contacting Dr. Rolston, the situation was handled. Wouldn't let anyone else replace my joints.

Dr Rolston is the best. He has great bedside manner andis awesome at his surgery techniques. I hadn't been able to walk for along time. I was walking in less than 24 hours after my surgery.

I'm so upset with my appointment today. He didn't get the picture of anything I said. He doesn't understand that all treatments, & recommendations make the pain worse. He said he sees nothing. He's forcing me to do physical therapy 2 or 3 times. I told I've had 2 surgeries on the shoulder in 13. I'll never go back again to see him again! I'm going to tell those I know not see him. DON'T SEE THIS DOCTOR!

My only concern was the long wait - 1.5 hours. However, after meeting Dr. Rolston it was worth it. He explained everything to me in a way that I completely understood what was going on and what my options were.

The wait to see Dr. Rolston can be a little long, but he is worth it! He will listen and explain your options and the procedures he recommends - and he will go above and beyond to help you! The office temperature has been very cold the last couple of visits, so dress accordingly!
